Oh yeah, sorry I meant Eberhard. I got them confused.Arnulf was the elder son, and there is no reason for Luitpold to prefer Berthold as an heir. The troubles would come with the beginning of Eberhard's (Arnulf's son) reign.

Probably a few Anglo-Saxon or Byzantine princesses for him to get married to, lemme check.Regarding Eberhard, the question is, he never married OTL. Who could he marry ITTL?

I meant Hugh the Great's father, Robert I of France.Oops, I meant Robert I of France (the Pious), and he was a son of Hugh I (Hugh Capet), who wouldn't exist ITTL. Sorry![]()

Well then he can marry Gerberga instead of Hedwig?But we took off his wife, so his children would never exist ITTL.
