About this person
In March 888, he was crowned as king in the southern Lotharingian city of Langres, but soon returned to Italy in order to claim that realm. His main opponent in Lombardy was king Berengar I, who claimed the rule over Italy since late 887. During the second half of 888, Guy gained control over much of northern and central Italy. In 889, he was crowned King of Italy in Pavia, by the Pope Stephen V. In 891, the same pope crowned him Emperor in Rome, and also crowned Guy's son and co-ruler Lambert as King of Italy. In 892, Guy also secured the imperial title for Lambert, who was crowned co-emperor by the Pope Formosus in Ravenna. Guy died in 894, and was succeeded by Lambert.
