Ben M. Angel notes: Robert I was never a Capet (this was a family name created by Hugh Capet, based on a place name). The name of his family or dynasty was "Robertian" (from Robert Le Fort, his father). He was to the best of my understanding never nicknamed "Le Grand". Please indicate the source you are using here if this is contrary to your information.

From the English Wikipedia page on Robert I of France: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_I_of_France with excerpts from the French Wikipedia page not included in the English article: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ier_de_France

Robert I (15 August 866 – 15 June 923), King of Western Francia (922 – 923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888.

West Francia evolved over time into France; under King Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians.

Robert was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by King Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, the March of Neustria, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles III the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen.

The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of King Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Comte Hagano had aroused some irritation (he was made into Charles' principle advisor and favorite - the French Wikipedia page suggests Hagano served merely as a pretext for a premeditated bid for power); and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles III into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims (crowned by Gautier Archbishop of Sens) on Sunday 30 June 922.

Collecting an army, Charles III marched against the usurper and, on 15 June 923, in the stubborn and sanguinary Battle of Soissons (near the city of the same name), Robert I was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival (the French Wikipedia page says this was Fulbert, Faubert, or Foubert).

(The French Wikipedia continues the story, saying that Robert's son, Hugh the Great, denied Charles III the Simple his victory, preventing him from recovering the crown of Western Francia. The nobility instead elect Raoul Duke of Burgundy, stepson of Robert I; he was consecrated on 13 July 923.)

Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis/Adele du Maine, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894–935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895–931) to Herbert II of Vermandois.

Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.

From the English Wikipedia page on the Battle of Soissons (923): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Soissons_(923)
The Battle of Soissons in 923 was a battle during which King Robert I of France was killed, possibly by King Charles III (by legend in single combat), and the latter was defeated and imprisoned by Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy who succeeded Robert I as French monarch.

French Wikipedia page on Robert I de France: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ier_de_France
Robert Ier (né vers 860 - mort le 15 juin 923[1]), fils cadet du comte d'Anjou Robert le Fort, il était le frère d'Eudes et fut élu roi de Francie occidentale en 922.

Investi du titre de duc des Francs en 892 par son frère Eudes, ce dernier le nomme à la tête de plusieurs comtés, y compris le comté de Paris et la marche de Neustrie. Robert était également abbé in commendam de plusieurs abbayes. Il ne revendiqua pas la couronne de France quand son frère mourut en 898, mais il reconnut la prétention du roi carolingien, Charles III le Simple, qui, selon Richer de Reims, le confirma duc des Francs[2],[3]. (Cette précoce titulature de "duc des Francs" reste cependant sujette à caution[4]). Robert continua à défendre le nord de la France contre les attaques des Normands.

La paix entre Charles III et Robert dura jusqu'en 921. Le clergé et les nobles s'irritèrent contre le roi Charles III qui favorisait particulièrement le comte Haganon (bien qu'il puisse s'agir d'un prétexte politique[5]).

Avec l'appui des nobles les plus puissants, Robert attaqua le roi Charles qui s'enfuit en Lorraine. Robert fut couronné roi des Francs à Reims par l'archevêque de Sens, Gautier, le dimanche 30 juin 922. Charles rassembla une armée et marcha contre Robert, et le 15 juin 923, Robert fut tué par Fulbert, Faubert, Foubert[6] au cours de la bataille de Soissons. Selon certains comme Adalbert, archevêque de Magdebourg, continuateur de la chronique de Réginon de prüm, Robert périt de la main même de Charles[7].

Grâce au courage et au sang-froid du fils de Robert, Hugues le Grand, la victoire revint au clan des Robertiens et le roi Charles III ne put récupérer sa couronne. Les grands du royaume élurent alors Raoul, duc de Bourgogne, beau-fils du roi Robert Ier, comme roi des Francs. Il fut sacré le 13 juillet 923.

D'une première épouse nommée Aélis/Adèle du Maine, Robert avait eu :

1. Adèle, mariée avant 907 à Herbert II, comte de Vermandois

Il épousa ensuite Béatrice de Vermandois, fille d'Herbert Ier, comte de Vermandois et eut de celle-ci :

1. Emma, mariée vers 918 avec Raoul, duc de Bourgogne, puis roi de France. 2. Hugues le Grand, duc des Francs, qui fut le père d'Hugues Capet. 3. Richilde.

KlENAST (op. cit., n. 12), pp. 55-58 pour les actes dits privés, et pp. 61-63 pour les diplômes royaux). Les sources narratives ici retenues sont : les Annales de Saint Vaast, celles de Flodoard, celles de Sainte Colombe de Sens et l'Histoire de l'église de Reims, en laquelle, comme on l'a déjà souligné, l'on trouve des analyses de lettres fort précieuses et, il nous semble, fidèles (voir n. 75). Enfin, il y a le groupe des lettres publiées récemment par B. Bischoff (Anecdota novissima, 1984, p. 123-137). Sur la signification de marchio, on se limitera ici à rappeler, après K. F, WERNER (La genèse des duchés en France et en Allemagne dans Nascita dell'Europa ed Europa Carolingia ... Settimane di studio..., XXVII, Spolète 1981, p. 298) que cette fonction s'applique, dès la fin IXe, plus à un regnum qu'à une marche proprement dite. Pour le sens à donner à demarchus (ou demarchio) et à trimarchio, nous avouons notre perplexité (voir, ci-dessous, à la Discussion, notre réponse à Michel Parisse) et d'autant qu'il paraît constant, à la chancellerie royale elle-même, où seul demarchus apparaît, d'intituler indifféremment, d'un diplôme à un autre, un même personnage tel Robert: demarchus (Ph. Lauer, Rec. cit. (n. 52), n° 66, pp. 148-149 -3 août 911 -) puis marchio (Ibid., n° 77, pp. 172-174 —19 juin 914 —). Le titre de trimarchio apparaît dans un acte de Robert pour Marmoutier du 31 mars 914 dont K. F. Werner a découvert un extrait dû à Dom Anselme Le Michel (Untersuchungen, op. cit. (n. 8), pp. 286-287, d'après Bibl. Nat. (Paris) ms. lat. 12875 f. 9v°). Dans son extrait, Le Michel donne l'analyse du contenu de l'acte en citant pratiquement la titulature donnée à Robert: domnus Robertus gloriosus abbas sancti Martini atque trimarchio. 90. Sauf dans des actes faux (W. Kienast (op. cit. (n. 12), pp. 55-63), ou dans des sources narratives plus tardives (voir, par exemple, la Chronique de Saint Pierre le Vif de Sens, éd. cit.

ROBERT, son of ROBERT "le Fort" Comte [de Tours], Marquis en Neustrie & his wife --- ([860]-killed in battle near Soissons 15 Jun 923).

"Rodbertum fratrem Odonis regis" is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[53].

He was installed as lay abbot of Marmoutier on the death of Hugues l’Abbé in 886[54].

He succeeded his brother in 888 as Marquis en Neustrie, and probably also as Comte de Paris, d'Orléans et de Tours. After his brother King Eudes captured Poitou in 893, he installed Robert as Comte de Poitou but the latter was expelled by Adémar, son of Comte Emenon[55].

Abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours: "Robert abbé de Saint-Martin" confirmed possessions of Saint-Martin de Tours by charter dated 30 Aug 894[56]. Eudes King of France granted the abbey of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers to the bishop of Poitiers, at the request of "marchiones…Hrobertus…atque Ademarus", by charter dated to [894][57].

After the death of his brother in 898, Robert supported Charles III King of France who seems to have confirmed Robert's position in Neustrie. "Robert abbé de Saint-Martin" restored "l´hospice de Saint-Clément" to Saint-Martin de Tours by charter dated 900[58]. He rebelled against the king in 922, triggered by the confiscation of the monastery of Chelles by King Charles from Rothilde (who was the mother-in-law of Robert's son Hugues) in favour of his favourite Haganon.

He was elected ROBERT I King of France 22 Jun 922, consecrated at Reims by Gauthier Archbishop of Sens. King Robert was killed fighting ex-King Charles, although his forces won the battle[59].

The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Rotbertus rex"[60]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Magloire records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Robertus rex"[61]. The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records that "Rotbertus rex" was killed in battle 15 Jun[62].

m firstly ---.

The name of Robert's first wife is not known. However, as King Robert's known wife Béatrix de Vermandois could not have been the mother of his daughter Adela (married to the brother of Béatrix) it is assumed that this earlier marriage is correct.

According to Europäische Stammtafeln[63], Robert's first wife was named AELIS. This may be based on the 21 May 907 donation of Rebais abbey to the church of Paris which refers to "comitis Rotberti et Adele comitisse"[64]. However, as shown below, this is more likely to refer to Robert and his daughter than his wife.

m secondly ([897]) BEATRIX de Vermandois, daughter of HERIBERT I Comte de Vermandois & his wife --- ([880/83]-after 26 Mar 931).

The Historia Francorum Senonensis records that "sororem Herberti" was the wife of "Robertus princeps" who rebelled against Charles III "le Simple" King of France[65]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that Duke Robert's wife was the sister of Héribert, by whom he had a son Hugues[66]. "Hugo rector Abbatiæ sancti Martini" names "genitoris nostri Rotberti quondam regis ac genitricis nostræ domnæ Beatricis" in his charter dated 26 Mar 931[67].

The marriage date is estimated by Werner on the assumption that the marriage accompanied the political reconciliation between Béatrix's father and Robert's uncle[68]. If the 907 donation mentioned above in fact refers to Robert's first wife, the marriage would of course have taken place after that date.

King Robert I & his first wife had one child:

1. [ADELA] (before 898-).

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "comitis Heriberti gener…Roberti" and in a later passage to the sister of "dux Hugo Cappatus" as the wife of "comitis Heriberti de Peroni, Campanie et Veromandie" but does not name her[69]. Her origin is confirmed by Flodoard naming "Hugo dux cum nepotibus suis, Heriberti filiis" in 943[70].

Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her first child in [915].

Her name is deduced as follows. The 21 May 907 donation of Rebais abbey to the church of Paris refers to "comitis Rotberti et Adele comitisse"[71]. Although this phrasing usually indicates husband and wife, Settipani suggests that the chronology of the life of King Robert's son Hugues (attested as Robert's son by his second wife Béatrix) favours his birth, and therefore his father's second marriage, well before 907, which would mean "Adele" could not have been Robert's wife. This reasoning appears based firstly on Hugues already being married in [914], and secondly on the probability of his having reached the age of majority when he was recognised as duke in 922. The 907 document is explained as referring to Robert and his elder daughter. The issue, however, is not beyond doubt, especially if the document in question was misdated.

m (before 21 May 907) HERIBERT II Comte de Vermandois, son of HERIBERT I Comte de Vermandois[-Carolingian] & his wife [Liedgardis] --- ([880]-23 Feb 943, bur Saint Quentin).

King Robert I & his [first/second] wife had one child:

2. EMMA (-2 Nov 934).

Flodoard names "Emma regis Rotberti filia" when recording that she obliged Seulf Archbishop of Reims to consecrate her as queen at Reims in 923 in the absence of her husband fighting[72]. Rodulfus Glaber names "Emmam…sororem…magni Hugonis" as wife of "Rodulfus, Richardi ducis Burgundiæ filius", suggesting that she was instrumental in persuading her brother to support her husband's accession as king[73]. "Emme nostri imperii consortis" and "Emma coniux mea" is named in the charters of "Rodolfus Francorum rex" dated 21 Jun 931 and 1 Jul 931[74].

There is no indication whether Emma was born from her father's first or second marriage.

Flodoard records the death of "Emma regina" at the end of his passage dated 934[75]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "IV Non Nov" of "domna Emma regina"[76].

m ([911/19]) RODOLPHE [Raoul] Comte de Bourgogne, son of RICHARD “le Justicier” Duke of Burgundy & his wife Adélais d’Auxerre [Welf] (-Auxerre, Yonne 15/16 Jan 936, bur Abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens).

He succeeded his father in 921 as Duke of Burgundy.

He was elected as RAOUL King of France in 13 Jul 923 at Soissons to succeed his father-in-law, consecrated by Gautier Archbishop of Sens at the Abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons.

King Robert I & his second wife had one child:

3. HUGUES ([898]-Dourdan, Essonne 16 Jun 956, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).

The Historia Francorum Senonensis names "Hugo Magnus" as son of "Robertus princeps [et] sororem Herberti"[77]. He was installed as HUGUES "le Grand" Duc des Francs in 936.

Hertig Robert av huset Capet och bror till salig kung Odo var av den starkaste Kung Karls vasaller, men han lydde bara kungen När han själv hade nytta av det. Om kung Karl förstod sig på kartan, kund han se Att Roberts valde var Lika stort som hans eget Återstående arvland: Robert var herre över Vermandois, Champagne och Anjou, därtill Greve av Paris och Chartres, Tours och Blois, Orléans och Dreux. Kung Roberts här segrade I ett slagg mot normanderna vid Soissons, Frankrike, i juni år 923, men kung Robert stupade själv i slaget.

Källa: "Normandernas Hövding" av Rune Pär Olofsson.

Robert I (född cirka 865, död 15 juni 923) var en frankisk robertingisk kung över västfrankiska riket . Son till Robert den starke, hertig av Anjou; bror till Odo, hertig av Paris.
Genom sin bror Odo erhöll Robert fler grevskap inklusive grevskapet Paris och blev också utsedd till abbot in commendam vid många kloster och Robert själv säkrade posten som hertig av frankerna, en viktig militär titel. När hans bror dog 898 gjorde inte Robert anspråk på broderns titel som kung, utan accepterade den karolingiske tronpretendenten Karl den enfaldiges överhöghet. Detta gjorde han kunde behålla sina poster och egendomar och fortsätta att bekämpa attackerna från vikingar.

Friden mellan kungen och hans mäktiga rival varade ända till 921 då Karls styre, och särkskilt hans svaghet för en viss Hagano, väckte sådan irritation hos prästerskapet och många av de mäktigaste adelsmännen att Robert tog till vapen och fördrev Karl till Lothringen. Robert kröntes till kung i Reims 28 juni 922. Karl ställde dock upp en armé och gick till motangrepp och i närheten av Soissons 15 juni 923 drabbade rivalerna samman. Robert blev dödad i striden, enligt traditionen i en kamp man mot man med sin rival.

Robert efterlämnade en son Hugo den store vars son Hugo Capet kom att överta tronen från den karolingiska ätten.

Foi representante de Odo (seu irmão) em de diversos condados, incluindo o condado de Paris, abade superior de muitas abadias, e Duque dos Francos, uma dignidade militar de importância elevada.
Não reivindicou a Coroa de França quando seu irmão morreu em 898 mas, reconhecendo a supremacia do rei carolíngio, Carlos III, o Simples, teve confirmadas as suas posses territoriais, tendo, depois, continuado a defender o norte de França dos ataques dos Normandos.

A paz entre o Rei e seu poderoso vassalo não foi perturbada seriamente até aproximadamente 921. As ações de Carlos e, em especial a sua parcialidade a favor de um tal de Hagano, despertaram-lhe alguma impopularidade e, apoiado por muitos do clérigos e por diversos dos mais poderosos nobres franceses, Roberto se fez coroar Rei francês em Reims, no dia 29 de junho de 922.

Comandando um poderoso exército, Carlos marchou de encontro ao usurpador, e no dia 15 de junho de 923, em uma batalha sanguinária perto de Soissons, Roberto foi morto, de acordo com a tradição, em combate com seu rival.

Roberto I deixou um filho, Hugo, o Grande, Duque dos francos, e seu neto, Hugo Capeto, futuro Rei da França e fundador da Dinastia dos Capetos.

Robert I of France From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert I (August 15, 866 – June 15, 923), king of West Francia (922 – 923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888. West Francia evolved over time into France; under Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians. He was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen. The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on June 29, 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper and, on June 15 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival. Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis, a descendant of Charlemagne, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894–935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895–931) to Herbert II of Vermandois. Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.

Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen.

The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on June 29, 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper and, on June 15, 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival.

Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis, a descendant of Charlemagne, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894–935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895–931) to Herbert II of Vermandois. Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.

Robert did not claim the crown on his brother's death in 898, but recognized the Carolingian king, Charles III; Robert continued to defend northern France from Norman attacks as "duke of the Franks"; about 921 he gathered support for his claim, and drove Charles into Lorraine; 06-29-922 he was crowned at Rheims and the next year faced Charles' attempt to oust him, during which "in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition, in single combat with his rival." {-Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1956 Ed., 19:346}

Robert I van Bourgondië (?, 865 - Soissons, 15 juni 923) was de jongste zoon van Robert de Sterke van Anjou en een broer van Odo I van Frankrijk.

Hij werd door Odo benoemd als hoofd van verschillende graafschappen, waaronder Parijs en Neustrië. Robert was ook abt in commendam van verschillende abdijen en verwierf het hertogdom der Franken, een belangrijke militaire graad. Robert eiste de Franse kroon niet op bij het overlijden van zijn broer in 898, maar erkende in tegendeel de aanspraken van de Karolingische vorst Karel III en bleef Noord-Frankrijk tegen de Noormannen verdedigen. De vrede tussen Karel de Eenvoudige en Robert bleef duren tot in 921. De geestelijkheid en de adel werden boos op Karel, die graaf Hagano bevoordeelde en met de hulp van de belangrijkste edelen voerde Robert een aanval uit op koning Karel III, die naar Lotharingen vluchtte en Robert werd op 30 juni 922 in Reims tot koning gekroond. Karel verzamelde nu een leger en trok tegen Robert op en op 15 juni 923 overwon hij hem en doodde hem in Soissons tijdens een duel.

Hertig Robert av huset Capet och bror till salig kung Odo var den starkaste av kung Karls vasaller, men han lydde bara kungen när han själv hade nytta av det. Om kung Karl förstod sig på kartan, kunde han se att Roberts välde var lika stort som hans eget återstående arvland: Robert var herre över Vermandois, Champagne och Anjou, därtill greve av Paris och Chartres, Tours och Blois, Orleans och Dreux. Kung Roberts här segrade i ett slag mot normanderna vid Soissons, Frankrike, i juni år 923, men kung Robert stupade själv i slaget.

Robert I (född cirka 865, död 15 juni 923) var en frankisk robertingisk kung över västfrankiska riket . Son till Robert den starke, hertig av Anjou; bror till Odo, hertig av Paris.

Genom sin bror Odo erhöll Robert fler grevskap inklusive grevskapet Paris och blev också utsedd till abbot in commendam vid många kloster och Robert själv säkrade posten som hertig av frankerna, en viktig militär titel. När hans bror dog 898 gjorde inte Robert anspråk på broderns titel som kung, utan accepterade den karolingiske tronpretendenten Karl den enfaldiges överhöghet. Detta gjorde han kunde behålla sina poster och egendomar och fortsätta att bekämpa attackerna från vikingar.

Friden mellan kungen och hans mäktiga rival varade ända till 921 då Karls styre, och särkskilt hans svaghet för en viss Hagano, väckte sådan irritation hos prästerskapet och många av de mäktigaste adelsmännen att Robert tog till vapen och fördrev Karl till Lothringen. Robert kröntes till kung i Reims 28 juni 922. Karl ställde dock upp en armé och gick till motangrepp och i närheten av Soissons 15 juni 923 drabbade rivalerna samman. Robert blev dödad i striden, enligt traditionen i en kamp man mot man med sin rival.

Robert efterlämnade en son Hugo den store vars son Hugo Capet kom att överta tronen från den karolingiska ätten

Västfrankiska riket

Västfrankiska riket, ett historiskt rike, bildat ca 843 som omfattade ungefär det område som utgör dagens Frankrike till skillnad från det östfrankiska riket som ungefär motsvarar dagens Tyskland och Österrike och blev det tysk-romerska riket.

Frankerriket har sin upprinnelse i de frankiska stammarnas landområde, och blev en tydligare statsbildning under den merovingska dynastin. Ett par århundraden utvidgade Karl den store riket avsevärt. Tre av hans sonsöner delade i fördraget i Verdun 843 riket mellan sig i det västfrankiska, östfrankiska och lotharingska (hertigdömet Lorraine) rikena. Detta fördrag ersattes år 870 av fördraget i Meerssen. Det västfrankiska riket styrdes därefter av karolingerna t o m Ludvig lättingen som fick lämna tronen till Hugo Capet som blev stamfader till den capetingska ätten. Det västfrankiska riket börjar under de närmaste århundradena att betraktas som Frankrike.

About Robert I de Neustria, King of France Robert I (866–923), King of Western Francia (922–923). Before succeeding his brother Odo as King he was the Count of Poitiers, Marquis of Neustria and Orléans and Count of Paris.

He thus secured a good landed base for expansion. He had the advantage over Baldwin I of Flanders, whose career started in much the same way, in that Herbert was a Carolingian in his own right, the grandson of Pippin, King of Italy. It was probably this that led Robert of Neustria, who aspired to enhance his family's standing, to take Herbert's daughter as his second wife, and also to marry his daughter (by his first wife) Adela to Herbert's son Herbert II, giving him the county of Meaux and possibly also Mezerais as her dowry. Herbert II, as a consequence, controlled a stretch of territory in the surroundings of Paris, in the heart of what had once been Eudes' power base.

Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894–935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895–931) to Herbert II of Vermandois. Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.

Life[edit]

Robert was born in 866 the posthumous son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888.[1] West Francia evolved over time into France;[2] under Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. Robert and Odo's family is known as the Robertians.[3]

Robert was present at the Siege of Paris in 885.[4] He was appointed by Odo as the ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys. Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; instead recognized the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple. Charles then confirmed Robert in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen. Robert defeated a large band of Norse in the Loire Valley in 921, and the defeated invaders converted to Christianity and settled near Nantes.[5]

The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on 29 June 922.[6] Robert's rule was contested by the Viking leader Rollo, who had settled in Normandy in 911 with the permission of Charles the Simple. During Robert's reign, Rollo remained loyal to Charles, who continued to contest his deposition.[5] Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper and, on 15 June 923, in a battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, but his army won the battle, and Charles was captured.[7] Charles remained a captive until his death in 929. Robert was succeeded as king by his son-in-law Rudolph, Count of Burgundy, also known as Raoul.[8]

Family[edit]

Robert's first wife was Aelis.[9] By her he had two daughters: Adele of France (c. 887–aft. March 931) to Herbert II of Vermandois[10][11]

Robert married secondly, c. 890, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois.[1] Together they had : Emma of France (894–935), married to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy[10] Hugh the Great,(898-) who was later dux Francorum.[1] Hugh was the father of Hugh Capet, King of the Franks.[12]

From the English Wikipedia page on Hugh the Great (with references to additional material on the French Wikipedia page :

Hugh the Great (898 – 16 June 956) was duke of the Franks and count of Paris, son of King Robert I of France (with Beatrice de Vermandois) and nephew of King Odo.

He was born in Paris, Ile-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987. His family is known as the Robertians.

(French Wikipedia notes that he was the Count of Paris, Marquis of Neustria 923-956, Duke of the Franks 936-956, and Comte d'Auxerre 954-956, and was a forefather of the Capets. He was sometimes called Hugh the White because of his pale complexion - he was a powerful figure in the Kingdom of West Francia.)

Hugh's first wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of England, and sister of King Athelstan. At the death of his step-brother King Rudolph (Raoul), duke of Burgundy, in January 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exception of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911.

He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer, who had followed his mother in exile to England) from the Kingdom of England in 936, but in the same year Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony (sister of d'Ogive, Louis' mother), a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda of Ringelheim, and soon quarrelled with Louis.

(He had sought an advantage over Herbert II de Vermandois in his struggle for hegemony in West Francia. Louis IV was crowned on Sunday, June 19, 936, by Artaud, Archbishop of Rheims, in the abbey church of St-Vincent de Laon, his hometown and Carolingian stronghold. A month later, July 25, 936, Louis IV gave Hugh the title of Dux Francorum, or Duke of the Franks - a title that was explained in a document from December 26 that same year in which Louis IV stated that Hugh was "in all our regina the second after us," equal to a viceroy position or a Merovingian Mayor of the Palace.)

(In July 937, he became a lay abbot of St-Germain d'Auxerre and champion of Autun, two major powers in the principality of Burgundy. He also increased his power by challenging the legitimacy of Hugh the Black to proclaim himself Prince of Burgundy, a position he thought he inherited from his brother, King Raoul. However, the young King sought to free himself of the overbearing Hugh, and took up arms to fight, joining forces with Herbert de Vermandois and William Longsword, Duke of Normandy. In 940, Louis IV was defeated near Rheims.)

Hugh even paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis. When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh, who released him in 946 only on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon (after consultation with Thibaud de Blois, and under considerable pressure from the Emperor).

(In 946, he settled the estate of Herbert de Vermandois, dividing it among his children - Hugh's nephews - and weakening the power of that dynasty.At the Synod of Ingelheim in 948, the third in a series after Verdun and Mouzon, Louis IV succeeded at getting the Archbishop of Rheims to excommunicate Hugh the Great.)

At the council of Ingelheim (948) Hugh was condemned, under pain of excommunication, to make reparation to Louis. It was not, however, until 950 that the powerful vassal became reconciled with his suzerain and restored Laon. But new difficulties arose, and peace was not finally concluded until 953.

On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned. In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy (his suzerainty over which had already been nominally recognized by Louis IV) and Aquitaine. But his expedition in 955 to take possession of Aquitaine was unsuccessful.

In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto. At Giselbert's death (8 April 956) Hugh became effective master of the duchy, but died soon afterwards, on the 16 or 17 June 956, in Dourdan.

In the Divine Comedy Dante meets the soul of Duke Hugh in Purgatory, lamenting the avarice of his descendants.

French Wikipedia:

From Raingarde, his concubine, he had Herbert or Heribert (d. 996), who became Bishop of Auxerre.

He married a daughter of Roger du Maine in 914, and then to Eadhilda or Edith of Wessex, daughter of Edward the Elder, in 926, and finally to Hedwig of Saxony (922-965) daughter of Henry I l'Oiseleur in 937, the latter of which gave him:

1. Beatrice, who married Frederic I, Comte de Bar and Duc de Haute-Lotharingie

2. Hugues Capet, King of the Franks in 987 (OUR ANCESTOR)

3. Emma, who married Richard I, Duc de Normandie

4. Otton and Eudes-Henri, ducs of Bourgogne.

HUGUES “le Grand”, son of ROBERT I King of France & his second wife Béatrix de Vermandois [Carolingian] ([898]-Dourdan, Essonne 16 Jun 956, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).

The Historia Francorum Senonensis names "Hugo Magnus" as son of "Robertus princeps [et] sororem Herberti"[78]. "Rodbertum fratrem Odonis regis, qui erat pater Hugonis postea Francorum ducus" is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[79]. Rodulfus Glaber names "Hugo filius Rotberti, Parisiorum comitis", commenting on the obscurity of his ancestry[80].

He was recognised by the king as heir to his father’s lands in 914. He declined the succession to the throne of France on the death of his father in 923, when his brother-in-law Raoul Duke of Burgundy was elected king.

Abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours: "l´abbé Hugues" granted "la ville de Mons…dans le pays de Melun" to "la reine Emma sa sœur, fille du roi Robert" by charter dated 926[81].

On the death of King Raoul, Hugues once more declined the succession, instead negotiating the return from England of the Carolingian Prince Louis, son of Charles III “le Simple”, who was his wife's nephew and whom he installed as King Louis IV.

Hugo rector Abbatiæ sancti Martini" names "genitoris nostri Rotberti quondam regis ac genitricis nostræ domnæ Beatricis" in a charter dated 26 Mar 931[82]. "Hugues abbé de Saint-Martin" donated "son alleu de Lachy…dans le comté de Meaux", inherited from "comte Aledramnus", to Tours Saint-Martin by charter dated 14 Sep 937 which names "sa femme Havis"[83].

The position of power acquired by Hugues is confirmed by the title dux francorum/Duc des Francs used in charters dated 25 Jul 936 and 25 Dec 936[84], and the king's references to him as “notre second dans tous nos royaumes”. Disputes between Hugues and the king quickly followed.

On the death of King Louis IV in 954, Hugues was confirmed as Duc des Francs. He was granted lordship over Burgundy and Aquitaine[85]. He only succeeded in subjugating the former, succeeding Duke Giselbert as Duke of Burgundy in Apr 956.

The Historia Francorum Senonensis records the death "XVI Kal Iul apud Drodingam villam" of "Hugo Magnus dux Francorum" and his burial "in basilica beati Dyonisii martiris Parisius"[86]. The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "XVI Kal Jul" of "Hugo dux Francorum"[87]. The Obituaire de Notre-Dame de Paris records the death "XV Kal Jul" of "Hugo dux Francorum"[88]. The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records the death 16 Jun of "Hugo comes"[89].

m firstly ([914]) [JUDITH] du Maine, daughter of ROGER Comte du Maine & his wife Rothilde [Carolingian] (before 900-925).

The marriage of Hugues Comte de Paris with the daughter of Roger Comte du Maine is deduced from Flodoard naming "Rothildis, amitæ suæ [regis Karoli], socrus autem Hugonis" when recording that the king deprived her of "abbatiam…Golam" [Chelles] in favour of his favourite Hagano, the context dictating that "Hugonis" was "Hugo filius Rotberti"[90]. The source which names her father has not yet been identified, but it appears reasonably certain from the sources quoted in the document MAINE that Rothilde's husband was Roger.

She is named Judith in Europäische Stammtafeln[91] but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified.

According to Settipani her name is not known[92].

m secondly ([926]) EADHILD, daughter of EDWARD I "the Elder" King of Wessex & his second wife Ælfleda (-937). At the time of the couple's betrothal, her future husband sent sumptuous gifts to King Athelstan, including spices, jewels, richly caparisoned horses, three holy relics and a gold crown[95].

m thirdly ([9 May/14 Sep] 937) HEDWIG of Germany, daughter of HEINRICH I King of Germany & his second wife Mathilde [Immedinger] ([922]-9 Jan [958 or after 965]).

Duke Hugues & his [second/third] wife had one child:

1. Beatrix (d. 23 September 1003, married Comte Frederic, Duke of Upper Lotharingia)

Duke Hugues & his third wife had four children:

1. Hugues (b. c.940, d. 24 October 996 at Villa Les Juifs, near Prasville, Eure-et-Loire, buried Eglise de l'Abbaye Royale de St-Denis, First King of France, OUR ANCESTOR)

2. Emma (b. c.943, d. after 18 March 968, married as first wife Richard I Sans Peur Comte de Normandie)

4. Eudes (Odo, b. c.948, d. 15 October 1002 at Chateau de Poilly-sur-Saone, buried Auxerre, adopted the name of Henri when becoming Duke of Burgundy, apparently different from previous brother)

Duc Hugues "le Grand" had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1):

From the Dutch Wikipedia page on Hugo de Grote:

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_de_Grote

Hugo de Grote (Fontaines-en-Sologne, 897 - Dourdan, 16 juni 956) was in zijn tijd de machtigste edelman in Frankrijk. Hij weigerde tot driemaal toe om koning te worden maar gaf er de voorkeur aan om zwakkere koningen op de troon te plaatsen en direct zijn eigen belangen te kunnen behartigen.

Hugo was de zoon van Robert I van Frankrijk en Beatrix van Vermandois. Na het overlijden van zijn vader in de Slag bij Soissons in 923, werd hem de kroon aangeboden maar Hugo weigerde en zijn zwager Rudolf I van Frankrijk werd toen tot koning gekozen. Hugo was toen markgraaf van Bretagne, graaf van Parijs, Troyes, Orléans, en lekenabt van Saint-Denis, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Marmoutier, Saint-Martin te Tours, Carmery, Villeloin. In de volgende jaren werd hij hertog van Neustrië en verwierf hij ook nog de graafschappen Autun, Auxerre, Nevers, Sens, Chalon en Mâcon. Na het kinderloos overlijden van Rudolf in 936 weigerde Hugo opnieuw de kroon maar vroeg Lodewijk IV van Frankrijk, die als kind door zijn moeder in Engeland in veiligheid was gebracht, om koning te worden. Hugo bedong voor zichzelf natuurlijk een positie van uitzonderlijke macht en invloed, onder de nieuwe koning. In 938 werd hij benoemd tot mede-hertog van Bourgondië.

Daarna kwam Hugo in conflict met Lodewijk, die probeerde een zelfstandige positie als koning te verwerven. Hugo sloot in 940 een bondgenootschap met Herbert II van Vermandois en met Willem I van Normandië, tegen Lodewijk. Ze belegerden Reims en versloegen Lodewijk toen die probeerde om de stad te ontzetten. In plaats van Lodewijk erkenden ze Otto I de Grote als koning. Uiteindelijk werd er in 942 te Visé een vrede bemiddeld door Otto en zijn zuster Gerberga van Saksen, die met Lodewijk was getrouwd. Toen de Normandiërs Lodewijk in 945 gevangennamen, droegen ze hem over aan Hugo. En die liet Lodewijk pas in 946 vrij toen die de stad Laon aan hem had afgestaan. In dat jaar gebruikte Hugo de dood van Herbert II van Vermandois om diens erfenis te versnipperen over diens kinderen, zodat geen van hen meer zo machtig zou kunnen worden als hun vader. De Universele Synode van Ingelheim dreigde Hugo in 948 met excommunicatie als hij Lodewijk niet zou compenseren. De excommunicatie is ook een korte tijd daadwerkelijk uitgesproken maar Lodewijk kreeg Laon terug en geleidlijk verzoenden Hugo en Lodewijk zich met elkaar. Na het overlijden van Lodewijk in 954 weigerde Hugo opnieuw de kroon maar steunde het regentschap van Gerberga. In ruil daarvoor werd Hugo tot hertog van Bourgondië en Aquitanië benoemd. Een expeditie naar Aquitanië om zijn gezag als hertog te vestigen mislukte, maar Bourgondië erkende hem wel als hertog.

Hugo is begraven in de abdij van Saint-Denis.

Huwelijken en kinderen

Hugo was in zijn eerste huwelijk getrouwd met Judith, dochter van Rogier van Maine. In zijn tweede huwelijk was hij getrouwd met Eadhild, een zuster van koning Athelstan van Engeland. Als derde vrouw trouwde hij 14 september 937 met Hedwig van Saksen, dochter van de Duitse koning Hendrik de Vogelaar en zuster van Otto I van Duitsland. Zij kregen de volgende kinderen:

1. Beatrix, geboren rond 938, huwde met Frederik I van Lotharingen

2. Hugo, geboren rond 940, die later onder de naam Hugo Capet Koning van Frankrijk zal worden.

3. Emma (ovl. na 968), getrouwd met Richard I van Normandië

4. Otto, geboren in 945, wordt hertog van Bourgondië en graaf van Auxerre.

5. Odo, geboren in 948, noemt zich ook wel Hendrik

Bij een minnares kreeg hij nog een zoon Herbert, die werd benoemd tot bisschop van Auxerre.

Hugh Capet var greve av Paris, Orléans, Vexin och Le Mans och hertig av Frankrike. Hugh kallas även Hugh Magnus och ska inte förväxlas med sin stora sonsons son som också är känd som Hugh "den Store" och Hugh Magnus

Hugh Capet hade tre äktenskap. De två första är det oklart i vilken ordning, var att en dotter till greven av Maine och till Edhilda, dotter till Edward the Elder, kung av England. Hugh gift tredje till Hedwig, dotter till Henry "av Sachsen", se nedan. Hugh hade en dotter, men det är osäkert i vilken hustru:

Emma av Paris (d. 962) som gifte sig i 960 till Richard (I) "The Fearless" 3: e hertig av Normandie. Obs: Weis sägs att: "Richard I" den Fearless "... M. (2) 960 Emma... DAU. Hugh Capet (se 53-20) "Hänvisningen (53-20) är för Hugh Capet (941 till 996), den första Capatian kung Frankrike och en son Hugh "den Store". Naturligtvis kan Emma inte vara en dotter till Hugh Capet (941 till 996) när hon gifte sig med 960, Weis är felaktig och hänvisningen bör (53-19) som är Hugh "den Store". Se Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, Baltimore, 1999, 121E-20 och 53-20.

Hugh Capet gift tredje circa 938 till Hedwig, dotter till Henry "av Sachsen", hertig av Sachsen, kung av Tyskland och Lorraine och hans fru St Matilda (eller Mechtilde) av Ringleheim.

Anmärkning: Den tredje äktenskap visas i 1985 fotografisk reproduktion av George Andrews Moriarty's Den Plantagenet Ancestry Kung Edward III och Drottning Phillipa sidorna 24 och 25 och i Frederick Lewis Weis, Ancestral Roots, Baltimore, 1999, 53-19.

Hugh och Hedwig hade följande barn:

Beatrice, född cirka 939 som gifte sig i 954 till Frederick, Duke of Upper Lorraine.

Hugh the Great (898 – 16 June 956) was duke of the Franks and count of Paris, son of King Robert I of France and nephew of King Odo. He was born in Paris, Ile-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987. His family is known as the Robertians.

Hugh's first wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of England, and sister of King Athelstan. At the death of Rudolph, duke of Burgundy, in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exception of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911. He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer) from the Kingdom of England in 936, but in the same year Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda of Ringelheim, and soon quarrelled with Louis.

Hugh even paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis. When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh, who released him in 946 only on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon. At the council of Ingelheim (948) Hugh was condemned, under pain of excommunication, to make reparation to Louis. It was not, however, until 950 that the powerful vassal became reconciled with his suzerain and restored Laon. But new difficulties arose, and peace was not finally concluded until 953.

On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned. In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy (his suzerainty over which had already been nominally recognized by Louis IV) and Aquitaine. But his expedition in 955 to take possession of Aquitaine was unsuccessful. In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto. At Giselbert's death (8 April 956) Hugh became effective master of the duchy, but died soon afterwards, on the 16 or 17 June 956, in Dourdan.

In the Divine Comedy Dante meets the soul of Duke Hugh in Purgatory, lamenting the avarice of his descendants.

From http://www.rpi.edu/~holmes/Hobbies/Genealogy/ps03/ps03_441.htm

Also called HUGH THE WHITE, French HUGUES LE GRAND, OR HUGUES LE BLANC, duke of the Franks, count of Paris, and progenitor of the Capetian kings of France. He was the most powerful man in the kingdom of France (West Francia) during the reign of Louis IV d'Outremer and the early years of King Lothair.

Son of a king (Robert I), father of another (Hugh Capet), and brother-in-law of three more (Rudolf of France, Athelstan of England, and Otto of Germany), Hugh possessed such vast territories that he could easily have assumed the crown on the death of Rudolf in 936. Preferring to work from behind the throne, he instead suggested the accession of Louis IV, son of the deposed Charles III the Simple. Louis proved no puppet, however, and his reign saw an almost constant struggle between King and Duke in which all the great magnates of France, Otto I of Germany, and the dukes of Lorraine were at one time or another involved. In 945 Louis fell into Hugh's hands and was incarcerated for a year before pressure from abroad and public opinion at home brought his release. Excommunicated by French and German councils and by the Pope, Hugh finally submitted to Louis in 951.

On the death of the King three years later, Hugh again turned down the opportunity to become king, plumping instead for Louis's young son, Lothair; but for his last two years Hugh was effectively the ruler of France

Hugh was one of the founders of the Capetian House in France. He ruled Burgundy and the heartland of France. He is buried at St. Denis. His title was Count of Paris, Orleans, Vexin and Le Mans, Duke of France ("The White Duke").

Hugo, o Grande (895 — 19 de Junho de 956) foi duque dos francos e conde de Paris. Era filho do segundo casamento do rei Roberto I da França, com Beatriz de Vermandois, e sobrinho do rei Odo. Seu filho mais velho, Hugo Capeto, tornar-se-ia rei da França em 987. Sua família é conhecida como os Robertinos.

Em 923, quando seu pai morreu, Hugo recusou o trono da França, sendo seu cunhado, Raul, duque da Borgonha, eleito rei. Quando este faleceu, em 936, Hugo era dono de quase toda a região entre o Loire e o Sena, a área da antiga Nêustria, com exceção do território cedido aos normandos, em 911. Recusando-se a suceder ao trono novamente, empenhou-se em trazer Luís IV de volta da Inglaterra. Todavia, ele e o novo rei logo vieram a se desentender, e Hugo chegou até a prestas homenagem a Oto I, imperador desde 936, e o apoiou na contenda com Luís. Quando este caiu nas mãos dos normandos, em 945, ele foi entregue a Hugo, que o libertou, em 946, porém, sob a condição de que lhe fosse dada a fortaleza de Laon. No conselho de Ingelheim, dois anos depois, Hugo foi condenado sob pena de excomunhão como reparação para Luís. Apenas em 950 que o poderoso vassalo reconciliou-se com seu suserano, devolvendo-lhe Laon. Mas novas dificuldades surgiram, e as negociações de paz só se concluíram em 953.

À morte de Luís, em 954, Hugo foi o primeiro a reconhecer Lotário como o sucessor, e, por intermédio da rainha Gergerga, foi instrumental para sua coroação. Em reconhecimento por seu serviço, Hugo foi investido pelo novo rei com os ducados da Borgonha (sua soberania sobre a qual já fora nominalmente reconhecida por Luís IV) e da Aquitânia. Todavia, sua expedição para tomar posse da Aquitânia, em 955, fracassou. No mesmo ano, Gilberto,duque da Borgonha, reconheceu a suserania de Hugo, e deu a filha em casamento ao Oto, filho de Hugo. À morte de Gilberto, em abril de 956, Hugo se tornou o mestre efetivo do ducado, mas ele próprio morreu logo depois, em Dourdan.

Casou por 3 vezes, a primeira em 922 com Judite do Maine, filha de Roger do Maine, de quem não teve filhos.

O segundo casamento foi em 926 com Edhilda de Inglaterra, filha do rei Eduardo, o Velho, de quem igualmente não teve filhos.

O terceiro casamento aconteceu em 937 com Hedwige da Saxônia (filha de Henrique I da Germânia "o Passarinheiro" e sua segunda esposa Matilde de Ringelheim "Santa Matilde"), de quem teve 5 filhos:

Beatriz da França (939 —?), casada com Frederico I, duque da Alta-Lorena.
Hugo I, rei da França (895 — 16 de Junho de 956), mais conhecido como "Hugo Capeto", casou com Adelaide da Aquitânia.
Ema de Paris (943 — 966), casou-se em 960 com Ricardo I, Duque da Normandia, de quem foi a primeira esposa. Não tiveram filhos.
Otão de França, duque da Borgonha (945 —?), casou com Luitegarda de Borgonha.
Odo-Henrique, Duque da Borgonha, "o Grande", duque da Baixa Borgonha (946 — 1002), casou primeira vez com Gerberga de Chalon (ou Mâcon), casou segunda vez com Gersenda da Gasconha e casou terceira vez com Matilde de Chalon, Senhora de Donzy.
Fora do casamento, foi pai de:

Hugh the Great (898 – 16 June 956) was the Duke of the Franks and Count of Paris.
He was the son of King Robert I of France and Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I, Count of Vermandois.[1] He was born in Paris, Île-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987.[2] His family is known as the Robertians.[3]

In 922 the barons of western Francia, after revolting against the Carolingian king Charles the Simple (who fled his kingdom under their onslaught), elected Robert I, Hugh's father, as King of Western Francia.[4] At the death of Robert I, in battle at Soissons in 923, Hugh refused the crown and it went to his brother-in-law, Rudolph of France.[4] Charles, however, sought help in regaining his crown from his cousin Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, who instead of helping the king imprisoned him.[4] Herbert then used his prisoner as an advantage in pressing his own ambitions, using the threat of releasing the king up until Charles' death in 929.[5] From then on Herbert II of Vermandois struggled with king Rudolph and his vassal Hugh the Great.[4] Finally Rudolph and Herbert II came to an agreement in 935.[4]

At the death of Rudolph, King of Western Francia, in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all of the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exceptions of Anjou and of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911.[6] He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer) from the Kingdom of England in 936.[7] In 937 Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda of Ringelheim, and soon quarrelled with Louis.[8]

In 938 King Louis IV began attacking fortresses and lands formerly held by members of his family, some held by Herbert II of Vermandois.[9] In 939 king Louis attacked Hugh the Great and William I, Duke of Normandy, after which a truce was concluded lasting until June.[10] That same year Hugh, along with Herbert II of Vermandois, Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and Duke William Longsword paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis.[11] When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh in exchange for their young duke Richard.[12] Hugh released Louis IV in 946 on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon.[13] In 948 at a church council at Ingelheim the bishops, all but two being from Germany, condemned and excommunicated Hugh in absentia, and returned Archbishop Artauld to his see at Reims.[14] Hugh's response was to attack Soissons and Reims while the excommunication was repeated by a council at Trier.[14] Hugh finally relented and made peace with Louis IV, the church and his brother-in-law Otto the Great.[14]

On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned.[14] In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine.[15] In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto-Henry.[15] On 16 June 956 Hugh the Great died in Dourdan.[1]

Family[edit]

Hugh married first, in 922, Judith, daughter of Roger Comte du Maine & his wife Rothilde.[1] She died childless in 925.[1]

Hugh's second wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons, and sister of King Æthelstan.[1] They married in 926 and she died in 938, childless.[1]

Hugh's third wife was Hedwig of Saxony, daughter of Henry the Fowler and Matilda of Ringelheim She and Hugh had: Beatrice married Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine.[a][1] Hugh Capet.[16] Emma.(c. 943-aft. 968).[16] Otto, Duke of Burgundy, a minor in 956.[15] Odo-Henry I, Duke of Burgundy (d. 1002).[15]

Biography
He was the son of King Robert I of France and Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I, Count of Vermandois.[2] He was born in Paris, Île-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987.[3] His family is known as the Robertians.[4]

In 922 the barons of western Francia, after revolting against the Carolingian king Charles the Simple (who fled his kingdom under their onslaught), elected Robert I, Hugh's father, as King of Western Francia.[5] At the death of Robert I, in battle at Soissons in 923, Hugh refused the crown and it went to his brother-in-law, Rudolph of France.[5] Charles, however, sought help in regaining his crown from his cousin Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, who instead of helping the king imprisoned him.[5] Herbert then used his prisoner as an advantage in pressing his own ambitions, using the threat of releasing the king up until Charles' death in 929.[6] From then on Herbert II of Vermandois struggled with king Rudolph and his vassal Hugh the Great.[5] Finally Rudolph and Herbert II came to an agreement in 935.[5]

At the death of Rudolph in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all of the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exceptions of Anjou and of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911.[7] He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (d'Outremer) from the Kingdom of England in 936.[8] In 937 Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda, and soon quarrelled with Louis.[9]

In 938 King Louis IV began attacking fortresses and lands formerly held by members of his family, some held by Herbert II of Vermandois.[10] In 939 king Louis attacked Hugh the Great and William I, Duke of Normandy, after which a truce was concluded, lasting until June.[11] That same year Hugh, along with Herbert II of Vermandois, Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and Duke William Longsword paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis.[12] When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh in exchange for their young duke Richard.[13] Hugh released Louis IV in 946 on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon.[14] In 948 at a church council at Ingelheim the bishops, all but two being from Germany, condemned and excommunicated Hugh in absentia, and returned Archbishop Artauld to his See at Reims.[15] Hugh's response was to attack Soissons and Reims while the excommunication was repeated by a council at Trier.[15] Hugh finally relented and made peace with Louis IV, the church and his brother-in-law Otto the Great.[15]

On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned.[15] In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine.[16] In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto-Henry.[16] On 16 June 956 Hugh the Great died in Dourdan.[2]

Family
Hugh married first, in 922, Judith, daughter of Roger, Count of Maine, and his wife Rothilde, a daughter of Emperor Charles the Bald.[2] She died childless in 925.[2]

Hugh's second wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons, and sister of King Æthelstan.[2] They married in 926 and she died in 938, childless.[2]

Hugh's third wife was Hedwig of Saxony, daughter of Henry the Fowler and Matilda. She and Hugh had:

Beatrice married Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine.[a][2]
Hugh Capet(c. 939-997)[17]
Emma (c. 943-aft. 968).[17]
Otto, Duke of Burgundy, a minor in 956.[16]
Odo-Henry I, Duke of Burgundy (d. 1002)[16]
