    Details taken from wikipedia

    Philip I (23 May 1052 ? 29 July 1108), called the Amorous,[1] was King of the Franks from 1060 to 1108.

    Philip first married Bertha of Holland in 1072.[6] Although the marriage produced the necessary heir, Philip fell in love with Bertrade de Montfort, the wife of Fulk IV, Count of Anjou. He repudiated Bertha (claiming she was too fat) and married Bertrade on 15 May 1092.[7] In 1094 following the synod of Autun, he was excommunicated by the papal representative, Hugh of Die, for the first time;[7] after a long silence, Pope Urban II repeated the excommunication at the Council of Clermont in November 1095.[8] Several times the ban was lifted as Philip promised to part with Bertrade, but he always returned to her; in 1104 Philip made a public penance and must have kept his involvement with Bertrade discreet.[9] In France, the king was opposed by Bishop Ivo of Chartres, a famous jurist.[10]

    Philip's children with Bertha were:

    Constance (1078 ? 14 September 1126), married Hugh I of Champagne before 1097[15] and then, after her divorce, to Bohemund I of Antioch in 1106.[16]
    Louis VI of France (1 December 1081 ? 1 August 1137).[16]
    Henry (1083 ? died young).
    Philip's children with Bertrade were:

    Philip, Count of Mantes (1093 ? fl. 1123),[17] married Elizabeth, daughter of Guy III of Montlh?ry[18]
    Fleury, Seigneur of Nangis (1095 ? July 1119)[19]
    Cecile (1097 ? 1145), married Tancred, Prince of Galilee[20] and then, after his death, to Pons of Tripoli.[21]

Bertha (daughter of Floris I, Count Of Holland and Gertrud, Princess Of Saxony) was born about 1054 in Vlaardingen, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands; died on 15 Oct 1094 in Montreuil-sur-Loir, Maine-et-Loire, Pays de la Loire, France; was buried in Couvent des Hautes Bruy?res, Saint-R?my-l'Honor?, Yvelines, ?le-de-France, France.

    Notes:

    A member of the House of Capet, Henry was born in Reims, the son of King Robert II (972? 1031) and Constance of Arles (986? 1034). In the early-Capetian tradition, he was crowned King of France at the Cathedral of Reims on 14 May 1027, while his father still lived. He had little influence and power until he became sole ruler on his father's death 4 years later.

    The reign of Henry I, like those of his predecessors, was marked by territorial struggles. Initially, he joined his younger brother Robert, with the support of their mother, in a revolt against his father (1025). His mother, however, supported Robert as heir to the old king, on whose death Henry was left to deal with his rebel sibling. In 1032, he placated his brother by giving him the duchy of Burgundy which his father had given him in 1016.

    In an early strategic move, Henry came to the rescue of his very young nephew-in-law, the newly appointed Duke William of Normandy (who would go on to become William the Conqueror), to suppress a revolt by William's vassals. In 1047, Henry secured the dukedom for William in their decisive victory over the vassals at the Battle of Val-?s-Dunes near Caen;[5] however, Henry would later support the barons against William until the former's death in 1060.

    In 1054, William married Matilda, the daughter of the count of Flanders, which Henry saw as a threat to his throne. In 1054, and again in August 1057, Henry invaded Normandy, but lost twice at the battles of Mortemer and Varaville.

    Henry had three meetings with Henry III, Holy Roman Emperor? all at Ivois. In early 1043, he met him to discuss the marriage of the emperor with Agnes of Poitou, the daughter of Henry's vassal.[8] In October 1048, the two Henries met again and signed a treaty of friendship.[9] The final meeting took place in May 1056 and concerned disputes over Theobald III and the County of Blois. The debate over the duchy became so heated that Henry accused the emperor of breach of contract and subsequently left. In 1058, Henry was selling bishoprics and abbacies, ignoring the accusations of simony and tyranny by the Papal legate Cardinal Humbert. In 1060, Henry rebuilt the Saint-Martin-des-Champs Priory just outside Paris. Despite the royal acquisition of a part of the County of Sens in 1055, the loss of Burgundy in 1032 meant that Henry I's twenty-nine-year reign saw feudal power in France reach its pinnacle.

    King Henry I died on 4 August 1060 in Vitry-en-Brie, France, and was interred in the Basilica of St Denis. He was succeeded by his son, Philip I of France, and Henry's queen Anne of Kiev ruled as regent. At the time of his death, he was besieging Thimert, which had been occupied by the Normans since 1058.

    Henri married Duchess/ Anna Agnesa YAROSLAVNA, Of Kiev on 19 May 1051 in Reims Cathedral, Reims, Champagne, France. Anna (daughter of Yaroslay I, Grand Duke Of Kiev and Ingrid (Ingegerda) OLAFSDOTTER, Princess Of Sweden) was born in 1036 in Of Kiev, Kiev, Ukraine; died on 5 Sep 1075 in La Fert?-Alais, Essonne, ?le-de-France, France; was buried after 5 Sep 1075 in La Fert?-Alais, Essonne, ?le-de-France, France.

    Notes:

    The negotiations for Anne's marriage to the 18-years-older King Henry took place in the late 1040s, after the death of Henry's first wife, Matilda of Frisia, and their only child. Due to the pressing need for an heir, and the Church's growing disapproval of consanguineous marriages, it became necessary for Henry to seek an unrelated bride. The Kievan Rus' was not unknown to the French. Yaroslav had married several of his children to Western rulers in an attempt to avoid the influence of the Byzantine Empire.

    In the autumn of 1049 or the spring of 1050, Henry sent Bishop Gauthier of Meaux, Goscelin of Chauny, and other unnamed advisors to Yaroslav's court. It is possible that there were two diplomatic missions to the Rus at this time, with Roger of Chalons also present. No record of the marriage negotiations or the dowry arrangements survives, although Anne reportedly left Kiev with "rich presents". Gregorovich claims that part of the wealth she brought to France included the jacinth jewel that Abbot Suger later mounted on a reliquary of St. Denis. Anne left Kiev in the summer or fall of 1050 and traveled to Reims.

    Anne of Kiev or Anna Yaroslavna (c. 1030 ? 1075) was a Rus' princess who became queen of France in 1051 upon marrying King Henry I. She ruled the kingdom as regent during the minority of their son Philip I from Henry's death in 1060 until her controversial marriage to Count Ralph IV of Valois. Anne founded the Abbey of St. Vincent at Senlis.

    Anne was a daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, Grand Prince of Kiev and Prince of Novgorod, and his second wife Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden. Her exact birthdate is unknown; Philippe Delorme has suggested 1027, while Andrew Gregorovich has proposed 1032, citing a mention in a Kievan chronicle of the birth of a daughter to Yaroslav in that year.

    Anne's exact place in the birth order of her siblings is unknown, although she was almost certainly the youngest daughter. Little is known about Anne's childhood or education. It is assumed that she was literate, at least enough to write her name, because her signature in Cyrillic exists on a document from 1061. Delorme has pointed out that Yaroslav founded a number of schools in his kingdom and suggests that education was highly valued in his family, leading him to propose a significant level of education for Anne. Gregorovich has suggested that Anne learned French in preparation for her marriage to King Henry I of France.

    Engagement
    The negotiations for Anne's marriage to the 18-years-older King Henry took place in the late 1040s, after the death of Henry's first wife, Matilda of Frisia, and their only child. Due to the pressing need for an heir, and the Church's growing disapproval of consanguineous marriages, it became necessary for Henry to seek an unrelated bride.

Gregorovich claims that part of the wealth she brought to France included the jacinth jewel that Abbot Suger later mounted on a reliquary of St. Denis. Anne left Kiev in the summer or fall of 1050 and traveled to Reims.

    Queenship
    Anne married Henry on 19 May 1051, during the feast of Pentecost. Henry was nearly twenty years older than Anne. Her wedding on 19 May 1051 followed the installation of Lietbert as bishop of Cambrai, and Anne was crowned immediately following the marriage ceremony, making her the first French queen to celebrate her coronation in Reims Cathedral.

    Anne and Henry were married for nine years and had three sons: Philip, Robert (who died young), and Hugh. Anne is often credited with introducing the Greek name "Philip" to royal families of Western Europe, as she bestowed it on her first son; she might have imported this Greek name from her Eastern Orthodox culture. There may also have been a daughter, Emma, perhaps born in 1055; it is unknown if she married or when she died.

    As queen, Anne would have had the privilege of participating in the royal council, but there are almost no records of her doing so. In one 1058 charter, Henry granted a privilege to a couple of villages associated with the monastery of Saint-Maur-des-Foss?s doing so "with the approval of my wife Anne and our children Philip, Robert, and Hugh." Anne seems to have possessed territories in the same region under the terms of her dower.

    In 1059, King Henry began feuding with the Church over issues related to Gregorian Reform. During this time, Pope Nicholas II sent Queen Anne a letter counselling her to follow her conscience to right wrongs and intervene against oppressive violence, while also encouraging her to advocate with her husband so that he might govern with moderation. According to Delorme, some historians have interpreted this letter from the Pope as being indicative of Anne's conversion to Roman Catholicism from Eastern Orthodoxy.

    Regency
    Upon Henry's death on 4 August 1060, Philip succeeded to the throne. Count Baldwin V of Flanders, the husband of Henry's sister Adela, was assigned to be Philip's guardian. Anne may still have played an active role in government at that point; an act from 1060 shows her name following Philip's, and her name appears in four times as many charters as Baldwin's. She also hired Philip's tutor, who was known at court by a Greek title.

    Queen Anne's only existing signature dates from this period, inscribed on a document issued at Soissons for the abbot of Saint Crepin le Grand [de], now held in the National Library of France. Under the symbol of the king, Anne added a cross and eight letters in Cyrillic, probably meaning "Anna Reina". Evidence for Anne's role in government, however, disappears in 1061, around the time she remarried. Her second husband was Count Ralph IV of Valois. This marriage was controversial because of the couple's affinity, as Ralph was Henry's cousin, and bigamy, since Ralph was still technically married to his second wife, Haquenez. Ralph was excommunicated for these transgressions. King Philip's advisers may have encouraged him to turn away from his mother, perhaps mistrusting Ralph's influence. Ralph began referring to himself as the king's stepfather in the late 1060s. He died in 1074, leaving Anne a widow once again.

    In 1062, Anne gave a significant amount of money to restore a dilapidated chapel at Senlis, originally dedicated to St. Vincent of Saragossa, bequeathing lands and income to the new establishment so that the organization could sustain itself. She also wrote a letter explaining her reasons for dedicating the monastery. The letter betrays an adherence to Greek Orthodox theology. For instance, the term "Mary, mother of God" is used rather than the more common "Our Lady", perhaps referring to the Eastern concept of the Theotokos. Some scholars believe that Anne did not write this letter herself.

    Death and aftermath

    The exact date of Anne's death is unknown. Delorme believes that she died on 5 September? the day commemorated at Senlis? in 1075 (the year of her last signed document), while others have proposed 1080. A terminus ante quem is provided by a 1089 document of Philip I, which indicates that Anne had died by then.

    In 1682, the Jesuit antiquary Claude-Francois Menestrier announced that he had discovered Anne's tomb at the Cistercian Abbey of Villiers. The discovery was subsequently disputed, as Villiers was not built until the thirteenth century, although it's possible Anne's remains had been moved there at some point following her death. Whatever monument may have been there was destroyed in the French Revolution.

    In the 18th and 19th centuries, increased diplomatic contact between France and Russia led to a revived antiquarian interest in Anne, and a number of short biographies were published. In the 20th century, Anne became a symbol of Ukrainian nationalism. On the other hand, a film was produced in the Soviet Union, "Yaroslavna, the Queen of France" (1978), which was not related with "Ukrainian nationalism" in any way. An opera called "Anna Yaroslavna", written by Antin Rudnytsky, was first performed at Carnegie Hall in 1969. In 1998, the Ukrainian government issued a postage stamp in her honor. In 2005, the Government of Ukraine sponsored the construction of a bronze statue of Queen Anne at Senlis, which was unveiled by President Viktor Yushchenko on 22 June.

    ----------------------------------

    There does not to be any certain proof of Anne's date of birth. The Wikipedia entry for Anne records her birth as being within the range of 1024 and 1036. The Society for Medieval Genealogy records her birth as occurring in 1036, though this is done without sources. Sources that the SfMG records for Anne's general information include:

    Marriage to Henry: Hugonis Floriacensis, Liber qui Modernorum Regum Francorum continet Actus 10, MGH SS IX, p. 388.
    Chronica Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium 1052, MGH SS XXIII, p. 789.

    The large majority of well-researched websites place Anne's date of birth at around 1036. Meanwhile, Anne's birth location is uncertain. Her father lived in Veliky Novgorod (Russian: ????????) up until he relocated to Kiev (Old East Slavic: ?????, Russian: ????) in 1036. As Anne is presumed to have been born between 1024 and 1036, it is far more likely that she was born in Veliky Novgorod, however there is no evidence to support this claim. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kiev-1

    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.

    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.

    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.
