See also:NITHARD (d. 844) , Frankish historian, was the illegitimate son of See also:Angilbert, the friend of See also:Charlemagne, by Bertha, a daughter of the See also:great See also:emperor. He was educated at the imperial See also:court and became See also:- ABBOT (from the Hebrew ab, a father, through the Syriac abba, Lat. abbas, gen. abbatis, O.E. abbad, fr. late Lat. form abbad-em changed in 13th century under influence of the Lat. form to abbat, used alternatively till the end of the 17th century; Ger.

abbot of St Riquier in commendam, never taking the vows. Little else is known about his See also:life, but he appears to have served his See also:cousin, See also:Charles the Bald, on peaceful errands and also on the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field of See also:battle. He fought for Charles at See also:Fontenoy in See also:June 841, and died as the result of wounds received whilst fighting for him against the Northmen near See also:Angouleme. The date of his See also:death was probably the 14th of June 844. In the 11th See also:century his See also:body? with the fatal See also:wound still visible, was found in the See also:grave of his See also:father, Angilbert. Nithard's See also:historical See also:work consists of four books on the See also:history of the Carolingian See also:empire under the turbulent sons of the emperor See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis I., especially during the troubled See also:period between 84o and 843. This Historiae or De dissensionibus filiorum Ludovici pii is valuable for the See also:light which it throws upon the causes which led to the disintegration of the Carolingian empire. Although rough in See also:style, See also:partisan in See also:character and sometimes incorrect in detail, the books are the work of a See also:man who had an intimate knowledge of the events which he relates, who possessed a clear and virile mind, and who above all was not a recluse but a man of See also:action. They are dedicated to Charles the Bald, at whose See also:request they were written.
The Historiae has been printed several times. Perhaps the best edition is in See also:Band ii. of the Monumenta Germaniae historic¢. Scriptores; it has also been edited by A. Holder (See also:Freiburg, 1882). It has been translated into See also:German by J. von Jasmund (See also:Berlin, 1851; new edition by W. See also:Wattenbach, See also:Leipzig, 1889) ; and into See also:French in tome iii. of See also:Guizot's Collection See also:des memoires (See also:Paris, 1824).
