Arnulf of Sens
Arnulf of Sens (c.794 – April, 841) was a Frankish noble, an illegitimate son of the Louis the Pious,[1] son of Charlemagne. He had one sister, Alpaïs de Paris,[1] abbess of St-Pierre de Reims. In 794 Arnulf's mother Theodelinde of Sens died. His grandfather Charlemagne died in 814, and Arnulf's father Louis became Emperor. Three years later in 817, Arnulf, was appointed count of Sens in Burgundy. He was the first son of Louis the Pious, but he did not inherit land because his birth was illegitimate. In April 841, a year after his father had died, he died at Sens.
