Another theory is that his nickname referred to his initial lack of an assigned kingdom in his youth by his father Louis the Pious, since Charles&#039; adult brothers were already ruling the different parts of the empire as sub-kings, with &quot;bald&quot; referring to Charles&#039; being &quot;landless&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
