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.[1] In time West Francia evolved into Kingdom of France;[2] 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.[3]
Béatrice of Vermandois (c. 880 – after March 26, 931), a Carolingian aristocrat, the wife of Robert I, King of France, and mother of Hugh the Great.
Beatrice, born c. 880 was the daughter of Herbert I, Count of Vermandois.[1] She was also the sister of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, and was a descendant in the male line of Charlemagne through King Bernard of Italy.[a][3] Through her marriage to Robert I, she was an ancestress of the Capetian dynasty. On 15 June 923 her husband Robert was killed at the Battle of Soissons shortly after which their son Hugh was offered the crown but refused.[4] Beatrice died after March, 931.[1]
Robert the Strong (c. 830 – 2 July 866), also known as Rutpert, also known as Robert IV of Worms, was Margrave in Neustria. His family is named after him and called the Robertians. In 853 he was named missus dominicus by Charles the Bald, King of West Francia. He was the father of two kings of West Francia Odo (or Eudes) and Robert I of France. Robert the Strong was the great-grandfather of Hugh Capet and thus the ancestor of all the Capetians.
Robert was a son of Robert III of Worms.[1] While very little is known about the beginnings of the Robertian family, historians have been able to adduce evidence that the family of nobles had its origins in Hesbaye (approximately present-day Belgium), or perhaps had descended from the family of Chrodegang of Metz—and that Robert was the son of Robert III of Worms.
Adelaide of Tours (c.820-c.866) was a daughter of Hugh of Tours and his wife Ava.
She married Conrad I, Count of Auxerre, with whom she had at least two children, Hugh and Conrad the Younger.
After his death she probably married Robert the Strong,[1] whose children Odo and Robert I of France are perhaps hers.
Since Robert was born in 866, well after her first husband died, he is more likely to be her offspring. His grandson was Hugh Capet, the first King of the House of Capet.
Robert III (800–834), also called Rutpert, was the Count of Worms and Rheingau of a noble Frankish family called the Robertians. He was the son of Robert of Hesbaye.
By his wife Waldrada d'Orleans he had his only verified son, Robert the Strong. They are also believed to be the parents of Odo I, Count of Troyes, and Guntram, Count of Wormsgau. His first cousin was Ermengard, wife of the Frankish emperor Louis the Pious. His cousin Chrodogang was Archbishop of Metz and abbot of the Lorsch Abbey. An uncle of Robert was Count Cancor, founder of Lorsch Abbey. Through Robert the Strong he was grandfather of two kings of Western Francia, Odo and Robert. He was the great-great-grandfather of Hugo Capet, the founder of the Capetian dynasty which ruled France until the French Revolution in 1792 and then again from 1814 until 1848 with the exception of the Hundred Days in 1815.
Waldrada of Worms (or Waldraith; born 801, date of death unknown) was the second wife of Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy. They had two known children, Adelaide of Auxerre and Rudolph I of Burgundy. She was first married to Robert III of Worms, in 819 in Wormgau, Germany. This marriage brought in 830 a son, Robert IV the Strong. The marriage ended when Robert III died in 834.
Some say her father was Saint William of Gellone.
Robert II (Rodbert, Chrodobert) (died 12 July 807) was a Frankish nobleman who was count of Worms and of Rheingau and Count of Hesbaye around the year 800. He is the earliest known male-line ancestor of the French royal family called the Capetians (including the Valois and the Bourbons), and of other royal families which ruled in Portugal, Spain, Brazil and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
Robert of Hesbaye is the earliest certain ancestor of the dynasty known as the Robertians. His son was Robert III of Worms, and his grandson was Robert the Strong. He was eventually the great-grandfather of two Frankish kings, Odo and Robert, both of whom ruled the kingdom of Western Francia.
One of Robert of Hesbaye's male-line descendants was Hugh Capet, the founder of the French royal dynasty which ruled France continuously until 1848, although with a brief interregnum caused by the French revolution and the First French Empire. A junior line has held the Spanish Crown since 1700; the current monarch Felipe VI and his family are direct descendants. Various cadet branches of the Capetian dynasty have ruled other countries including Navarre, Italian states prior to unification, and others.
Robert was probably the son of Thuringbert of Worms and Rheingau and thus a grandson of Robert I, Duke of Neustria (c. 697–764).
Thuringbert (735–770), Count of Hesbaye and Count of Wormsgau, son of Robert I, Count of Hesbaye, and Williswinda.
Thuringbert and his wife (name unknown) had one child:
- Robert II, Count of Hesbaye, grandfather of Robert the Strong.
Robert I (697–764), Count of Hesbaye and Duke of Neustria, son of Lambert, Count of Haspengau, and Chrotlind, daughter of Theoderic III, King of Neustria and Austria, and Saint Amalaberga. He was Count palatine under Childeric III. His descendants would form the basis of the Bourbon dynasty, one of the most important royal households in history.
Robert married Williswinda, daughter of Adalhelm, Grundherr im Wormsgau. Robert and Williswinda had three children:
- Cancor (d. 771), Count of Hesbaye and Rheingau
- Anselm (killed in battle in Roncesvalles, Spain, 778), Count Palatine
- Thuringbert, great-grandfather of Robert the Strong.
Lambert (682–781), Count of Haspengau (Hesbaye). The identity of Lambert's father remains uncertain, but the prevailing theories identify him as either Robert II (Chrodobert II), Lord Chancellor of France, or a son of Robert's. Some histories identify Lambert as the son of Warnius and Gunza (see, for example, Lambert de Hesbaye), although this is not likely. Lambert would be nevertheless a direct descendant of Clovis I, King of the Franks.
Lambert was possibly married to Chrotlind, daughter of Theodoric III, King of Neustria and Austrasia. Lambert (and Chrotlind?) had three children:[1]
- Landrada, married Sigramnus, Count of Hesbaye
- Robert I, Duke of Neustria and Count of Hesbaye
- Rotrude, married Charles Martel. Grandmother of Charlemagne.
Chrodbert (also known as Chrodbert II or Robert II to distinguish him from his great-uncle known sometimes as Chrodbert I) (d. after 678) was a nobleman from Neustria. He was grandson to Chrodbert I, referendary to Clovis II through his son Charibert de Haspengau (555-636) . Chrodbert was Lord Chancellor[citation needed] during the reign of Chlothar III, King of the Franks in Neustria, as well as referendary. He was a contemporary of Ansbert of Rouen, who was also a Lord Chancellor[citation needed] to Clotaire III. Chrodbert was mentioned as Count palatine (comes palatines) on 2 October 678.
He was at the court of Clovis II in 654 and opposed Erchinoald, Mayor of the Palace, to little avail. He supported Ebroin against Leodegar, who had the latter’s eyes put out. He became Count palatine and then chancellor to Clothar III.
Chrodbert married Théodrade (Théoda) and they had many children, some of which are likely their grandchildren
- Chariivius (Hervé), Nobleman of Hesbaye (some say Count of Laon), married to Irmina, daughter of Hugobert. Their son (name unknown) married Bertrada of Prüm, and therefore was a great-grandfather of Charlemagne.
- Lambert, Count of Hesbaye
- Rupert of Salzburg, Bishop of Worms
- Chrotgar, Duke of Le Mans, whose son Charivius was an ancestor of the Rorgonids
- Lambert, Bishop of Liège
- Ragobert (d. 678)
- Folchaid, married Theodo of Bavaria.
Lambert (d. after 650), was a Neustrian nobleman who was son of Robert I, Bishop of Tours. Lambert is identified as a noblilis in Neustria, son of Chrodbert I and father of Chrodbert II in Europäische Stammtafeln, and as such, is a direct ancestor of the Robertians. Brother to Angadrisma, he is sometimes confused with their cousin and her mentor Lambert.
The name of Lambert’s wife may have been Chrotlind of unknown parentage. They had the following children:
It is possibly that Theodard was Robert's brother-in-law rather than his brother. Because of his family, Lambert probably held a position in the royal court, but the precise nature of this is unknown. He is sometimes referred to as Lambert I to distinguish him from his descendent Lambert (II), Count of Hesbaye.
Chrodebert I (Chrotbert, Radobertus, Robert I) (died 695), Référendaire of France and Bishop of Tours (as Chrotbert, 660-695), son of Charibert de Haspengau and his wife Wulfgurd, and therefore grandson of Charibert I, Merovingian King of Paris[citation needed]. Robert and his brothers Erlebert and Aldebert were the ancestors of the Robertians.
Robert began his career as referendary to Dagobert I, the last king of the Merovingian dynasty to actually wield power, and his son Clovis II. He was the Mayor of the Palace of Burgundy (as Radobertus) from 642-662)[citation needed] and possibly that of Neustria during the interregnum of Ebroin. He may have been Bishop of Paris, but there is little evidence to support this.
Robert was married possibly to Glismoda of Bavaria, parentage unknown. They had two children:
- Lambert of Hesbaye
- Saint Angadrisma, married to Ansbert of Rouen
Charibert de Haspengau (555-636), possibly a count, son of Charibert I, Merovingian King of Paris, and Ingoberga. Charibert is described as Charibert nobilis in Neustria in Europäische Stammtafeln. No other information is available other than descriptions of his grandchildren (e.g., Lambertus, Bishop of Lyon), who are described as having "high rank and worthy of significant positions" within the palace.
Charibert married Wulfgurd of Hesbaye of unknown parentage. They had four children:
- Robert I, Bishop of Tours
- Aldebert, a monk, possibly at Fontenelle Abbey
- Erlebert, Seigneur de Quernes
- An unnamed daughter.
Charibert I (French: Caribert; Latin: Charibertus; c. 517 - December 567) was the Merovingian King of Paris, the second-eldest son of Chlothar I and Ingund. His elder brother was Gunthar, who died sometime before their father's death.
In 556, Chlothar sent Charibert and his next youngest brother Gunthram against their stepmother Chunna and their younger stepbrother Chram who was in revolt. Chramn was hiding out on Black Mountain in the Limousin. Negotiations failed and the two armies prepared for battle. A thunderstorm prevented any engagement and Chramn sent forged letters to his brothers, falsely reporting the death of their father. Charibert and Guntram immediately returned to Burgundy to secure their positions.
