    Notes:

    Robert II (of France), called Robert the Pious (972-1031), king of France (996-1031), the son of King Hugh Capet, born in Orl?ans, and educated at Reims under the French scholar Gerbert, who later became Pope Sylvester II. In 996 Robert married, as his second wife, his cousin Bertha of Burgundy. Two years later Pope Gregory V excommunicated him and annulled this marriage, which was considered incestuous by the church; in 1003 Robert submitted to the pope and married the daughter of the marquis of Provence, Constance of Arles, by whom he had four sons. He recognized Hugh, the eldest of these sons, as his successor. After Hugh's death in 1025, the other sons, aided by their mother, revolted; Robert was still fighting them at the time of his own death. Robert was called The Pious because of his humility and charity; he was also esteemed as a soldier and ruler.

    BIOGRAPHY: 9th gen. desc. of Char lemagne BIOGRAPHY: Believed to have married Bertha of Burgundy, widow of count Eudes I of Chartes. If so, he probably married her after 1003 and married Constance of Toulouse about 1010. In this case, the children of Robert II are not associated with the proper mother. More research is needed here. BIOGRAPHY: King of France 996/103 1 BIOGRAPHY: Orleans- city in north central France, capitlal of Loiret Department, on the Loire River. It is a transportation and commercial center. Major manufactures include chemicals, processed foods, textiles, and machinery. Tourism is also important to the city's economy; the Sainte-Croix Cathedral, destroyed by the Huguenots (French Protestants) in 1567 and rebuilt by Henry IV and his successors, is a principal attraction. The University of Orleans is in the city.

    Robert married Constance DE ARLES in 1001. Constance (daughter of Guillaume DE PROVENCE, I, Comte de Provence and Queen of Aquitaine Adelaise D'ANJOU) was born about 973 in Tolouse, Arles, France; died on 25 Jul 1032 in Melun, Seine-Et-Marne, France; was buried after 28 Jul 1032 in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, ?le-de-France, France.

    Notes:

    In 1003 Robert submitted to the pope and married the daughter of the marquis of Provence, Constance of Arles, by whom he had four sons. He recognized Hugh, the eldest of these sons, as his successor. After Hugh's death in 1025, the other sons, aided by their mother, revolted; Robert was still fighting them at the time of his own death.

    Constance of Arles (c. 986 - 28 July 1032), also known as Constance of Provence, was a queen consort of France as the third spouse of King Robert II of France.

    Life
    Born c.?986 Constance was the daughter of William I, count of Provence and Adelaide-Blanche of Anjou, daughter of Fulk II of Anjou. She was the half-sister of Count William II of Provence. Constance was married to King Robert, after his divorce from his second wife, Bertha of Burgundy. The marriage was stormy; Bertha's family opposed her, and Constance was despised for importing her Proven?al kinfolk and customs. Robert's friend, Hugh of Beauvais, tried to convince the king to repudiate her in 1007. Possibly at her request twelve knights of her kinsman, Fulk Nerra, then murdered Beauvais.

    In 1010 Robert went to Rome, followed by his former wife Bertha, to seek permission to divorce Constance and remarry Bertha. Pope Sergius IV was not about to allow a consanguineous marriage which had been formally condemned by Pope Gregory V and Robert had already repudiated two wives. So the request was denied. After his return according to one source Robert "loved his wife more."

    In the famous trial in 1022 of members of the clergy, including Constance's previous confessor Stephen, on charges of heresy Robert had his wife Queen Constance stand at the door to prevent any mob violence. However, as the condemned clerics left the trial the queen "struck out the eye of Stephen... with the staff which she carried". This was seen as Constance venting her frustration at anyone subverting the prestige of the crown.

    At Constance's urging, her eldest son Hugh Magnus was crowned co-king alongside his father in 1017. But later Hugh demanded his parents share power with him, and rebelled against his father in 1025. Constance, however, on learning of her son's rebellion was furious with him, rebuking him at every turn. At some point Hugh was reconciled with his parents but shortly thereafter died, probably about age eighteen.

    Robert and Constance quarrelled over which of their surviving sons should inherit the throne; Robert favored their second son Henry, while Constance favored their third son, Robert. Despite his mother's protests and her support by several bishops, Henry was crowned in 1027. Constance, however, was not graceful when she didn't get her way. The ailing Fulbert, bishop of Chartres told a colleague that he could attend the ceremony "if he traveled slowly to Reims but he was too frightened of the queen to go at all".

    Constance encouraged her sons to rebel, and they began attacking and pillaging the towns and castles belonging to their father. Son Robert attacked Burgundy, the duchy he had been promised but had never received, and Henry seized Dreux. At last King Robert agreed to their demands and peace was made which lasted until the king's death.

    King Robert died on 20 July 1031. Soon afterwards Constance was at odds with both her surviving sons. Constance seized her dower lands and refused to surrender them. Henry fled to Normandy, where he received aid, weapons and soldiers from his brother Robert. He returned to besiege his mother at Poissy but Constance escaped to Pontoise. She only surrendered when Henry began the siege of Le Puiset and swore to slaughter all the inhabitants.

    Constance died 28 July 1032. and was buried beside her husband Robert at Saint-Denis Basilica.

    Notes:

    Hugh Capet (938?-996), king of France, and founder of the Capetian dynasty, son of Hugh the Great, count of Paris, whom he succeeded in 956. His lordship over many fiefs around Paris and Orl?ans made him the virtual ruler of France, and when King Louis V of France, the last of the Carolingian line, died without an heir in 987, Hugh's numerous vassals enabled him to win the election to the throne, defeating the Carolingian candidate, Charles, duke of Lorraine. Charles and many other great nobles of the realm attempted to resist his authority but, through force of arms and by judicious purchasing of allegiance, as well as through the support of the church, of which he was a devout member, Hugh established a measure of order within his kingdom. He had his son, Robert the Pious (later Robert II), elected and crowned his associate and successor in 988, thereby confirming the house of Capet, which ruled France until 1328.

    Hugues married Adelaide (Aelis) Of Poitou DE POITOU, Princess Of Aquitaine on 11 Aug 968 in Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, ?le-de-France, France.

    Notes:

    Adelheid von Aquitanien (franz?sisch Ad?la?de d'Aquitaine; * wohl 950; ? 15. Juni wohl 1004) war durch Heirat K?nigin von Frankreich und Stammmutter der Kapetinger.

    Adelheid (auch Adelais) war die einzige Tochter des Herzogs Wilhelm III. von Aquitanien und dessen Ehefrau Adela von Normandie, einer Tochter des normannischen Jarl Rollo, Graf von Rouen, und dessen zweiter Frau Poppa von Bayeux. Adelheids Bruder war der Herzog Wilhelm IV. Eisenarm (? 995/96).

    Adelheid heiratete Hugo Capet, den ?ltesten Sohn des Dux Francorum Hugos ?des Gro?en" ? gemeint ist hier ?der ?ltere" ? und dessen dritter Ehefrau Hadwig, Tochter des deutschen K?nigs Heinrich I. Die Ehe diente der Etablierung friedlicher Beziehungen zwischen den Robertinern, die ihre Machtbasis im Norden (Franzien) hatten, und den aquitanischen Herz?gen, deren Herrschaftsbereich sich zwischen Loire, Rhone und Garonne erstreckte.

    Aus der Ehe gingen vier Kinder hervor:

    Hedwig (Avoie, * wohl 969, ? nach 1013) ? um 996 Graf Reginar IV. von Hennegau und Mons (? 1013) (Reginare)
    Gisela (* wohl 970, ? um 1000) ? vor 987 Hugo I. von Montreuil, Graf von Ponthieu
    Robert II. der Fromme (* 972, ? 1031)
    Adelheid/Aelis (* wohl 973)

    Als Erzieher ihres Sohns Robert bestellte Adelheid Gerbert von Aurillac, der sp?ter als Silvester II. Papst wurde. Unter dem Einfluss seiner Mutter erhielt Robert eine streng christliche Erziehung.[7]

    An der Seite ihres Gatten wurde Adelheid wohl am 3. Juli 987 in Noyon zur K?nigin von Frankreich gekr?nt. In dieser Stellung blieb sie bis zu Hugo Capets Tod am 24. Oktober 996. Laut Gerbert von Aurillac nannte Hugo Capet sie ?Gef?hrtin und Teilhaberin unseres K?nigtums".

    Die fromme Adelheid gr?ndete die k?nigliche Kapelle (Chapelle royale oder Sainte Chapelle) und sp?tere Kirche Saint-Frambourg in Senlis. Im 17. Jahrhundert wird ihr auch die Translation der Reliquien des heiligen Frambourg zugeschrieben, die nach anderen Quellen bereits ein Jahrhundert zuvor erfolgte. Ferner stattete Adelheid die auf ihre Initiative wiedererrichtete Abbaye de femmes in Argenteuil mit zahlreichen G?tern aus. Als K?niginwitwe unterschrieb sie mehrere Urkunden ihres Sohns Robert, der nach dem Tod Hugo Capets neuer franz?sischer K?nig geworden war. Sie starb um 1004.

    Adelheid of Aquitaine (French Ad?la?de d'Aquitaine; * probably 950; ? June 15, probably 1004) was Queen of France by marriage and progenitor of the Capetians.

    Adelheid (also Adelais) was the only daughter of Duke Wilhelm III. of Aquitaine and his wife Adela of Normandy, a daughter of the Norman Jarl Rollo, Count of Rouen, and his second wife Poppa of Bayeux. Adelheid's brother was Duke Wilhelm IV Eisenarm (? 995/96).

    Adelheid married Hugo Capet, the eldest son of Dux Francorum Hugos "the Great" - meaning "the elder" - and his third wife Hadwig, daughter of the German King Heinrich I. The marriage served to establish peaceful relations between the Robertines, the had their power base in the north (Francia), and the Aquitanian dukes, whose dominions stretched between the Loire, Rhone and Garonne.

    The marriage produced four children:

    Hedwig (Avoie, * probably 969, ? after 1013) ? around 996 Count Reginar IV of Hainaut and Mons (? 1013) (Reginare)
    Gisela (* probably 970, ? around 1000) ? before 987 Hugo I of Montreuil, Count of Ponthieu
    Robert II the Pious (* 972, ? 1031)
    Adelheid/Aelis (* probably 973)

    Adelheid appointed Gerbert von Aurillac to tutor her son Robert, who later became Pope Silvester II. Under the influence of his mother, Robert received a strict Christian upbringing.[7]

    Adelheid was probably crowned Queen of France in Noyon on July 3, 987 at her husband's side. She remained in this position until Hugo Capet's death on October 24, 996. According to Gerbert von Aurillac, Hugo Capet called her "companion and partner in our kingdom".

    The pious aristocracy founded the royal chapel (Chapelle royale or Sainte Chapelle) and later the church of Saint-Frambourg in Senlis. In the 17th century, she is also credited with translating the relics of Saint Frambourg, which according to other sources took place a century earlier. Adelheid also endowed the Abbaye de femmes in Argenteuil, which had been rebuilt on her initiative, with numerous goods. As dowager queen, she signed several charters from her son Robert, who had become the new French king after the death of Hugo Capet. She died around 1004.

    William III (913 ? 3 April 963), called Towhead (French: T?te d'?toupe, Latin: Caput Stupe) from the colour of his hair, was the "Count of the Duchy of Aquitaine" from 959 and Duke of Aquitaine from 962 to his death. He was also the Count of Poitou (as William I) from 935 and Count of Auvergne from 950. The primary sources for his reign are Ademar of Chabannes, Dudo of Saint-Quentin, and William of Jumi?ges.

    William was son of Ebalus Manzer[1] and Emilienne. He was born in Poitiers. He claimed the Duchy of Aquitaine from his father's death, but the royal chancery did not recognise his ducal title until the year before his own death.

    Shortly after the death of King Rudolph in 936, he was constrained to cede some land to Hugh the Great by Louis IV. He did it with grace, but his relationship with Hugh thenceforward deteriorated. In 950, Hugh was reconciled with Louis and granted the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine. He tried to conquer Aquitaine with Louis's assistance, but William defeated them. Lothair, Louis's successor, feared the power of William. In August 955 he joined Hugh to besiege Poitiers, which resisted successfully. William, however, gave battle and was routed.

    After the death of Hugh, his son Hugh Capet was named duke of Aquitaine, but he never tried to take up his fief, as William reconciled with Lothair.

    He was given the abbey of Saint-Hilaire-le-Grand, which remained in his house after his death. He also built a library in the palace of Poitiers.

    Family background, marriage and issue

    His father was duke Ebles Manzer, who already was a man in his middle years when he was born in about 913. According to the chronicle of Ademar de Chabannes, William's wife was Geirlaug (French: Gerloc, also known as Ad?le), a daughter of Rollo of Normandy. The less reliable Dudo of Saint-Quentin has William rather than Ebles marrying Gerloc, perhaps about 936, in a match that may have been arranged by William I of Normandy.

    With Gerloc, he had at least one child whose filiation is clearly attested:

    William, his successor in Aquitaine. He abdicated to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien in Poitiers and left the government to his son.
    Many[who?] genealogies accept the high likelihood[vague] that they also had a daughter:

    Adelaide, who married Hugh Capet
    But her parentage is not reliably documented of their era and is regarded only as a good possibility by usual modern genealogical literature.

    Wilhelm Werghaupt (lat. Caput stupe, frz. T?te d'Etoupe; * um 900; ? 3. April 963) war als Wilhelm III. Herzog von Aquitanien und als Wilhelm I. Graf von Poitou, Limoges und Auvergne aus der Familie der Ramnulfiden.

    Wilhelm war der ?lteste Sohn von Ebalus Mancer, dem er nach dessen Tod 934 im Poitou nachfolgte. Wilhelm war ein Feind der Robertiner, deren Oberhaupt Hugo Magnus sich 936 Poitiers bem?chtigte. Unter Ausnutzung des Konfliktes Hugos mit K?nig Ludwig IV. dem ?berseeischen konnte Wilhelm die Stadt 938 zur?ckerobern. 942 wurde er vom K?nig zum Laienabt der Abtei von St. Hilaire ernannt, die seither im Besitz der Familie blieb.

    Seinen vorrangigsten Kampf f?hrte Wilhelm gegen den Grafen Raimund Pons von Toulouse, der ihm die Herrschaft ?ber die Auvergne streitig machte. Nach dem Tod K?nig Ludwigs IV. (954) huldigte ihm aber die Noblesse der Auvergne, 955 erlangte er die Herrschaft ?ber die Grafschaft Limoges. Seine Position als Herzog von Aquitanien war jedoch umstritten: Einerseits durch die Grafen von Toulouse, die 935 das Herzogtum von K?nig Rudolf verliehen bekamen, und vor allem durch Hugo Magnus, der seinen dominierenden Einfluss auf K?nig Lothar geltend machte und sich von diesem mit dem aquitanischen Herzogtum belehnen lie?. 955 zog Hugo Magnus mit einem k?niglichen Heer vor Poitiers und schlug Wilhelm in einer Feldschlacht. Poitiers konnte aber erfolgreich verteidigt werden. 956 starb Hugo Magnus und obwohl dessen Sohn Hugo Capet die Politik des Vaters aufnahm, sollte die Herrschaft Wilhelms in Aquitanien nicht mehr gef?hrdet werden. Erst jetzt war er unbestrittener ?Herzog der Aquitanier".

    Kurz vor seinem Tod wurde Wilhelm M?nch in der Abtei von Saint-Cyprien, wo er auch bestattet wurde.

    Wilhelm war seit 935 mit Gerloc-Adele (? nach 969) verheiratet, einer Tochter des normannischen Grafen Rollo. Sie hatten zwei Kinder:

    Wilhelm Eisenarm (* um 937; ? 995/996), Graf von Poitou (Wilhelm II.) und Herzog von Aquitanien (Wilhelm IV.)
    Adelheid (Aelis) (* wohl 950; ? 1004) 8 im Sommer 968 mit Hugo Capet, Herzog von Franzien und ab 987 K?nig von Frankreich


    William married Adele (Gerloc) Of NORMANDY on 1 Jan 935 in Lyons-la-For?t, Eure, Normandie, Fran?a. Adele (daughter of Robert Rollo ROGNAVALDSSON, 1st and Poppa Of Normandy De VALOIS, Duchess) was born about 917 in Normandie, Neustria; died in Oct 962. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
