The Treaty of Mersen was an agreement of the division of the
Carolingian Empire by the surviving sons of Louis I, Charles II of
the West Franks and Louis the German of the East Franks, signed at
the town of Meerssen, which is now in the Netherlands. The treaty
replaced the Treaty of Verdun of 843. The Kingdom of Lotharingia
was divided between Charles II and Louis the German.
