LOUIS V
967 - 987
According to
Carolingian tradition, Louis V too had a nickname. His was,
in French, Louis le Fainéant, or Louis the Do-Nothing,
Louis the Sluggard. Which kind of explained why he was to
become the last of the Carolingian rulers.
Louis V ruled 986 - 987, which wasn't
much but his father
Lothair had him already crowned in 979.
So at least Louis had some good time anticipating it.
Louis V died and
Hugh Capet, not
a Carolingian, was elected king of France by the nobles.
