After this, Conrad of Franconia ruled Germany from 911-918, and was followed by the Saxon dynasty.
Carolingian Kings -- Lotharingia Please don't start articles on these guys till we figure out what to call them, because by breaking them into separate kingdoms, we have a really confused numbering system -- especially as the imperial crown (and sometimes the other crowns)gets passed back and forth between all three branches
- Lothar 795-855, Emperor 817-855
- Louis II 825-875, Emperor 855-875
- Lothar II 835-869
- Zwentibold 870/1-900 son of Arnulf of Carinthia by a concubine
Louis II had only daughters, one of whom, Ermengard, married Boso of Provence, thus providing the family connection for Rudolph of Burgundy's claim to the throne
