Constance Toulouse Of Arles, daughter of William 3rd Of Toulouse and Adelaide D'Anjou. Born ± 986 at Arles,Bouches-du-Rhone,France, died Jul 25, 1032 at Meulan,Seine-et-Marne,France, approximately 46 years, buried 1032 at Abbey of St. Denis,Seine,France Also Known As:<_AKA> Constance of Provence Name Prefix: Married 1005/1006 (approximately 26 years married) to: Robert 2nd Capet, son of Hugh Capet, King Of France and Adelaide Of Poiteau. Born Mar 27, 972 at Orleans,France, died Jul 20, 1031 at Meulan, 59 years, 1st marriage to: N.N., 2nd marriage to: Constance Toulouse Of Arles, 3rd married/ related to: Bertha De Burgundy Nickname: Name Prefix: Name Suffix: [totalburley.FTW] Robert II, byname Robert the Pious, French: Robert le Pieux, king of France who took Burgundy into the French realm. The son of Hugh Capet, founder of the Capetian dynasty, and Adelaide of Aquitaine, Robert was educated at the episcopal school of Reims under Gerbert of Aurillac, later Pope Sylvester II. Soon after his own coronation (July 987), Hugh prudently arranged the election and coronation (December 987) of Robert, thus facilitating his son's eventual succession (October 996) as sole ruler. His excommunication as a result of his marriage within the prohibited degrees of relationship was eventually lifted after the repudiation of the childless Bertha in 1001. Constance of Arles, whom the King married two years later, was the mother of his successor, Henry I. Robert's domain was not extensive; and, to increase his power, he vigorously and tenaciously pressed his claim to fiefs as they became vacant. Thus, when the duke of Burgundy died without an heir (1002), Robert went to war against a rival claimant. Only in 1015, however, did he finally succeed in subduing the rich duchy. (The gain was transitory, for in 1032 Henry I granted Burgundy to his brother, Robert, and it thereafter remained for centuries outside royal control.) A patron of the Cluniac monastic movement, Robert apparently ruled firmly and judiciously in his own lands. _STATMARRIED Children: 1.
