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.

Constance married Robert II "The Pious", King Of France in 1001. Robert (son of King Hugues CAPET, of France and Adelaide (Aelis) Of Poitou DE POITOU, Princess Of Aquitaine) was born on 27 Mar 972 in Orl?ans, Loiret, France; died on 20 Jul 1031 in Melun Castle, Melun, Aquitaine, France; was buried in Basilica of Saint Denis, Paris, ?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 Mathilde VON FRIESLAND in 1043 in of Reims, Marne, France. Mathilde was born in 1008 in Reims, Marne, France; died in 1044; was buried in Dom zu Worms, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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:

Ad?le of France[a] known also as Adela the Holy or Adela of Messines; (1009 ? 8 January 1079, Messines), she was the Countess of Normandy (January 1027? August 1027), Countess of Flanders (1035? 1067).Ad?le was the second daughter of Robert II (the Pious), and Constance of Arles.[1] In January 1027 she married Richard III, Duke of Normandy.[2] The marriage was short-lived for on 6 August of that same year Richard III suddenly died.[2] Adela then married Baldwin V, Count of Flanders in 1028.[3]

Ad?le's influence lay mainly through her family connections. On the death of her brother, Henry I of France, the guardianship of his seven-year-old son Philip I fell jointly on his widow, Ann of Kiev, and on his brother-in-law, Adela's husband, so that from 1060 to 1067, they were Regents of France.[4Ad?le had a strong interest in Baldwin V's church reforms and was behind her husband's founding of several collegiate churches. Directly or indirectly, she was responsible for establishing the Colleges of Aire (1049), Lille (1050) and Harelbeke (1064) as well as the abbeys of Messines (1057) and Ename (1063). After Baldwin's death in 1067, she went to Rome, took the nun's veil from the hands of Pope Alexander II and retired to the Benedictine convent of Messines, near Ypres. There she later died and was buried at the convent. Honoured as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, her commemoration day is 8 September.[5]


ADELA de France, daughter of ROBERT II King of France & his third wife Constance d'Arles (1009-Messines 8 Jan 1079, bur Messines, Benedictine monastery). The Genealogica Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana names "filiam Rodberti regis Francorum Adelam" wife of "Balduinum Insulanum"[231]. The Genealogi? Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Alam comitissam Flandrensem" the daughter of King Robert[232]. Corbie was her dowry[233]. The Liber traditionum of Gant Saint-Pierre commemorates the donations of "Baldwinus junior marchysus filius Baldwini marchysi et Odgev? comitiss? cum conjuge sua Adala", undated[234]. She founded the Benedictine monastery at Messines near Ypres. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "VI Id Jan" of "Adelaidis comitissa"[235].
Count Baudouin V & his wife had three children

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]

Philippe married Countess Bertha DE HOLLAND in 1071-1072 in Lle DE France, France. 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. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Philippe married Bertrada DE MONTFORT, Reine des Francs on 15 May 1092 in ?vreux, Eure, Upper Normandy, France. Bertrada was born in 1070 in Montfort, Eure, Haute-Normandie, France; died on 14 Feb 1117 in Fontevrault-L'abbaye, Maine-Et-Loire, Pays De La Loire, France; was buried in 1117 in Abbey of Hautes-Bruy?res, Saint-R?my-l'Honor?, Yvelines, ?le-de-France, France.

Notes:

Hugh I (1053 ? October 18, 1101), called Magnus or the Great, was a younger son of Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev and younger brother of Philip I.

He was in his own right Count of Vermandois, but an ineffectual leader and soldier, great only in his boasting.

Indeed, Steven Runciman is certain that his nickname Magnus (greater or elder), applied to him by William of Tyre, is a copyist's error, and should be Minus (younger), referring to Hugh as younger brother of the King of France.

In early 1096 Hugh and Philip began discussing the First Crusade after news of the Council of Clermont reached them in Paris. Although Philip could not participate, as he had been excommunicated, Hugh was said to have been influenced to join the Crusade after an eclipse of the moon on February 11, 1096.

That summer Hugh's army left France for Italy, where they would cross the Adriatic Sea into territory of the Byzantine Empire, unlike the other Crusader armies who were travelling by land. On the way, many of the soldiers led by fellow Crusader Emicho of Flonheim joined Hugh's army after Emicho was defeated by the Hungarians (under King Coloman I "The Booklover" at Moson fortress), whose land he had been pillaging.

Hugh crossed the Adriatic from Bari in Southern Italy, but many of his ships were destroyed in a storm off the Byzantine port of Dyrrhachium.

Hugh and most of his army was rescued and escorted to Constantinople, where they arrived in November 1096. Prior to his arrival (he would be the first to arrive in Constantinople), Hugh sent an arrogant, insulting letter to Eastern Roman Emperor Alexius I Comnenus, according to the Emperor's biography by his daughter (the Alexiad), demanding that Alexius meet with him:

"Know, O King, that I am King of Kings, and superior to all, who are under the sky. You are now permitted to greet me, on my arrival, and to receive me with magnificence, as befits my nobility."[1]

Alexius was already wary of the armies about to arrive, after the unruly mob led by Peter the Hermit had passed through earlier in the year ("The People's Crusade"). Alexius kept Hugh in custody in a monastery until Hugh swore an oath of vassalage to him.

After the Crusaders had successfully made their way across Seljuk territory and, in 1098, captured Antioch, Hugh (and Baldwin of Hainault were) sent back to Constantinople to appeal for reinforcements from Alexius (Baldwin mysteriously vanishes in an ambush along the way). Alexius was uninterested in sending an expedition to claim the city so late in summer. (This triggers off a series of arguments in Antioch, where Bohemund asserts that Alexius had violated his oath to assist the crusades, and therefore, the city by rights was his. This argument, and an outbreak of typhus, ties up the Crusaders for the remainder of the year.)

Hugh, instead of returning to Antioch to help plan the siege of Jerusalem, went back to France. There he was scorned for not having fulfilled his vow as a Crusader to complete a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and Pope Paschal II threatened to excommunicate him.

Hugh joined the minor Crusade of 1101 ("The Crusade of the Faint-Hearted," alongside William IX of Aquitaine and Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, and accompanied by Ida of Austria, mother of Leopold III of Austria). Half of this army was allowed to set sail from Constantinople for Palestine, while the other half marched overland, reaching Heraclea by September. Hugh was wounded in battle with the Turks (ambushed by Kilij Arslan) in September, and died of his wounds on October 18 in Tarsus. (Their group continued eastward under William of Nevers and Raymond of Toulouse, arriving at Jerusalem in Easter 1102. Kilij Arslan later establishes his capital at Konya after his victories over the "Crusade of the Faint-Hearted.")

BAUDOUIN de Flandre ([1030]-Hasnon Abbey 17 Jul 1070). The Genealogica Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana names (in order) "Balduinum Haanoniensem, et Robdbertum cognomento postea Iherosolimitanum, et Matilde uxorem Guillelmi regis Anglorum" as the children of "Balduinum Insulanum [et] Adelam"[236]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "Balduinum sextum, Robertum cognomento Fresonem, Philippum patrem Guilelmi de Ypra et filias duas Iudith, quam duxit Tostinus comes Nortdanimbronum in Anglia et Mathilda?Normannorum ducissa"[237], which confuses three generations of the family of the counts of Flanders. Baudouin's father sent him to be educated at the court of Emperor Heinrich III, who installed him as count in the march of Antwerp in [1045], although this was taken away in [1050] after his father opposed the emperor[238]. He succeeded in 1055 as BAUDOUIN I Comte de Hainaut, by right of his wife. He succeeded his father in 1067 as BAUDOUIN VI Count of Flanders. The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 1070 of "Baldwinus marchisus, qui Hasnoni sepultus est"[239]. The Annales Elnonenses Maiores record Baudouin's death "XVI Kal Aug" and his burial "Hasnonie"[240]. m (1051) as her second husband, RICHILDE, widow of HERMAN Comte de Hainaut, daughter of --- (-Messines 15 Mar 1087, bur Hanson Abbey). The Annales Elnonenses date the marriage of "Balduinus iunior Adele filius" to 1051 (although it incorrectly names his wife "Iudita"), specifying that thereby "castellum Monz obtinuit", and recording that the marriage was "consensu patris"[241] which presumably refers to Baudouin's own father, maybe indicating that Baudouin was a minor at the time. The difficult question of the parentage of Richilde is discussed fully in the document HAINAUT, which sets out her first husband's family. The Annales Blandinienses record that her husband's uncle Robert, having killed her son Arnoul Count of Flanders, captured his mother "Rikilde"[242]. Richilde married thirdly (1070) as his second wife, Guillaume FitzOsbern Earl of Hereford. The Annals of Winchester record the marriage in 1070 of ?comitissam Flandri?? and ?rex?nepoti suo Willelmo filio Osberni?[243]. William of Malmesbury records that Baudouin I comte de Hainaut entrusted the guardianship of his two sons to "Philip king of France?and to William Fitz-Osberne", adding that the latter "readily undertook the office that he might increase his dignity by a union with Richilda"[244]. The Complete Peerage, citing "Annales Flandri?", states that Richilde was taken in battle where her new husband FitzOsbern was killed[245], but the precise reference has not yet been found to this primary source. The necrology of Li?ge Saint-Lambert records the death "XVII Kal Apr" of "Richildis comitisse"[246]. Count Baudouin VI & his wife had [three] children:
a) ARNOUL de Flandre ([1055]-killed in battle Cassel 22 Feb 1071, bur Saint-Bertin). The Genealogica Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana names (in order) "Arnulfum et Balduinem" as sons of "Balduinum Haanoniensem [et] Richelde"[247]. "Arnulfum nepotem suum [Robertus filius Balduini comitis Insulani] occiso" is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[248]. He succeeded his father in 1070 as ARNOUL III Count of Flanders, Comte de Hainaut. "Arnulphus comes Flandrensium?cum matre mea Richilde et?fratre meo Balduino et sorore mea Agnete" donated "allodium?Thaviers in pago Hasbanie" to Ardenne Saint-Hubert, for the souls of "patris mei Balduini et comitis Herimanni", by charter dated 1071[249]. His uncle Robert rebelled against Count Arnoul, defeated him at the battle of Cassel where Arnoul was killed, and seized control of Flanders[250]. Arnoul's younger brother Baudouin was left only with the county of Hainaut.
b) BAUDOUIN de Flandre ([1056]-on Crusade 1098, after 8 Jun). The Genealogica Comitum Flandri? Bertiniana names (in order) "Arnulfum et Balduinem" as sons of "Balduinum Haanoniensem [et] Richelde"[251]. Guibert describes him as "Balduinus comes de Montibus, Roberti Flandrensis comitis iunioris patrui, filius"[252]. "Balduino frater eius [Arnulphum occiso]" is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[253]. He succeeded his brother in 1071 as BAUDOUIN II Comte de Hainaut.
- COMTES DE HAINAUT.
c) [AGNES (-after 1071). "Arnulphus comes Flandrensium?cum matre mea Richilde et?fratre meo Balduino et sorore mea Agnete" donated "allodium?Thaviers in pago Hasbanie" to Ardenne Saint-Hubert, for the souls of "patris mei Balduini et comitis Herimanni", by charter dated 1071[254]. The mention of Comte Herman in this document suggests that Agnes was the same person as the unnamed daughter of "Hermannus filius ducis Thuringie ex Richilde" referred to in the Annales Hanoni?, which specify in a later passage that she became a nun[255]. If this is correct, she was Arnoul's uterine half-sister.]
