Boson II - Cte de Vienne(870/1-887), de Bourges(871/2-887) and d"Autun, King of Lower Burgundy(Provence) (879-887)

m.876 France: Ermengarde=Trungard, Princess of Italy, dau.of Louis II, King of Italy and Engelberge de Spolete; Ermengarde would become Queen of Provence through her marriage with Boson.
d.11 Jan 887 Vienne, Isere, Dauphin‚, France.

In 869, Boson II"s sister Richilde married Charles the Bald. In 871, he was made Count of Vienne, and became the Count of Bourges a year later. After arranging an exchange with Count Theudebert of Vermandois, Boson also acquired the Countship of Autun, so that his territory included most of Burgundy and Provence including the regions of the Lyonnais and Viennois. When Charles the Bald was crowned emperor in 875, he made Boson his dux et missus Italiae sacrique palatii archiminister. In other words, Boson ruled Italy for Charles, and once there took the opportunity to marry Ermengarde, daughter of Emperor Louis II. He was the King of Provence from 879 to 887, being elected at Montaille (near Vienne) on 15-Oct-879 the King of Burgundy. As soon as he was crowned, he consolidated his position, appointed the powerful bishop of Autun, Adalgar as his archchancellor, and made Geilo, Abbot of Tournus, the bishop of Langres. There was also some collusion between Boson and his Lotharingian countrymen who had rallied in support of Hugh, Lothar II"s bastard, in his attempt to claim the right to rule Lotharingia. Boson"s elevation and Hugh"s pretentions had the effect of uniting all the Carolingians - Louis the Younger (Le Jeune), Charles the Fat (Le Gros), Louis III and Carloman - and their supporters against him. Hugh was dealt with quickly, but Boson presented a more serious obstacle to Charles Le Gros as well as to Carloman and Hugh the Abbot. Charles seized the Italian lands of Boso"s mother-in-law Engelberge, kidnapped Engelberge herself, appropriated the temporal of the archbishopric of Besancon and occupied Lausanne. By 881, Boson had lost the Jura and transjurane region to Charles Le Gros. The county of Autun was conferred on Richard, Boson"s brother, who supported Carloman from then on. In 882, Vienne was attacked by the Frankish army under Richard who captured Boson"s wife and his daughter. Abandoned by the Pope, his brother and his chancellor who defected to Charles Le Gros, and forsaken by the bishops and counts, Boson died in historical obscurity.

Notes

BOSO
French BOSON (d. Jan. 11, 887, Vienne [France]), king of lower Burgundy, or Provence, from 877.

The son of Buvin (or Beuves), Count of Ardennes, Boso was given the governance of Lombardy (876) by his brother-in-law Charles II the Bald, king of the West Franks (France), and received the title of duke. During the minorities of the West Frankish kings Louis III and Carloman, he convoked the bishops of Provence and had them proclaim him their king (Oct. 15, 879). Boso thereafter proceeded to expand his domains. The territory over which he usurped royal authority included not only Provence but many lands to the north, as far as Autun--an enlarged Burgundy.

In succeeding years, especially 880-882, Boso lost many of the marginal northern lands to the French and German Carolingians, who were reestablishing their authority. He was succeeded by his son, Louis, who in 901 became the Frankish emperor Louis III.
