    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)

    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.

    Notes:

    Wikipedia

    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.)

    Notes:

    Robert (Rollo)1 Rognavaldsson, son of Rognvald the Wolf and Ragnhilda, was born in Maer, Nord-Trondelag, Norway abt 854-870. Robert died abt 927-932 in Notre Dame, Rouen, France. His body was interred in Notre Dame, Rouen, France. He married twice. He married Poppa de Valois Duchess of Normany 886-891. He married Gisele, Duchess of Normandy France, 912. Rollo Ganger-Hrolf was conqueror of Normandy from whom are descended the Earls of Rouen, the Dukes of Normandy, and the Kings of England. Rollo was one of the most famous Vikings of his age and had learned well the battle tactics taught by his father Rognvald The Wolf. On account of Rollo's great stature, he was known as "Ganger Hrolf" or "Walking Rollo". His Danish name was Hrolfr or Rolf in various spellings. The Normans were Scandinavian invaders who settled Normandy from about 820. Raids by these Northmen or Norsemen up the Seine River began before the middle of the ninth century. They gradually established themselves at the mouths of the Seine and other rivers in northern France. In 911 the Frankish king, Charles the Simple, granted Rollo and his band of Northmen the district about Rouen, to which additional territory was added a few years later. Scandinavian immigrants arrived in great numbers to colonize the land, and the area became known as Normandy. In 912 Rollo, became the first Duke of Normandy. As was the custom at the time, men could have more than one wife. Rollo had a pagan wife, Poppa and two children. Even so, a priest married him to the daughter of the French King Charles The Simple (Gisela de France) in a christian ceremony. There were no children of this marriage. In 918, Rollo married his wife Poppa in a Christian ceremony and thus legitimised his son Guilliamme and daughter Gerloc (baptised Adele). Poppa and Rollo had to send Guilliame to be raised by clerics to guarantee his right to succede his father as Duke of Normandy. Guilliame was later known as William Longsword. Rollo is buried in a tomb in Notre Dame Cathedral at Rouen, France.
