Oaths of Strasbourg
The Oaths of Strasbourg (Modern French: les serments de Strasbourg, Modern German: die StraĂźburger Eide) is the name by which we know the pledges of allegiance taken in 842 at Strasbourg by Louis the German, son of Louis the Pious and ruler of the eastern Frankish kingdom, and by his brother Charles the Bald, ruler of the western Frankish kingdom. As well as their allegiance to each other, Louis and Charles pledged their opposition to the Emperor, their elder brother Lothair.
