mythologyandhistory, 4 months ago to history Did you know that "Ludwig the #German" was kinda weird with his #kids? The #Carolingian #king Ludwig, ruled East Francia for 36 years. Within that time, he had 3 sons and 4 daughters. Unlike other kings before & at the same time, he did not give any high positions to his sons. He would eventually #marry all the #boys into advantageous alliances but forbade all daughters to do so. The 3 we know of were all made to become nuns, but seemingly, not abbesses. It's unclear why. #history
