[1]: 876 Death of Louis the German: east Francia divided between his sons (Karlmann of Bavaria, Louis the Younger of Franconia/Saxony, Charles the Fat of Alemannia and Alsace)
[2] Upon the death of Louis the German (876), east Francia was partitioned into three kingdoms: Bavaria went to Carlomann, the nothern sector plus Lotharingia went to Louis the Younger, and the southwestern portion, namely Alsace and Alemannia, was apportioned to Charles the Fat.
[3] King Louis, surnamed the German, had died in August of the year 876, leaving three sons. In the division of the kingdom, the southern and eastern privinces, collectively known by the name of Bavaria, were alloted to Carlmann, the elder of the princes; Charles, afterwards surnamed "the Fat", obtained Swabia, Alsace, and Transjurane Burgundy; and Louis, youngest, shared Eastern Franconia, Saony and a part of Lorraine.
[4] Charles appears to have received Alsace and the northern Burgundian pagi.
