8 ago 870 ano - Treaty of Meerssen

Descrição:

The Treaty of Mersen or Meerssen, concluded on 8 August 870, was a treaty of partition of the realm of Lothair II, known as Lotharingia, by his uncles Louis the German of East Francia and Charles the Bald of West Francia, the two surviving sons of Emperor Louis I the Pious. The treaty followed an earlier treaty of Prüm which had split Middle Francia between Lothair I's sons after his death in 855.

The treaty is commonly referred to in some Western European historiographies as the third major partition of Francia, all of which took place from August 843 to August 870, through treaties of Verdun, Prüm and Mersen's. It was followed by Treaty of Ribemont.
