As a child, Charles was prevented from succeeding to the throne at the time of the death in 884 of his half-brother Carloman or at the timeCharles the Fat was deposed in 887 after he had succeeded Carloman.Instead, Odo, Count of Paris, succeeded Charles the Fat. Nonetheless,Charles became king at the death of Odo in 898.
The kingdom of Charles the Simple was similar to today's France, but he was obliged to concede what would become known as Normandy to theNorsemen.
In 922 some of the barons (including Herbert II of Vermandois) revolted and crowned Robert I, brother of Odo, king. In 923, at the battle ofSoissons, King Robert was killed, but Charles was also defeated. Rudolph,Duke of Burgundy was elected king, and Charles was imprisoned.
