Lothair II

Lothair II was the king of Lotharingia from 855 until his death. He is known for his over ten-year-long divorce case with his wife Teutberga so that he could remarry his long-standing lover Waldrada. Lothair began a relationship with Waldrada in his adolescence. By the time of his accession in September 855, he seems to have still loved her. However, the king was forced to marry Teutberga of the Bosonids and ally with her brother Hucbert to maintain his position. Lothair put away Teutberga as Hucbert's importance waned, but after she passed a trial by ordeal he was forced to take her back. Hucbert died in revolt in 864 after being replaced in Lothair's court.
