Louis III (880-928), also known as Louis the Blind, was the son of Boso, usurper king of Provence, and Ermengard, daughter of Emperor Louis II, making him a Carolingian through his mother. He succeeded to his father's throne in 887, aged seven. They moved to the court of Emperor Charles the Fat, where Louis was adopted as his son. In 890, Louis was proclaimed King of Arles, Provence and Cisjurane Burgundy.
