Louis the Blind was king in Provence and Lower Burgundy from 890 to 928, king of Italy from 900 to 905, and emperor, styled Louis III, from 901 to 905. The son of King Boso of the Bosonid family and Ermengard, the only child of Emperor Louis II, he was blinded in 905 after losing Italy and retreated to his remaining domains in Provence and Lower Burgundy; historians generally style him King of Provence or King of Burgundy.
