Answer
Berengar I of Italy was elected by the Italian nobility in 887 to replace Charles the Fat, who had become increasingly unpopular with his subjects. Berengar had a strong claim to the throne as the son of a former king of Italy, but he also had the support of the Pope. Charles was unable to challenge Berengar's election and was forced to return to Germany.
