His lordship over many fiefs around Paris and Orleans 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. [Funk & Wagnalls] FOSTER, MINOR, NEWLIN - 28th ggrandfather !Desc. of Charlemagne, Vol. III; Vol. I, p. 124 !981 - signs agreement with Otto II 987 - crowned king of France, founder of the Capetian line 996 - dies and is succeeded by his son, Robert II [Timetables of History] !When Hugh came to the throne both conditions for a cessation of hostilities had effectively been met. The surviving Carolingian candidate, Louis V's uncle Charles of Lorraine, was disqualified by marriage into a knightly family, and perhaps still more by his treachery during hostilities between Lothar and Otto II. At the same time the lordships of northern France, though not yet fully defined and consolidated, had for the most part reached the point at which a further prolongation of the struggle offered fewer rewards than risks, so that Charles' bid for the throne found little support. In short Hugh Capet came to the throne at a time when much of its power had already been lost, and this was a major factor in the survival for more than three centuries of the dynasty which he founded. The conflicts of the 10th century affected the monarchy in another way as well. During their course Carolingians and Robertians had looked for great allies through marriage; each had, for example, taken wives from Otto I's sisters. For much of the eleventh century the consequence was that the politically most beneficial marriages were either barred to the Capetians by consanguinity, or liable to be challenged on that ground if they nevertheless contracted them. Something of the implications of this can be seen in the family trees produced for the house of Roucy, which had been closely bound to Hugh at the time of his bid for the throne. In the 11th century they made nothing of their link with the monarchy, and only began to vaunt their relationship with the royal family during the last half of the 12thcentury when Louis VII was enjoying a resurgence in the powers of the crown. [The Oxford History of Medieval Europe] !When Hugh Capet assumed leadership in 987, he had all the necessary qualities to be a good feudal monarch -- he was the duke of the Ile de France as well as several other French districts. Thuis he had a large independent income with which he could buy needed support. His family, moreover, were powerful rulers; his brother ruled Burgundy, and his sisters had married the dukes of Normandy and Aquitania. Furthermore, the church had been won over to his side. [Outline History of Mankind] Hugh Capet, the Duke of France and Count of Paris, was elected to the throne of France by the nobility after King Louis V died without heirs. He was King of France from 987-96. Hugh was the founder of the "Capetian" dynasty which ruled France from 987 to 1328. The founder of the Capitian dynesty. Many of the counts of Northern France did homage to him as their overlord and Richard I, duke of Normandy, was his vassal and his brother-in-law. after the death of King Loathir and his son Louis V, Hugh Capet was crowned king of the Franks in Jul 987.!Royal Ancestors of Some American Families by Michel Call SLC 1989 425 Title: Ridipath's History Page: 25 From 'Glick/Foster Ancestry' at Rootsweb.com 2.
