History
Charles the Bald, born in 823, was king of West Francia from the Treaty of Verdun in 843 and emperor from 875 until his death in 877. The Vivian Bible, presented to him in 845, shows him enthroned on folio 239v. Viking fleets and his brothers' wars were the two pressures of the reign.
In 867 he is 43, holding France and Aquitaine in the Carolingian bookmark, rated Medium. The imperial title is still eight years away. A reunited Carolingian empire is the decision the bookmark tempts, and the brothers are the obstacle.
