illeg son of Charles III [Ref: exet0133 SGM 9/24/1996]

Charles the Fat had no legitimate issue by his wife Richarde (Rigardis etc), but did have by a concubine an illegitimate son called Bernard (Annals of Fulda 885). In 885 he tried to have this son recognised as his heir but there was too much opposition even from his own bishops and the attempt was shelved. He may have revived this project in 887. Bernard rebelled against Arnulf of Carinthia in Alemannia in 890 and was supported by Ulrich (Odalric etc) Ct of linzgau & Argengau along with Bernard abt of St.Gallen. This rebellion was put down, but unrest continued until Bernard was killed by Duke Rudolf of Rhaetia in 891 or 892 (M.Borgolte, Die Grafen Alemanniens im Merowingischer und karolingischer zeit, 1986, p226-7, p263; T.Reuter Germany in the Early Midlle Ages, 1992).
