Louis IV d'Outremer

Louis IV (920–954), called d'Outremer, was the son of Charles the Simple. After his father's capture in 923 he was raised in England, until Hugh the Great recalled him and he was crowned at Laon in 936.

In 939 he married Gerberga of Saxony. Captured by Normans in 945, he was handed to Hugh the Great and released in 946 after surrendering Laon. He died at Reims in 954 after falling from his horse while chasing a wolf, and his son Lothair succeeded him.
