232. | Amaury von Hennegau was born about 920 (son of Graf Renigar II von Hennegau and Adelheid de Bourgogne); died in 973. Notes:
nicht im Brandenburg
BE1883 (Montfort) reports that the first Almaric/Amaury/Aymer of Montfort was an illegitimate son of Robert, King of France.
The only Kings Robert of France at or before this period were the Robert I (grandfather of Hugh Capet) who died in 923 and Robert II 'the Pious' (son of Hugh Capet) who lived 972-1031.
The article in BE1883 says that this Almaric, son of King Robert, was great-grandfather of the Simon who married Amicia de Beaumont but gives no dates for any of the family until that Simon.
As BE1883 appears to miss out some generations, we follow 'The Complete Peerage' (TCP).
As the dates given in TCP are broadly consistent with other sources, and as the dates found in various web sites suggest that the first Amaury de Montfort was born about 935, we believe that the first Amaury here reported could not have been a son of a King Robert of France.
It is possible that he was a grandson of King Robert I but that has not been proved.
Amaury married Judith de Cambray about 0952. Judith (daughter of Isaac de Valencienne and Berthe de Cambrai) was born in 920; died in 982. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Roy Hugues Capet was born about 941 in Paris, Île-de-France, France (son of Hugues de France, 'le Grand' and Hedwige von Sachsen); died on 24 Oct 996 in Les Juifs nr Chartres. Notes:
THE DIRECT CAPETIAN LINE
The election of Hugh Capet to the throne of France in 987 A.D. marked the birth of a long dynasty which reigned over France through direct or indirect succession for more than eight centuries, until 1848, with a short break between 1792 and 1814.
The direct Capetian line reigned from 987 A.D. to 1328, with fifteen kings in 341 years. Among the most outstanding figures were Philip II Augustus (1180-1223), St. Louis (1226-1270) or Philip IV the Fair (1285-1314). The idea of hereditary transmission of the crown based on male primogeniture gradually gained ground.
From 987 A.D. to 1316, thirteen kings succeeded each other, with sons succeeding their fathers, from Hugh Capet down to John I the Posthumous. All of them worked along the same lines and gave the dynasty a solid foundation. Their aim was to impose their authority on leading feudal lords, extend the royal estates and combat foreign powers.
In 1316, the question of succession was posed for the first time, after the death of John I the Posthumous since the child-king died only a few days after he was born. It was his uncle, Philip V the Long, who mounted the throne. Again, in 1322, when he died without leaving a male heir, it was his brother, Charles IV the Fair, the last surviving son of Philip IV the Fair, who became king. Salic Law was applied, even if not formally expressed as such until later, excluding women from any succession to the throne.
In 1328, the death of Charles IV the Fair and the lack of a male heir marked the end of the direct Capetian dynasty and the crown passed to the Valois line.
King of France (987-996).
Hugh Capet was the grandson of Robert I and the son of Hugh the Great whom he succeeded as Duke of the Franks in 960 A.D. The rise to power of his family, the Robertians, was somewhat slowed by the recovery of the Carolingian dynasty under Kings Lothar and Louis V the Lazy. Before 970 A.D, Hugh married Adelaide, daughter of William III, Count of Poitiers. When Louis V died without leaving an heir, in 987 A.D, Hugh I Capet was elected King of France by the country's leading noblemen, thanks to the support of the Roman Catholic Church and, in particular, Archbishop Adalberon of Reims. This assembly chose Hugh in preference to Duke Charles of Lower Lorraine, brother of King Lothar and heir of the Carolingian dynasty. Hugh Capet had his son Robert crowned in 987 A.D, thereby ensuring the continuity of his line and marking the beginning of the Capetian reign. However, he owned only a very small territory in the Paris Basin and he struggled to impose his will on leading feudal lords, especially Charles of Lorraine, his Carolingian rival who had been proclaimed king by his supporters. Eventually, Charles was handed over and imprisoned, in 991 A.D. During Hugh Capet's reign, a succession of councils of bishops decreed the Peace of God in an attempt to counteract the devastation caused by feudal warfare. When Hugh Capet died in 996 A.D, he was succeeded by his son, Robert II the Pious.

Roy Robert II Capet, "le Pieux" was born on 27 Mar 972 in Orléans, France (son of Roy Hugues Capet and Adela (Aelis) de Poitou); died on 20 Jul 1031 in Meulan, Aquitaine; was buried in St. Denis. Notes:
King of France (996-1031).
Robert, Hugh Capet's son, was crowned in 987 A.D. and involved in affairs of State from then on. He succeeded his father in 996. The beginning of his reign was marked by serious conflict with the papacy. Robert II the Pious married Rosala of Provence in 988 A.D. but repudiated her in the following year. He then remarried, with Bertha of Burgundy, in 996 A.D. Pope Gregory V excommunicated him on grounds of consanguinity and the king, despite strong resistance that lasted for four years, was eventually forced to submit to papal will. He left Bertha of Burgundy in 1001 and married Constance of Aries c. 1003 after his first wife had become a nun. During his reign, Robert the Pious was forced, like his father, to combat the feudal lords. From 1002 to 1016, he fought to enforce his claims to the duchy of Burgundy after the Duke's death. He also brought the counties of Paris and Melun under the authority of the Crown. A succession of meetings proclaimed the Peace of God, but in vain. In 1017, King Robert involved his eldest son, Hugh, in affairs of State then, after Hugh's death in 1025, brought his second son, Henri, closer to the throne, having him crowned in 1027. The end of Robert II the Pious' reign was marked by a revolt on the part of his two sons. He died in 1031 and was succeeded by his son, Henri I.
********************************
Robert II. der Fromme erhielt an der Reimser Kathedralschule unter Gerbert von Aurillac eine profunde Ausbildung, die ihn an den geistig-geistlichen Auseinandersetzungen der Zeit teilhaben ließ. Nach seiner Königswahl betrieb Roberts Vater Hugo Capet gegen adligen du klerikalen Widerstand, angeblich mit Hinweis auf einen bevorstehenden Spanienfeldzug, die Erhebung Roberts des Frommen zum Mitkönig und damit die Sicherung der dynastischen Sukzession (Dezember 987 in Orleans, Weihe durch Ebf. Adalbero von Reims). Wie sein Vater regierte Robert in der Kontinuität der karolingischen Amtsvorgänger, auch wenn vielfältige Legitimationsformeln in den Urkunden den Versuch der Neuorientierung verraten. Roberts Eheschließungen verknüpften wichtige Adeslverbände mit der Monarchie, führten aber auch zu heftig widerstreitenden Einflußnahmen bei Hof: Nach dem offenbar nicht ernsthaft verfolgten Projekt einer Ehe mit einer byzantinischen Prinzessin heiratete Robert II. der Fromme 988 Rozala-Susanna (Tochter Kg. Berengars II. von Italien, Witwe Gf. Arnulfs von Flandern) und band (bis Trennung 992) damit den Grafen von Flandern an sich. 996 folgte mit einer 2. Ehe mit Bertha von Burgund, der Witwe Gf. Odos I. von Blois, die Zuwendung zum Haus BLOIS; wegen enger Verwandtschaft führte die Verbindung zu scharfen Reaktioen der Kirche und 1003/04 zur zeitweisen Trennung. Aus der 1004/05 mit Konstanze von Arles geschlossenen 3. Ehe, die den kapetingischen Hof südfranzösischen Einflüssen öffnete, gingen mehrere Kinder hervor.t und in engem Kontakt zum cluniazensischen Reformmönchtum, sorgte Robert II. der Fromme als alleiniger Herrscher 997 für eine Beilegung des Reimser Schismas. Die vom Kg. angestrebte Konsolidierung (Einsetzung von praepositi) und Erweiterung der Krondomäne glückte nur unvollkommen. Zwar konnte das 1002 durch den Tod von Roberts II. Oheim Odo-Heinrich ledig gewordene Herzogtum Burgund nach langen Auseinandersetzungen mit Gf. Ott-Wilhelm von Burgund und Bf. Bruno von Langres schließlich 1016 für die Herrscherfamilie erworben und, nach Anerkennung der Eigenständigkeit des burgundischen Adels, an Roberts II. 2. Sohn Heinrich verliehen werden. Doch vermochte der Kg. den Mannfall in den Grafschaften Troyes, Meaux und Provins nicht für sich zu nutzen und mußte 1023 die umfassende Herrschaftsbildung des Grafen Odo II. von Blois-Champagne akzeptieren. Auch ein Treffen Roberts II. mit Ks. HEINRICH II. im August 1023 bei Ivois-sur-Chiers/Mouzon vermochte Odos Aufstieg vorläufig nicht zu bremsen, führte aber zur Verabredung einer Synode in Pavia: Sie kam zwar wegen HEINRICHS Tod 1024 nicht mehr zustande, unterstrich aber die führende und gleichberechtigte Rolle von Kaisertum und französischem Königtum in ihrem Selbstverständnis als Säulen der Christenheit. Den dynastischen Wechsel im Imperium 1024 nutzte Robert II. der Fromme trotz des Angebots der italiensichen Königskrone nicht für sich oder seinen Sohn aus, Indiz für den Dekompositionsprozeß der fränkischen regna.gen sorgte Robert II. der Fromme für die dynastische Konsolidierung der kapetingischen Königsfamilie, nicht allein wegen seiner langen Regierungszeit, sondern auch durch die im Bund mit dem Adel betriebene Erhebung seiner Söhne Hugo (+ 1025) und Heinrich zu Mit-Königen. Roberts II. letzte Jahre blieben durch Auseinandersetzungen innerhalb der Familie geprägt. Die von seinem Biographen Helgaud von Fleury gemeldete und persönlicher Frömmigkeit (Beiname pius) entsprungene Fahigkeit Roberts II., durch Handauflegen und Kreuzschlagen Wunden zu heilen, sollte späteren Geneartionen zum traditionsbildenden Ausgangspunkt für göttlich inspirierte Heilungskräfte kapetingischer Könige werden.
Robert married Constance de Provence about 1005. Constance (daughter of Comte Guillaume d' Arles & Provence, II / IV and Adelaide d' Anjou) was born in 986 in Arles; died on 25 Jul 1032 in Melun, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Roy Karl der Karolingen, III, "le Simple" was born on 17 Sep 879 (son of Roy Louis der Karolingen, II, 'le Bègue' and Adelheid de Paris); died on 7 Oct 929 in Peronne. Notes:
King of France (893-923).
Charles was the posthumous son of Louis II the Stammerer. He was not crowned king in 884 A.D. on the death of his brother Carloman, since the kingdom's noblemen chose Emperor Charles the Fat in his place. He again failed to win the throne in 888 A.D. when the honour went to Count Eudes of Paris who had won distinction during the siege of Paris by the Vikings. Charles III the Simple was finally crowned king in 893 A.D. He then had to fight Eudes but eventually succeeded in signing an agreement with him. It stated that Charles would succeed Eudes after the latter's death, and this was complied with in 898 A.D. Charles III the Simple temporarily annexed Lotharingia to France but was required to grant the Caux area in feu to Rollo, the Viking chieftain, in 9 l l .A.D (Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte) in order to put an end to the Normans' pillaging. Charles III the Simple was faced with a revolt on the part of the kingdom's leading noblemen in 922 and with the election of Robert, Marquis of Neustria, to the throne of France. Despite his rival's death during the Battle of Soissons, Charles III the Simple was taken prisoner and deposed in 923 A.D.
He died in 929 in Peronne where he was still being held prisoner.

Rolf/Hrolf the Ganger was named after his mother's father: Hrolf Nefr/Nefia
He had an elder half brother called Hrollaug (Rollo).
In exile in the Hebrides Rolf married Caitlin and they had a son Rollo, named by/after his uncle in the Norse tradition.
[They also had a daughter Caitlin who was kidnapped and taken to Iceland.]
While Rolf conquered Normandy he was never the count because he refused to bend the knee to the French king.
Meanwhile when Rollo came of age he married Poppa and their child was William Longsword etc.
Poppa must have died because after the death of Rolf (presumably in 910/1) Rollo decided to accept the king's offer - he paid homage, was created Count of Rouen and given the king's daughter in marriage.

Emperor Karl der Karolingen, II, 'le Chauve' was born on 13 Jun 823 in Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, Deutschland (son of Emperor Louis der Karolingen, I, "le Pieux" and Judith von Bayern); died on 6 Oct 877 in Brides-les-bain. Notes:
King of Western Francia (840-877). Holy Roman Emperor (875-877).
Charles was the last son of Louis I the Pious and was the cause of the troubles that marked the end of his father's reign since Louis wanted to give him a major position in his projects for his succession. When Louis died, Charles II the Bald allied himself with his brother, Louis the German, against their other brother, Lothar, who had become emperor. Lothar was defeated at the Battle of Fontenoy-en-Puisaye in 841 A.D. Charles and Louis strengthened their alliance through oaths taken at Strasburg in 842 and forced Lothar to negotiate a peace. Eventually, through the Treaty of Verdun (843 A.D.) the three brothers shared the empire between themselves. Charles II the Bald received the territories to the west of the Scheldt, Meuse, Saone and Rhone, territories which constituted 'Francia occidentalis'. He extended his territory slightly by obtaining part of Lotharingia in 870. He was forced to fight the Bretons who declared themselves to be politically independent in 846 A.D. He was also in conflict with his nephew, Pepin, until 864 A.D. regarding control of Aquitaine. The entire reign of Charles II the Bald was marked by the first major Viking invasions. The Normans pillaged Paris in 845, 858 and 861 A.D. and began to settle on a permanent basis in certain regions. On the death of Emperor Louis II, Pope John VIII offered Charles the imperial crown. Charles travelled to Rome where he was crowned emperor in 875 A.D. On the death of his brother, Louis the German, in 876 A.D, Charles II the Bald seized part of Louis' kingdom but was defeated by his nephew, Louis the Younger, at Andernach in 876. Charles was forced to retreat. In 877, he answered a call from the Pope who was under threat from the Saracen. He issued the Quierzy capitulary by which he entrusted the kingdom to his son, Louis, and to the leading noblemen. This marked a new development in the feudal system. He then set off for Italy. However, his campaign failed and he died on the return journey. His only surviving son, Louis II the Stammerer, succeeded him on the throne of France.
