  • January 912: The opportunity was provided by the childless death of the East Frankish King (King of Germany), Ludwig IV, who had succeeded his half-brother Wentibold as King of Lotharingia. Conrad I of Franconia was elected as king of Germany, who did not meet many sympathy among the most influential families of Lotharingia, who in fact already in November had elected their king Charles III, who, having sanctioned peace with the Normans on the western border, was able occupy the kingdom of Lotharingia and settle from 1 January 912.
