Lothair the Lame
Appearance
Lothair the Lame (French: Lothaire le Boiteux, c. 848 – 865[1]) was a younger son of Charles the Bald and Ermentrude of Orleans.[2] As he was born crippled, his parents sent him away to a monastery early in life. In 861, he became a monk. In his last years he was abbot of Montier-en-Der and Saint-Germain of Auxerre.[3]
