Notes:

Robert was born in 866 as the posthumous son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who was elected king of West Francia in 888. In time West Francia evolved into the Kingdom of France; and under Odo, the royal capital was fixed in Paris. Robert and Odo came from the Robertian dynasty out of which the Capetian dynasty grew.

In 885 Robert participated in the defence of Paris during the Viking siege of Paris. 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 recognizing 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 Vikings. Robert defeated a large band of Vikings in the Loire Valley in 921, after which the defeated invaders converted to Christianity and settled near Nantes.

The peace between King Charles the Simple and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921 when Charles' favoritism towards Hagano aroused rebellion. Supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lotharingia, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on 29 June 922.

Robert's rule was contested by the Viking leader Rollo, who had settled in the Duchy of 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. Gathering an army, Charles marched against Robert, and on 15 June 923 at the Battle of Soissons Robert was killed. However, his army won the battle and Charles was captured. 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

Robert married Beatrice DE VERMANDOIS in 890. Beatrice (daughter of Herbert I, Count Of Vermandois and Miss, Princess Of France) was born about 880 in Of Vermandois, Normandy, France; died in Mar 931. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIOGRAPHY: Louis I (Holy Roman Empire), called 'The Pious' (778-840). He was the son and sole successor of Charlemagne. In 817 Louis made plans for an orderly succession among his sons: Lothair I, Louis II (Louis the German), and Pepin of Aquitaine. Later he wanted to include in the succession Charles II (Charles the Bald), his son by a second marriage. Dissatisfied, his older sons rebelled (830, 833) against him and fought among themselves for supremacy as well. Pepin died in 838, and in 843 the empire was divided among the three surviving brothers (see Verdun, Treaty of), Microsoft Encarta 98 Encyclopedia. Alias: Louis the /Pious/, Ludwig the Pious Custom Field:<_FA#> BET. 781 - 814King of Aquitaine Custom Field:<_FA#> BET. 814 - 840King of Franks/Franki sh Emperor Louis was crowned king of Aquitaine in 781 to slow rebellion after Charlemagne's defeat in Spain by the Saracen Moslems. In 793, the Saracens in vaded Aquitaine under Caliph Hisham. In 795, the Spanish March was created wi th William as its Count. The next year, King Louis and Count William defeated the Saracens and secured the Frankish-held areas of northeast Spain. The con tinued to fight the Saracens until 813 when all of Navarre was conquered by Wi lliam and Louis. In 806, Charlemagne wrote in his will that his sons Louis, Cha rles, and Pepin would divide the Empire on his death. Pepin died in 810 and Charles followed in 811. By 813, Byzantine nobles came to Charlemagne to reco gnize him as Emperor (he was 69 years old), and so he ordered Louis to come fr om Aquitaine to be crowned co-Emperor and designated successor. When Charlema gne died in 814, Louis succeeded to all thrones. Louis put his son, Pepin, on t he throne of Aquitaine, made Lothar co-Emperor, and made his son, Louis, king of Bavaria. Louis "the Pious" first reformed the court in a "moral purge" by sending all of the unmarried princesses to nunneries and sending Charlemagne's three illegitimate sons to monasteries. He then put down a rebellion in Ita ly. When his wife, Irmengard/Ermengard, died, he remarried "Black Judith" of the Alamanic race of the Welfs. He'd already made his three sons, Pepin, Loui s, and Lothar his successors. However, when his son, Charles, was born in 823 , he tried desperately to include him in the succession. In 829, he dropped L othar's imperial title as co-Emperor and sent him off to Italy. The next year , the three brothers united and attacked their father, forcing him to abdicate . They demanded that Lothar be given back his imperial title and they sent Ju dith off to a nunnery. By 831, however, Louis the Pious managed to regain his power, bring back his wife, drop Lothar completely from his will and replace him with Charles, and refused to allow Lothar to ever return to court without permission. That same year, Pepin of Aquitaine revolted on his own and Louis o f Bavaria followed the next year. Emperor Louis declared that Pepin was form ally deposed of his titles, but he could not enforce this order. In 833, the three brothers gained support from Pope Gregory IV and many of the Emperor's o wn generals. Lothar made a settlement; Louis and Charles were imprisoned; Jud ith was sent in exile to Italy under the eye of Lother; Louis of Bavaria and P epin of Aquitaine were to gain territory that was formally under imperial auth ority. By 834 Pepin and Louis released their father and brother from jail, Ju dith was brought back, and peace was made. In 835, Louis was re-crowned with great pomp. Pepin died in 838 and Louis put Charles on the throne of Aquitaine. The nobles, however, put Pepin's son, Pepin II, on the throne. Neither Cha rles nor Pepin II held authority. Louis the Pious died in 840 and a civil war ensued over the Empire's division that lasted until peace was finally made in 843.

Louis married Princess Ermengarde DE HESBANIA, Empress, Hre in Feb 798 in , France. Ermengarde (daughter of Count Ingerman DE HESBAYE and HESBAYE, Duchess Of Hesbaye) was born about 778 in Of Hesbaye, Liege, Belgium, Belgium; died on 3 Oct 818 in Angers, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
