Carloman II of West Francia

Carloman II (c. 866–884), second son of Louis the Stammerer, succeeded to West Francia in 879 and ruled with his brother Louis. In 880 they divided their father's realm, Carloman taking Aquitaine, and in August 881 routed Viking raiders at Saucourt-en-Vimeu.

After Louis's death in 882 Carloman ruled alone, facing Viking raids. In December 884, while hunting, he was stabbed in the leg by his servant during a boar attack and died days later. His cousin Charles the Fat inherited his kingdom.
