place of burial=|Carloman (German: "Karlmann"; 830 – 29 September 880) was the eldest son of
Louis the German , king ofEast Francia (Germany ), and Emma, daughter of the countWelf . He was king of Bavaria from 876 and ofItaly from 877 until he was incapacitated in 879 and died in 880.He revolted in 861 and again two years later (863); an example that was followed by the second son,
Louis the Younger , who in a further rising was joined by his brotherCharles the Fat . In 865, Louis was obliged by the dissidence of his sons to provide for the eventual division of his territories: Carloman was promised the kingdom ofBavaria (which Louis himself had once held under "his" father), together with the Ostmark; Louis the Younger was promisedSaxony , together withFranconia andThuringia ; Charles the Fat was promisedSwabia , together withRhaetia .A report that
Emperor Louis II was dead led to peace between father and sons and attempts by Louis the German to gain the imperial crown for Carloman. These efforts were thwarted by Louis II, who was not in fact dead. In 876, Louis the German died and his sons inherited their lands; Carloman thus became King of Bavaria. The brothers maintained concord amongst themselves, contrary the example set by their own father and uncles and their cousins.Upon the death of
Charles the Bald ofWest Francia in 877, Carloman also becameking of Italy and aimed at gaining the Imperial crown, but in 879, he was crippled by astroke and divided his dominions as his father had done. He granted Louis Bavaria and Charles Italy. He had no legitimate issue, but had a concubine named Litwinde. His illegitimate son by her, Arnulf, was granted theduchy of Carinthia . Arnulf later became king of Germany and Italy and emperor.ee also
