Louis V (26 February 967 — 22 May 987) nicknamed the Do-Nothing (French: le Fainéant) was the King of West Francia from 986 until his death a year later in 987. Unlike his father, Louis was an unpopular, ineffective, and an unsuccessful ruler. During his reign, the nobles ruled the country and that their power increased as Louis was not interested in ruling.
