Bernard (797 – 17 April 818) was the illegitimate son of Pepin of Italy (King of Italy) from 810 to 818. He plotted against his uncle, Emperor Louis the Pious, when the latter's Ordinatio Imperii made Bernard a vassal of his cousin Lothair. When his plot was discovered, Louis had him blinded, a procedure which killed him.
