[https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carloman_(fils_de_Charles_le_Chauve)]

Carloman (c. 847 - † 877 ), son of King Charles II the Bald and his first wife Ermentrude d'Orléans .

Destined for religious life from childhood, Carloman 1 revolted in 869 against his father who had him locked up in Senlis . By order of Pope Adrian II , Charles II freed his son and forced him to follow him during his expedition against Girart de Roussillon in 870 . Carloman then abandoned his father and, with an army of deserting soldiers, sacked the regions around Reims as far as Belgium .

His father succeeded in taking him prisoner and, through Hincmar , the Archbishop of Reims , demanded the excommunication of his son. The sentence of excommunication is approved by a large majority of bishops.

In 873 , Carloman, prisoner at Senlis , was deposed from his diaconate and of any ecclesiastical degree, and reduced to lay communion, but as his supporters said that no longer being an ecclesiastical, nothing prevented him from reigning, they resolved to release him at the first opportunity. Charles II the Bald , his father, the king brought the case the same year to the Council of Senlis , had him tried again for crimes of which the bishops had not been aware and he was condemned to death. But to give him time to do penance, and to deprive him of the means to carry out his evil designs, his eyes were put out 2 and his imprisonment in Corbie .

Blind, however, Carloman managed to take refuge with his uncle Louis the German . the latter made him abbot of Echternach 3 where he died in 877 .
