Louis (also Ludwig or Lewis) the German (806 – 28 August 876) also known as Louis II was a grandson of Charlemagne and the third son of the succeeding Frankish Emperor Louis the Pious and his first wife Ermengarde of Hesbaye.He received the appellation ‘Germanicus’ shortly after his death in recognition of the fact that the bulk of his territory had been in the former Germania. The epithet ‘the German’ is the sign of an early national historical reinterpretation.
