When Charles the Bald retired, he divided his kingdom among his three sons according to the Frankish tradition of partitioning lands. He granted his eldest son, Louis the Stammerer, the western part of the realm, while his other two sons, Lothair and Charles the Bald, received portions of the kingdom as well. This division aimed to ensure that each son had a stake in the governance, but it ultimately led to fragmentation and conflict within the Carolingian Empire. The practice of dividing kingdoms among heirs was a common source of strife in medieval Europe.
