abstract
| - Louis was born in Chasseneuil-du-Poitou in the year 778 to Charlemagne and Hildegarde. Following Charlemagne's war with Aquitaine, he placed Louis in charge of the subkingdom in the year 781 with regnants. As he grew up in Aquitaine, he learned how to rule a kingdom and fight in wars, though he was known for being very devout and loyal to the Christian Church, ergo the nickname 'Pious'. As he aged and made decisions for himself as king, he was placed in charge of more things. When Charlemagne invaded Barcelona, Louis was placed in charge of the area until it was retaken by the Umayyad Caliphate. In order to take it back, he besieged the city for two years until it finally surrendered. In accordance with Frankish tradition, Charlemagne had prepared to split his kingdom among his sons before he died. Many of them, however, died before Charlemagne had. By the time Charlemagne had died, his only remaining sons were Louis I and Pepin.
