General Notes:
No authoritative record exists of this son of Charles III, yet much circumstance supports this and his existence as grandfather to Baldric the Teuton. Some sources argue that this Charles descended from Louis IV and Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, but generations do not appear to align.
Some sources put birthplace as Courcy, Ardennes, France, but these may just be lands he inherited. His father was in prison at Peronne at his birth - so the question is where was Eadgifu. Laon is a possible location as it was seat of royalty at the time. Courcy, near Reims, is also a possible location of birth which could account for origin of the name.
Birth date by many sources is 925, however his mother Eadgifu is generally believed to have fled to England in 923 with young Louis (eventually Louis IV). This was prompted by imprisonment of Charles III in 922. Could she have returned to France? We do know that Louis was left in the care of her father Edward the Elder, king of the English, and subsequently his uncle, Aethelstan.
