Lothair I (795?-855), Holy Roman emperor (840-55), and eldest son of Holy Roman Emperor Louis I, the Pious, and grandson of Charlemagne. Lothair became co ruler with his father in 817 and was crowned by the pope six years later. He twice conspired with his brothers in revolts against their father. In 839 Lothair received the eastern part of the empire in addition to Italy, which he had received in 822. After the death of Louis I, Lothair attempted to assert his power over his brothers, but he was defeated by them at Fontenoy, France, on June 25, 841. By the Treaty of Verdun (843), the title of Holy Roman emperor was guaranteed to Lothair, together with sovereignty over Italy, Burgundy, Alsace, Lorraine, and the Low Countries. After having divided his kingdom among his three sons, Lothair retired to a monastery. His second son, sometimes called Lothair II, reigned from 855 to 869 over the kingdom of Lotharingia.
Louis I (Holy Roman Empire), called The Pious (778-840), Holy Roman emperor (814-840), king of France (814-840), king of Germany (814-840), and king of Aquitaine (781-840). He was the son and sole successor of Charlemagne. In 817 Louis made plans for an orderly succession among his sons: Lothair I, Louis II (Louis the German), and Pepin of Aquitaine. Later he wanted to include in the succession Charles II (Charles the Bald), his son by a second marriage. Dissatisfied, his older sons rebelled (830, 833) against him and fought among themselves for supremacy as well. Pepin died in 838, and in 843 the empire was divided among the three surviving brothers (see Verdun, Treaty of).spouse: Ermengarde, Princess of Hesbaye (~0778 - 0818)Funk + Wagnall's Encyclopedia

Macbeth (circa 1005-57), king of Scotland (1040-57). He was a commander for King Duncan I (his first cousin), and a chieftain of the Moray district. After murdering Duncan in 1040, Macbeth claimed the kingdom and ruled for 17 prosperous years. In 1057 he was killed in battle by Malcolm Canmore (his first cousin, once removed), a son of Duncan I who was later, as Malcolm III, king of Scotland.spouse: Fitsiward, Sybilla (1009 - 1040)Macbeth, a tragedy in five acts written by Shakespeare, is based on the career of King Macbeth. Possibly performed as early as 1606, the play was first printed in the edition of Shakespeare's works that was published in 1623 and is known as the First Folio. The principal source used by the author for this work was Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1577) by the English chronicler Raphael Holinshed. The tragedy is a penetrating, concentrated, and harrowing study of ambition. In the characters of Macbeth and his wife, Lady Macbeth, the play provides two strong roles long regarded as attractive vehicles for the leading actors of the world. Shakespeare's tragedy also provided the basis for the libretto of the opera Macbeth (1847) by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi.
