Years: 945 - 945
Within the Kingdom of Italy, Hugh has intensified his existing habit of giving any available offices or lands to relations, including his numerous legitimate and illegitimate progeny, and a small circle of old and trusted friends.
The effect this has had on Italian nobles, who see this as threatening themselves, eventually results in rebellion.
In 941, Hugh had expelled Berengar of Ivrea from Italy and abolished the March of Ivrea.
In 945, Berengar returns from exile in Germany and defeats Hugh in battle.
By a diet Berengar holds at Milan, Hugh is deposed, though he manages to come to terms by which he nominally keeps the crown and the title rex (king) but returns to Provence, leaving his son Lothair as nominal king, but with all real power in Berengar's hands.
