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.

BIOGRAPHY: Acceded 932 Per Rosamond McKitterick's, "The Frankish Kingdoms under the Carolingians 751-987", London & NY (Longman) 1983, p 238: "William Longsword, ROLLO's son and successor, was the principal architect of Normandy's development. He married the daughter of HERBERT OF VERMANDOIS but his children were born of a Breton concubine. William had supported LOUIS IV (RIN 1617) and attempted to establish his protection over Brittany, gaining at least the Cotentin and Avranchin in 933. There remains some doubt about William's claim to the whole Breton peninsula. When in 942 William was murdered at the instigation of COUNT ARNULF OF FLANDERS, his son Richard, still a minor, succeeded him." [source unrecorded]: ROLLO died in 927, and was succeeded by his son William "Long Sword" born of his union 'more danico' with POPPA, daughter of COUNT BERENGER; he showed some attachment to the Scandinavian language, for he sent his son William to Bayeux to learn Norse. The first two dukes also displayed a certain fidelity to the Carolingian dynasty of France, and in 936 William "Long-Sword" did homage to LOUIS IV d'Outremer. He died on 17th of December 942, assassinated by the COUNT OF FLANDERS.

William married Sprota (Adela) Of Senlis in 1st Marriage. Sprota was born about 911 in Rennes, Anjou, France; died in 940 in Normandie (Normandy), France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

BIOGRAPHY: acceded 942. From Rosamond McKitterick.s, "The Frankish Kingdoms under the Carolingians 751-987", London & NY (Longman) 1983, pp. 238-239: "When in 942 WILLIAM was murdered at the instigation of COUNT ARNULF OF FLANDERS (RIN 2173), his son Richard, still a minor, succeeded him. LOUIS IV (RIN 1617) and HUGH THE GREAT (RIN 1206) each tried to sieze Normandy, and LOUIS took charge of Richard. He then ensconced himself at Rouen and HUGH took Bayeux, which still had a Scandinavian leader called Sictric. Richard escaped from his custody at Laon, retook Rouen, and called on another Viking leader, Harald of the Bassin, for help. The Normans under Richard were able to re-establish their autonomy and from 947 Richard governed in relative peace. In 965 he swore allegiance to the Carolingian king Lothar [son of LOUIS IV] at Gisors. Richard's official marriage was to Emma, daughter of HUGH THE GREAT; they had no children, but by his common-law wife GUNNOR, a Dane, he had many. RICHARD II, son of GUNNOR and Richard I, succeeded his father in 996, another son Robert was archbishop of Rouen from 989 to 1037 and EMMA their daughter became queen of England on her marriage to AETHELREAD, a position she maintained after his death in 1016 by marrying Knut. GUNNOR's nephews and other relatives further more formed the core of the new aristocracy which developed in the course of the eleventh century. Unfortunately we know little about the internal organization and history of Normandy until the reign of RICHARD II."

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.
