The Emperor sends his son Lothair to…

829 CE

The Emperor sends his son Lothair to Pavia in August 829 to wear the Iron Crown.

Louis summons Bernard to replace his son at court, granting him the title of camerarius or Chamberlain and the custody of the young Charles, at this time just Duke of Alsace, Alemannia, and Rhaetia, but later destined to be King of West Francia.

Bernard delegates the government of his counties to his brother Gaucelm, who thereupon takes the title marchio or margrave.

After only a few months at court, Bernard has made many enemies.

Indeed, he is the prime catalyst for the revolt of Lothair the following year.
