• Notes

  Adélaïde of Paris (Aélis) (German: Adelheid von Friaul; c. 850/853 - 10 N o v e m b er 901) was a Frankish queen. She was the second wife of Louis the S t a m m e rer, King of West Francia and mother of Charles the Simple. Adelaide was daughter of the count palatine Adalard of Paris. She was c h o s e n b y Charles the Bald, King of Western Francia, to marry his son an d h e i r , L ouis the Stammerer, despite the fact that Louis had secretly m ar r i e d A nsgarde of Burgundy against the wishes of his father. Although L o u i s a n d Ansgarde already had two children, Louis and Carloman, Charles p r e v a i led upon Pope John VIII, to dissolve the union. This accomplished, C h a r l e s married his son to Adelaide in February 875. However, the marria g e w a s c a lled into question because of the close blood-kinship of the p a i r . W h en on 7 September 878 the pope crowned Louis (who had succeeded h i s f a t h er in the previous year), the pope refused to crown Adelaide.
