NOTE: Having been excluded from the throne of France, the German Holy Roman Emperor Otto II, made Charles duke of the empire's western frontier of Lower Lorraine in 977. While waging war for the French throne, with his cousin, Hugh Capet, Charles was taken prisoner and was confined until his death in 993.
