In 922 some of the barons (including Herbert II of Vermandois [also a direct ancestor - jmh]) revolted and crowned Robert I, [also a direct ancestor - jmh] brother of Odo, king. In 923, at the battle of Soissons, King Robert was killed, but Charles was also defeated. Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy was elected king, and Charles was imprisoned.
