Page "Capitulary of Quierzy" Paragraph 1

It was promulgated on June 14, 877 at Quierzy-sur-Oise in France ( département of Aisne ), the site of a Carolingian royal palatium, before a great concourse of lords.

In this document Charles takes elaborate precautions against Louis, whom he had every reason to distrust.

He forbids him to sojourn in certain palaces and in certain forests, and compels him to swear not to despoil his stepmother Richilde of her allodial lands and benefices.
