Why is Charles the Fat famous?

Charles III, or Charles the Fat, was born to King Louis the German in 839 in the Carolingian Empire.

Charles the Fat was a great-grandson of Charlemagne.

The territory Charles ruled over was massive, including most of France, Northern Italy, and even through Switzerland.

Charles ran into trouble with Viking raiders twice during his reign. He paid them off, but this eroded his power.

Charles the Fat was deposed in a coup led by his nephew Arbulf of Carinthia. Arbulf had trouble solidifying his gains, and died in 899.

The Empire Charles ruled over fractured after his death in 888. These lands would not be united again until the conquests of Napoleon almost 1000 years later.
