William II, Duke of Aquitaine

Immediately after succeeding his uncle, he made war on the Burgundians and Normans, who refused to accept Rudolph as king of France.

He later revolted and Rudolph led an army into Aquitaine, but was called back to defend the Rhine from the Magyars.

In 924 the duke Raoul of Burgundy came up to the Loire river and William was forced to make his submission to him.

Upon which Raoul, relieved that such a powerful vassal accepted his suzerainty, gave him back the counties of Berry and Macon and the town of Bourges.
