Biography
In February 819, in Aachen, Judith married Louis I the Pious and became Empress of the West . They had two children: Gisela ( 820 - July 5, 874 ), the wife of Margrave Friul Eberhard , and Charles II Lysy ( June 13, 823 - October 6, 877 ), the future king of the West Frankish kingdom ( France ).
Judith obtained from her husband that in 829 her son Karl received part of the kingdom along with his three half-brothers, the sons of Louis the Pious from his first marriage. This caused a civil war between Louis and his sons. The rebels managed to temporarily imprison Judith in the monastery of Poitiers on charges of adultery ( 830 ). From 833 to 834, she was in exile in Torton .
Judith was the first representative of the Senior Welfare House, who played a prominent role in the Frankish kingdom . Coincidentally, or with the active participation of the empress after her marriage to Louis, Judith's mother and both her brothers, Rudolph I (Count of Pontier) and Conrad I Old , received important posts in the kingdom. In 827, her sister Emma of Bavaria married Louis the German , the son of Louis the Pious from his first marriage.
Judith is buried in the monastery of St. Martin in Tours .
