Charles Constatine of Vienne - was born about 0901 and died in 0963 .
He was the son of King Louis "the Blind" of Italy and Anna of Byzantium.
Charles married Teutberga of Troyes. Teutberga was born about 0895. She was the daughter of Garnier of Sens and Teutberga de Arles. She died after 0960 . Charles - Charles Constantine is the documented son of Louis the Blind. He has traditionally been called illegitimate, but this was almost solely due to his failure to inherit his father's titles, ignoring the fact that his father was not in a position to pass anything to his son, having lost all to his enemies (and friends). It is his name that caused a reevaluation of this maternity. While the name Charles harkens back to his (by this time distant) ancestor, Charlemagne, but Constantine is a novelty. While one could (and people have) derive the use of this name to the late - Carolingian classicism which caused Hugh Count of Maine to use the name David, the alternative solution is really the simplest - that this name, while having a link to antiquity, relates more immediately to Emperor Constantine, son of Leo IV, and uncle of the child(ren) of Louis and Anna - that Charles Constantine was their legitimate son.
