King Henri
I CAPET of the Franks was born on May 4, 1008 in Reims, Champagne, Kingdom
of France.1311,1312,1313 Between
1031 and 1060 he was a King of France. From father King Robert II's
death. To defend his throne against his mother, his brothers Robert and Eudes,
and subsequently against the count of Blois, he secured, at the cost of territorial
concessions, the aid of Robert I, duke of Normandy, and of Geoffrey Martel, count
of Anjou. After the submission of his brother Robert, Henry unwisely invested
him with the duchy of Burgundy, setting up a powerful rival to the French kingdom.
He found the chief enemy of his later reign in Robert of Normandy’s son
William, later William I of England, who successfully resisted two invasions
by Henry. Henry was succeeded by his son Philip I. He died on August 4, 1060
in Vitry, Brie, Kingdom of France.117

King Hugues
I CAPET of the Franks was born in 939 in The Duchy of France.62 Was the second son of Hugh the Great, Count of Paris,
and Hedwig, sister of Otto I, German Emperor, and was about ten years old when
he inherited from his father the Countship of Paris and the Duchy of France.
About 949 he was a Count of Paris and Duke of France in The Duchy of France.
He was elected as King of Nobles between July 3, 987 and 996 in The Kingdom
of France. Became king largely through the support of the secular
and regular clergy. As early as 985 the famous Gerbert wrote "The Carlovingian
Lothair governs France only in name. The king of France is Hugh." When Louis
V died, 21 May, 987, the assistance of Adalberon, Archbishop of Reims, and of
Gerbert, brought about the election of Hugh. The electoral assembly of Senlis
listened to a discourse of Adalberon: "Crown the Duke", he said. "He
is most illustrious by his exploits, his nobility, his forces. The throne is
not acquired by hereditary right; no one should be raised to it unless distinguished
not only for nobility of birth, but for the goodness of his soul". A unanimous
vote ratified this discourse, and Hugh Capet was crowned at Noyon, 3 July, 987.
Thus his accession, as M. Luchaire says, was above all "an ecclesiastical
achievement". Hugh possessed towns and estates in the vicinity of Paris,
Orléans, and in the district of Senlis and Chartres, Touraine and Anjou,
but on the whole these were restricted domains, as his vassals on the borders
of the Seine and the Loire contested his authority. His military power was mediocre,
and he had frequently to seek military aid in alliance with Normandy. But he
possessed moral power and a political influence which reached the most remote
parts of the kingdom and was felt even by foreigners. His chief concern was to
maintain over the Archdiocese of Reims, whose jurisdiction comprised nearly the
whole of northern and northeastern France, a continuous, immediate, and uncontested
authority. The Archdiocese of Reims possessed a double importance, first because
the archbishop had the right to elect and crown the kings of France, and next
because of its geographical situation between France and Germany. The death of
Adalberon, proved by M. Lot to have taken place 23 January, 989, disturbed the
new king, and Arnoul, the new archbishop whom he accepted at the end of March,
989, as successor to Adalberon, attempted a restoration of the Carlovingians
(Sept., 989), and Charles of Lorraine, their heir, was for a short time master
of Reims and Laon. Arnoul refused to appear at the Council of Senlis (beginning
of 990), but the imprisonment of Charles of Lorraine and of Arnoul (29 March,
991), and the deposition of Arnoul pronounced at the Council of St. Basle, fixed
by M. Lot at 17 and 18 June, 991 (and not 993), assured the maintenance of the
Capetian dynasty. Gerbert became Archbishop of Reims (21 June, 991). This revolution
accomplished by a council was received by the papacy with reserve. When Hugh
Capet requested the Holy See to legitimize the action of the council, John XVI
was silent; later, under the influence of Germany, the pope refused formally
to recognize the election of Gerbert. Then began the difficulties which led the
bishops devoted to Hugh to profess certain "Gallican principles". Nevertheless,
Hugh must not be represented as wishing to found a State Church; what he wished
was to maintain the Archdiocese of Reims under the domination of France, and
to remove it from the influence of the German emperors. If his attitude towards
the papacy was often suspicious, it was not due to a Gallican theology, but because
he feared that the popes of the time were too subservient to the policy of the
emperors; hence his relations with the Holy See were merely an episode in his
general policy, destined to bring about the cessation of the powerful influence
which the Saxon dynasty had exercised over France during the tenth century.
His domestic policy was very favourable to the development of monastic life and
the autonomy of the monasteries. He defended their property against lay tyranny;
he sought to remove them from episcopal jurisdiction while upholding the royal
right to confirm abbatial elections; he supported all the liberties of the monks
in the exercise of their electoral rights; he renounced the custom of distributing
abbeys as benefices to laymen. Because of its political importance he wished
to retain effective direction over the Abbey of St. Martin of Tours, and even
under the reign of the Plantagenet Henry II the Capetians preserved considerable
influence at Tours and along the Middle Loire. Apropos of Hugh Capet it is worthy
of note that because the Dukes of France had in their possession the famous cope
(cappa) of St. Martin, certain authors give to Hugh the Great and to his son
Hugh the surname of Capet, which in history is reserved exclusively for the subject
of this article. Hugh Capet in his religious policy applied and favoured the
ideas of reform upheld by the monks of Cluny. He died in 996 in The Kingdom
of France.62 He has Ancestral
File Number 6046771072. Parents: Duc
Hugues Le Grand de France, Count of Paris and Hedwidge DE SAXE.Spouse: Adelaïde D'AQUITAINE. King Hugues I CAPET of the Franks and Adelaïde D'AQUITAINE were married about July 968 in The Duchy of France.199 Children were: Princess Hedwig CAPET of France, King Robert II CAPET of the Franks, Giselle CAPET.
Isabella CAPET62 was born about 1118. She died. Parents: King Louis VI CAPET of the Franks and Adelaïde DE SAVOIE of Maurienne.
King St.
Louis IX CAPET of France was born on April 25, 1214 in Poissy, France.1314 Between 1226 and 1270 he
was a King of France. From father King Louis XIII's death. His father
died when he was just twelve years old, and he was crowned -- at Rheims, like
almost all French Kings -- on the First Sunday of Advent in 1226. His very strong
and pious mother acted as his regent, supressing various revolts to secure her
son's place. She acted as regent even after he reached the age of majority, and
guided his career with strong Christian advice, forming his character in holiness.
No date is given for the beginning of Louis's personal rule. His contemporaries
viewed his reign as co-rule between the king and his mother, though historians
generally view the year 1234 as the year in which Louis began ruling personally,
with his mother assuming a more advisory role. She continued as an important
counselor to the king until her death in 1252. She would say to him, "Never
forget that sin is the only great evil in the world. No mother could love her
son more than I love you. But I would rather see you lying dead at my feet than
know that you had offended God by one mortal sin" -- sentiments that he
took to heart and would later pass on to his own successor. In 1230, he outlawed
all forms of usury and compelled usurers to contribute toward the Crusades when
their debtors could not be found to be compensated (later under his reign, in
1240, would come the famous disputation of the Talmud in Paris, after rulers
and churchmen discovered what blasphemies the Talmud taught. Copies of the Talmud
were burned in great fires in the streets of Paris). Louis married at age nineteen,
in 1234, taking to wife Marguerite of Provence, with whom he had eleven children
-- five sons and six daughters. He went on a Crusade in 1248, and fought nobly
and with great honor, forbidding his men to kill prisoners and always expecting
them to act as Christians. But he lost the battle and, weakened by dystentery,
was captured in Mansoura, Egypt. During his captivity, he sang the Divine Office
every day with two chaplains and conducted himself with such honor as to impress
his captors. When the Sultan was killed by his own emirs, he was set free, but
didn't immediately return to Europe; instead, he went to the Holy Land, and remained
there in order to help fortify the Christian colonies, not returning until 1254,
during which time his mother died. Very dedicated to the cause of peace, he
not only arbitrated and made treaties with Henry VIII and James I of Aragon,
but did much to curb a lot of the petty, feudal warfare that caused so much harm.
He was a great patron of learning, the arts, and architecture, and under his
patronage, the Sorbonne was founded; abbeys built; the choir, apse, and nave
of St. Denis Basilica -- which contains the tombs of almost all French Kings
-- were refurbished, etc. His crowning architectural glory, though, is Ste. Chapelle,
the beautiful chapel with the walls of stained glass that sits on the tiny Ile
de la Cité right in the middle of Paris, in the Seine River (the same island
where Notre Dame Cathedral is found). This chapel was built to house a part of
the Crown of Thorns and a piece of the True Cross which he purchased from Emperor
Baldwin II in Constantinople, and it became St. Louis's personal royal chapel.
Glorious and fruitful was his reign! Indeed, having dealt with economic woes
by expelling the usurers from France, King St. Louis ruled over a time that became
known as "the golden century of Saint Louis." He was most famous,
though, for his charity, humility, and concern for the poor. He built many hospitals,
among them the hospital known as "Quinze-vingt" ("Fifteen-Twenty")
-- a hospital for the blind and whose name comes from the fact that it could
care for 300 patients. He built homes for reformed prostitutes. Every day, he
met with the poor personally and saw to it that they were fed, inviting them
to dine with him, and washing their feet in imitation of Christ at the Last Supper.
He gave special attention to the indigent during Advent and Lent. All who knew
him admired him; no one spoke ill of him and he spoke ill of no one else. His
biographer, Joinville, wrote, "I was a good twenty-two years in the King's
company and never once did I hear him swear, either by God, or His Mother, or
His saints. I did not even hear him name the Devil, except if he met the word
when reading aloud, or when discussing what had been read." He was also
very devoted to the cause of Justice, and eliminated the feudal method of conflict
resolution through combat, replacing it with arbitration and judicial process.
He eradicated his ancestors' "King's Court" and established popular
courts in which he, himself, would hear his subjects' grievances. In 1270, he
went off on another Crusade, this time in an attempt to convert the Emir of Tunis
after being inspired by acting as godfather to a Jewish convert. Again, his Crusade
failed, and again he became sick with dysentery. This time, though, he did not
recover. He died at three in the afternoon on 25 August 1270. His last words
were those of Christ: "Into Thy hands I commend my spirit." He was
canonized in 1297, 27 years after his death, and was succeeded by his son, Philip
III. His line continued after him until the French Revolution, when King Louis
XVI was guillotined on 21 January 1703. At this act of regicide, the Abbe Edgeworth
said, "Son of St. Louis, ascend to Heaven!" St. Louis is the patron
of builders, kings, large families, and Crusaders (and, of course, St. Louis,
Missouri). He is represented in art by the Crown of Thorns, crown, scepter, and
the fleur-de-lis (the symbol of French monarchy, most likely a stylized depiction
of the Yellow Flag Iris -- Iris pseudocorus). Between 1226 and 1237 he was a
Count of Artois. He died on August 25, 1270 in Tunis, North Africa.125,143,1314 Died of dysentery. He was
canonized in 1297.1314
Pope Boniface VIII proclaimed the canonization of Louis in 1297; he is one of
the few royals in French history to have been declared a saint. Louis IX is
often considered the model of the ideal Christian monarch. Because of the aura
of holiness attached to his memory, many Kings of France were called Louis, especially
in the Bourbon dynasty, who directly descended from one of his younger sons.
The Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Louis is a Roman Catholic religious
order founded in 1842 and named in his honour. He was buried in St-Denis Basilica,
St-Denis, France. Christian tradition states that some of his entrails
were buried directly on the spot in Tunisia, where a Tomb of Saint-Louis can
still be visited today, whereas other parts of his entrails were sealed in an
urn and placed in the Basilica of Monreale, Palermo, where they still remain.
His corpse was taken, after a short stay at the Basilica of Saint Dominic in
Bologna, to the French royal necropolis at Saint-Denis, resting in Lyon on the
way. King Louis's remains were laid to rest, like those of almost all French
Kings, in the Basilica of St. Denis (now a northern suburb of Paris). The Basilica
was sacked during the infamous Revolution and its royal tombs were emptied into
a mass grave -- with some of the tombs themselves being destroyed, including
that of St. Louis. His tomb at Saint-Denis was a magnificent gilt brass monument
designed in the late 14th century. It was melted down during the French Wars
of Religion, at which time the body of the king disappeared. Only one finger
was rescued and is kept at Saint-Denis. Parents: King
Louis VIII CAPET of the Franks, Count of Artois and Blanca of Castile.Spouse: Margaret BERENGUER de Provence. King St. Louis IX CAPET of France and Margaret BERENGUER de Provence were married on May 27, 1234.125,890 Children were: King Philip III CAPET of France.
King Louis
VI CAPET of the Franks was born in 1081 in The Kingdom of France.155 Between 1108 and 1137 he was
a King of France. From father King Philippe I's death, with whom
he was associated in government from c.1100. He firmly established his authority
within the royal domain, suppressing brigandage by robber barons and besieging
their castles, and punishing wrongdoers. He continued his father’s policy
of opposing the English in Normandy and was almost continuously at war with King
Henry I (1109-13, 1116-20, 1123-35); he often met with defeat, but his resistance
checked a greater English advance. In 1124 he called up forces from far-flung
regions of France; with strong support from the nobles he resisted the invasion
of Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, who had come to the aid of Henry I. As a part
of his plan for strengthening royal authority, Louis favored the church, liberally
endowing its enterprises and selecting churchmen, notably the Abbé Suger,
as his ministers; he was vigorous, however, in enforcing his privilege of interference
in ecclesiastical affairs. To gain support from the towns, he began to grant
them royal charters. He obtained a foothold in Guienne (Aquitaine) by marrying
his son Louis (his successor as Louis VII) to the heiress of the duchy, Eleanor
of Aquitaine. His enforcement of order and justice made Louis popular with the
middle classes, the peasantry, and the clergy. He died between August 1137 and
December 1137 in Béthizy, Paris, Kingdom of France.62 Hunting Lodge in Béthizy, a few leagues north
of Paris. He has Ancestral File Number 377923192. He was also known
as King Louis the Fat. http://www.bartleby.com/65/lo/Louis6Fr.html

VI's death. Soon aroused the opposition of Pope Innocent II because of his support
of a rival to the papal candidate for the archbishopric of Bourges, and his lands
were placed under papal interdict. Louis next fought a 2-year war and conquered
