Years: 911 - 911
September
Louis, only seventeen or eighteen years old, dies in a state of despair at Frankfurt am Main on September 20 or 24, 911.
He is buried in the monastery of Saint Emmeram in Regensburg, where his father Arnulf of Carinthia lies.
His death brings an end to the eastern (German) branch of the Carolingian dynasty.
The vacuum left in the Carolingian East will eventually be filled by the family of Henry the Fowler, a cousin, and heralds the beginning of the Ottonian dynasty.
Firstly, however, the dukes of East Francia assemble to elect Conrad of Franconia king, as opposed to the reigning king of West Francia, Charles the Simple.
The magnates of Lotharingia elect Charles.
