Ben M. Angel notes: Robert I was never a Capet (this was a family name created by Hugh Capet, based on a place name). The name of his family or dynasty was "Robertian" (from Robert Le Fort, his father). He was to the best of my understanding never nicknamed "Le Grand". Please indicate the source you are using here if this is contrary to your information.
From the English Wikipedia page on Robert I of France: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_I_of_France with excerpts from the French Wikipedia page not included in the English article: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ier_de_France
Robert I (15 August 866 ·Äì 15 June 923), King of Western Francia (922 ·Äì 923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888.
West Francia evolved over time into France; under King Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians.
Robert was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by King Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, the March of Neustria, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles III the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen.
The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of King Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Comte Hagano had aroused some irritation (he was made into Charles' principle advisor and favorite - the French Wikipedia page suggests Hagano served merely as a pretext for a premeditated bid for power); and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles III into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims (crowned by Gautier Archbishop of Sens) on Sunday 30 June 922.
Collecting an army, Charles III marched against the usurper and, on 15 June 923, in the stubborn and sanguinary Battle of Soissons (near the city of the same name), Robert I was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival (the French Wikipedia page says this was Fulbert, Faubert, or Foubert).
(The French Wikipedia continues the story, saying that Robert's son, Hugh the Great, denied Charles III the Simple his victory, preventing him from recovering the crown of Western Francia. The nobility instead elect Raoul Duke of Burgundy, stepson of Robert I; he was consecrated on 13 July 923.)
Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis/Adele du Maine, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894·Äì935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895·Äì931) to Herbert II of Vermandois.
Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.

The Battle of Soissons in 923 was a battle during which King Robert I of France was killed, possibly by King Charles III (by legend in single combat), and the latter was defeated and imprisoned by Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy who succeeded Robert I as French monarch.

French Wikipedia page on Robert I de France: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ier_de_France

Robert Ier (né vers 860 - mort le 15 juin 923[1]), fils cadet du comte d'Anjou Robert le Fort, il était le frère d'Eudes et fut élu roi de Francie occidentale en 922.
Investi du titre de duc des Francs en 892 par son fr√®re Eudes, ce dernier le nomme à la tête de plusieurs comt√©s, y compris le comt√© de Paris et la marche de Neustrie. Robert √©tait √©galement abb√© in commendam de plusieurs abbayes. Il ne revendiqua pas la couronne de France quand son fr√®re mourut en 898, mais il reconnut la pr√©tention du roi carolingien, Charles III le Simple, qui, selon Richer de Reims, le confirma duc des Francs[2],[3]. (Cette pr√©coce titulature de "duc des Francs" reste cependant sujette à caution[4]). Robert continua à d√©fendre le nord de la France contre les attaques des Normands.
La paix entre Charles III et Robert dura jusqu'en 921. Le clergé et les nobles s'irritèrent contre le roi Charles III qui favorisait particulièrement le comte Haganon (bien qu'il puisse s'agir d'un prétexte politique[5]).
Avec l'appui des nobles les plus puissants, Robert attaqua le roi Charles qui s'enfuit en Lorraine. Robert fut couronn√© roi des Francs à Reims par l'archevêque de Sens, Gautier, le dimanche 30 juin 922. Charles rassembla une arm√©e et marcha contre Robert, et le 15 juin 923, Robert fut tu√© par Fulbert, Faubert, Foubert[6] au cours de la bataille de Soissons. Selon certains comme Adalbert, archevêque de Magdebourg, continuateur de la chronique de R√©ginon de pr√ºm, Robert p√©rit de la main même de Charles[7].
Grâce au courage et au sang-froid du fils de Robert, Hugues le Grand, la victoire revint au clan des Robertiens et le roi Charles III ne put récupérer sa couronne. Les grands du royaume élurent alors Raoul, duc de Bourgogne, beau-fils du roi Robert Ier, comme roi des Francs. Il fut sacré le 13 juillet 923.
D'une première épouse nommée Aélis/Adèle du Maine, Robert avait eu :
1. Ad√®le, mari√©e avant 907 à Herbert II, comte de Vermandois
Il épousa ensuite Béatrice de Vermandois, fille d'Herbert Ier, comte de Vermandois et eut de celle-ci :
1. Emma, mariée vers 918 avec Raoul, duc de Bourgogne, puis roi de France. 2. Hugues le Grand, duc des Francs, qui fut le père d'Hugues Capet. 3. Richilde.

F, WERNER (La gen√®se des duch√©s en France et en Allemagne dans Nascita dell'Europa ed Europa Carolingia ... Settimane di studio..., XXVII, Spol√®te 1981, p. 298) que cette fonction s'applique, d√®s la fin IXe, plus à un regnum qu'à une marche proprement dite. Pour le sens à donner à demarchus (ou demarchio) et à trimarchio, nous avouons notre perplexit√© (voir, ci-dessous, à la Discussion, notre r√©ponse à Michel Parisse) et d'autant qu'il para√Æt constant, à la chancellerie royale elle-même, o√π seul demarchus appara√Æt, d'intituler indiff√©remment, d'un dipl√¥me à un autre, un même personnage tel Robert: demarchus (Ph.

Le titre de trimarchio appara√Æt dans un acte de Robert pour Marmoutier du 31 mars 914 dont K. F. Werner a d√©couvert un extrait d√ª à Dom Anselme Le Michel (Untersuchungen, op. cit.

ROBERT, son of ROBERT "le Fort" Comte [de Tours], Marquis en Neustrie & his wife --- ([860]-killed in battle near Soissons 15 Jun 923).
"Rodbertum fratrem Odonis regis" is named in the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[53].
He was installed as lay abbot of Marmoutier on the death of Hugues lမAbbé in 886[54].
He succeeded his brother in 888 as Marquis en Neustrie, and probably also as Comte de Paris, d'Orléans et de Tours. After his brother King Eudes captured Poitou in 893, he installed Robert as Comte de Poitou but the latter was expelled by Adémar, son of Comte Emenon[55].
Abbot of Saint-Martin de Tours: "Robert abbé de Saint-Martin" confirmed possessions of Saint-Martin de Tours by charter dated 30 Aug 894[56]. Eudes King of France granted the abbey of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers to the bishop of Poitiers, at the request of "marchionesဦHrobertusဦatque Ademarus", by charter dated to [894][57].
After the death of his brother in 898, Robert supported Charles III King of France who seems to have confirmed Robert's position in Neustrie. "Robert abbé de Saint-Martin" restored "l´hospice de Saint-Clément" to Saint-Martin de Tours by charter dated 900[58]. He rebelled against the king in 922, triggered by the confiscation of the monastery of Chelles by King Charles from Rothilde (who was the mother-in-law of Robert's son Hugues) in favour of his favourite Haganon.
He was elected ROBERT I King of France 22 Jun 922, consecrated at Reims by Gauthier Archbishop of Sens. King Robert was killed fighting ex-King Charles, although his forces won the battle[59].
The necrology of Chartres cathedral records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Rotbertus rex"[60]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Magloire records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Robertus rex"[61]. The necrology of Auxerre cathedral records that "Rotbertus rex" was killed in battle 15 Jun[62].
m firstly ---.
The name of Robert's first wife is not known. However, as King Robert's known wife Béatrix de Vermandois could not have been the mother of his daughter Adela (married to the brother of Béatrix) it is assumed that this earlier marriage is correct.
According to Europäische Stammtafeln[63], Robert's first wife was named AELIS. This may be based on the 21 May 907 donation of Rebais abbey to the church of Paris which refers to "comitis Rotberti et Adele comitisse"[64]. However, as shown below, this is more likely to refer to Robert and his daughter than his wife.
m secondly ([897]%29 BEATRIX de Vermandois, daughter of HERIBERT I Comte de Vermandois & his wife --- ([880/83]-after 26 Mar 931).
The Historia Francorum Senonensis records that "sororem Herberti" was the wife of "Robertus princeps" who rebelled against Charles III "le Simple" King of France[65]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that Duke Robert's wife was the sister of Héribert, by whom he had a son Hugues[66]. "Hugo rector Abbatiæ sancti Martini" names "genitoris nostri Rotberti quondam regis ac genitricis nostræ domnæ Beatricis" in his charter dated 26 Mar 931[67].
The marriage date is estimated by Werner on the assumption that the marriage accompanied the political reconciliation between Béatrix's father and Robert's uncle[68]. If the 907 donation mentioned above in fact refers to Robert's first wife, the marriage would of course have taken place after that date.
King Robert I & his first wife had one child:
1. [ADELA] (before 898-).
The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to "comitis Heriberti generဦRoberti" and in a later passage to the sister of "dux Hugo Cappatus" as the wife of "comitis Heriberti de Peroni, Campanie et Veromandie" but does not name her[69]. Her origin is confirmed by Flodoard naming "Hugo dux cum nepotibus suis, Heriberti filiis" in 943[70].
Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her first child in [915].
Her name is deduced as follows. The 21 May 907 donation of Rebais abbey to the church of Paris refers to "comitis Rotberti et Adele comitisse"[71]. Although this phrasing usually indicates husband and wife, Settipani suggests that the chronology of the life of King Robert's son Hugues (attested as Robert's son by his second wife Béatrix) favours his birth, and therefore his father's second marriage, well before 907, which would mean "Adele" could not have been Robert's wife. This reasoning appears based firstly on Hugues already being married in [914], and secondly on the probability of his having reached the age of majority when he was recognised as duke in 922. The 907 document is explained as referring to Robert and his elder daughter. The issue, however, is not beyond doubt, especially if the document in question was misdated.
m (before 21 May 907) HERIBERT II Comte de Vermandois, son of HERIBERT I Comte de Vermandois[-Carolingian] & his wife [Liedgardis] --- ([880]-23 Feb 943, bur Saint Quentin).
King Robert I & his [first/second] wife had one child:
2. EMMA (-2 Nov 934).
Flodoard names "Emma regis Rotberti filia" when recording that she obliged Seulf Archbishop of Reims to consecrate her as queen at Reims in 923 in the absence of her husband fighting[72]. Rodulfus Glaber names "Emmamဦsororemဦmagni Hugonis" as wife of "Rodulfus, Richardi ducis Burgundiæ filius", suggesting that she was instrumental in persuading her brother to support her husband's accession as king[73]. "Emme nostri imperii consortis" and "Emma coniux mea" is named in the charters of "Rodolfus Francorum rex" dated 21 Jun 931 and 1 Jul 931[74].
There is no indication whether Emma was born from her father's first or second marriage.
Flodoard records the death of "Emma regina" at the end of his passage dated 934[75]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "IV Non Nov" of "domna Emma regina"[76].
m ([911/19]%29 RODOLPHE [Raoul] Comte de Bourgogne, son of RICHARD လle Justicierဝ Duke of Burgundy & his wife Adélais dမAuxerre [Welf] (-Auxerre, Yonne 15/16 Jan 936, bur Abbaye de Sainte-Colombe de Sens).
He succeeded his father in 921 as Duke of Burgundy.
He was elected as RAOUL King of France in 13 Jul 923 at Soissons to succeed his father-in-law, consecrated by Gautier Archbishop of Sens at the Abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons.
King Robert I & his second wife had one child:
3. HUGUES ([898]-Dourdan, Essonne 16 Jun 956, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).

Robert I (född cirka 865, död 15 juni 923) var en frankisk robertingisk kung över v√§stfrankiska riket . Son till Robert den starke, hertig av Anjou; bror till Odo, hertig av Paris.

Genom sin bror Odo erhöll Robert fler grevskap inklusive grevskapet Paris och blev också utsedd till abbot in commendam vid många kloster och Robert sj√§lv s√§krade posten som hertig av frankerna, en viktig milit√§r titel. N√§r hans bror dog 898 gjorde inte Robert anspråk på broderns titel som kung, utan accepterade den karolingiske tronpretendenten Karl den enfaldiges överhöghet. Detta gjorde han kunde behålla sina poster och egendomar och forts√§tta att bek√§mpa attackerna från vikingar.
Friden mellan kungen och hans m√§ktiga rival varade √§nda till 921 då Karls styre, och s√§rkskilt hans svaghet för en viss Hagano, v√§ckte sådan irritation hos pr√§sterskapet och många av de m√§ktigaste adelsm√§nnen att Robert tog till vapen och fördrev Karl till Lothringen. Robert kröntes till kung i Reims 28 juni 922. Karl st√§llde dock upp en arm√© och gick till motangrepp och i n√§rheten av Soissons 15 juni 923 drabbade rivalerna samman. Robert blev dödad i striden, enligt traditionen i en kamp man mot man med sin rival.
Robert efterl√§mnade en son Hugo den store vars son Hugo Capet kom att överta tronen från den karolingiska √§tten.

Foi representante de Odo (seu irm√£o) em de diversos condados, incluindo o condado de Paris, abade superior de muitas abadias, e Duque dos Francos, uma dignidade militar de import√¢ncia elevada.

N√£o reivindicou a Coroa de Fran√ßa quando seu irm√£o morreu em 898 mas, reconhecendo a supremacia do rei carolíngio, Carlos III, o Simples, teve confirmadas as suas posses territoriais, tendo, depois, continuado a defender o norte de Fran√ßa dos ataques dos Normandos.
A paz entre o Rei e seu poderoso vassalo não foi perturbada seriamente até aproximadamente 921. As ações de Carlos e, em especial a sua parcialidade a favor de um tal de Hagano, despertaram-lhe alguma impopularidade e, apoiado por muitos do clérigos e por diversos dos mais poderosos nobres franceses, Roberto se fez coroar Rei francês em Reims, no dia 29 de junho de 922.
Comandando um poderoso exército, Carlos marchou de encontro ao usurpador, e no dia 15 de junho de 923, em uma batalha sanguinária perto de Soissons, Roberto foi morto, de acordo com a tradição, em combate com seu rival.
Roberto I deixou um filho, Hugo, o Grande, Duque dos francos, e seu neto, Hugo Capeto, futuro Rei da França e fundador da Dinastia dos Capetos.

Robert I of France From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert I (August 15, 866 ဓ June 15, 923), king of West Francia (922 ဓ 923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888. West Francia evolved over time into France; under Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians. He was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen. The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on June 29, 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper and, on June 15 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival. Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis, a descendant of Charlemagne, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894ဓ935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895ဓ931) to Herbert II of Vermandois. Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.

Robert I van Bourgondië (?, 865 - Soissons, 15 juni 923) was de jongste zoon van Robert de Sterke van Anjou en een broer van Odo I van Frankrijk.
Hij werd door Odo benoemd als hoofd van verschillende graafschappen, waaronder Parijs en Neustrië. Robert was ook abt in commendam van verschillende abdijen en verwierf het hertogdom der Franken, een belangrijke militaire graad. Robert eiste de Franse kroon niet op bij het overlijden van zijn broer in 898, maar erkende in tegendeel de aanspraken van de Karolingische vorst Karel III en bleef Noord-Frankrijk tegen de Noormannen verdedigen. De vrede tussen Karel de Eenvoudige en Robert bleef duren tot in 921. De geestelijkheid en de adel werden boos op Karel, die graaf Hagano bevoordeelde en met de hulp van de belangrijkste edelen voerde Robert een aanval uit op koning Karel III, die naar Lotharingen vluchtte en Robert werd op 30 juni 922 in Reims tot koning gekroond. Karel verzamelde nu een leger en trok tegen Robert op en op 15 juni 923 overwon hij hem en doodde hem in Soissons tijdens een duel.

Robert I (född cirka 865, död 15 juni 923) var en frankisk robertingisk kung över v√§stfrankiska riket . Son till Robert den starke, hertig av Anjou; bror till Odo, hertig av Paris.
Genom sin bror Odo erhöll Robert fler grevskap inklusive grevskapet Paris och blev också utsedd till abbot in commendam vid många kloster och Robert sj√§lv s√§krade posten som hertig av frankerna, en viktig milit√§r titel. N√§r hans bror dog 898 gjorde inte Robert anspråk på broderns titel som kung, utan accepterade den karolingiske tronpretendenten Karl den enfaldiges överhöghet. Detta gjorde han kunde behålla sina poster och egendomar och forts√§tta att bek√§mpa attackerna från vikingar.
Friden mellan kungen och hans m√§ktiga rival varade √§nda till 921 då Karls styre, och s√§rkskilt hans svaghet för en viss Hagano, v√§ckte sådan irritation hos pr√§sterskapet och många av de m√§ktigaste adelsm√§nnen att Robert tog till vapen och fördrev Karl till Lothringen. Robert kröntes till kung i Reims 28 juni 922. Karl st√§llde dock upp en arm√© och gick till motangrepp och i n√§rheten av Soissons 15 juni 923 drabbade rivalerna samman. Robert blev dödad i striden, enligt traditionen i en kamp man mot man med sin rival.
Robert efterl√§mnade en son Hugo den store vars son Hugo Capet kom att överta tronen från den karolingiska √§tten
Västfrankiska riket
V√§stfrankiska riket, ett historiskt rike, bildat ca 843 som omfattade ungef√§r det område som utgör dagens Frankrike till skillnad från det östfrankiska riket som ungef√§r motsvarar dagens Tyskland och √ñsterrike och blev det tysk-romerska riket.
Frankerriket har sin upprinnelse i de frankiska stammarnas landområde, och blev en tydligare statsbildning under den merovingska dynastin. Ett par århundraden utvidgade Karl den store riket avsev√§rt. Tre av hans sonsöner delade i fördraget i Verdun 843 riket mellan sig i det v√§stfrankiska, östfrankiska och lotharingska (hertigdömet Lorraine) rikena. Detta fördrag ersattes år 870 av fördraget i Meerssen. Det v√§stfrankiska riket styrdes d√§refter av karolingerna t o m Ludvig l√§ttingen som fick l√§mna tronen till Hugo Capet som blev stamfader till den capetingska √§tten. Det v√§stfrankiska riket börjar under de n√§rmaste århundradena att betraktas som Frankrike.

Robert I (15 August 866 ·Äì 15 June 923), King of Western Francia (922·Äì923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888. West Francia evolved over time into France; under Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians.
He was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen.
The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims on 29 June 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper and, on 15 June 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival. His army nonetheless won the battle, and Charles was captured.

Count of Paris, Margrave of Neustria (and later at King of the Franks)
Robert I (c. 865 - June 15, 923), king of Western Francia, or king of the Franks, was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, or Eudes, who became king of the western Franks in 888.
He was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of duke of the Franks, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of Western Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognizing the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles III, the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Normans.
The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Hagano, had aroused some irritation; and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks at Reims on June 29, 922. Collecting an army, Charles marched against the usurper, and on June 15 923, in a stubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival.

About Robert I de Neustria, King of France Robert I (866ဓ923), King of Western Francia (922ဓ923). Before succeeding his brother Odo as King he was the Count of Poitiers, Marquis of Neustria and Orléans and Count of Paris. Robert was born in 866 as the youngest son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888. West Francia evolved over time into France; under Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians. He was present at the Siege of Paris in 885.[4] Appointed by Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen.

He thus secured a good landed base for expansion. He had the advantage over Baldwin I of Flanders, whose career started in much the same way, in that Herbert was a Carolingian in his own right, the grandson of Pippin, King of Italy. It was probably this that led Robert of Neustria, who aspired to enhance his family's standing, to take Herbert's daughter as his second wife, and also to marry his daughter (by his first wife) Adela to Herbert's son Herbert II, giving him the county of Meaux and possibly also Mezerais as her dowry. Herbert II, as a consequence, controlled a stretch of territory in the surroundings of Paris, in the heart of what had once been Eudes' power base.

Ben M. Angel notes: Robert I was never a Capet (this was a family name created by Hugh Capet, based on a place name). The name of his family or dynasty was "Robertian" (from Robert Le Fort, his father). He was to the best of my understanding never nicknamed "Le Grand". Please indicate the source you are using here if this is contrary to your information.
From the English Wikipedia page on Robert I of France: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_I_of_France with excerpts from the French Wikipedia page not included in the English article: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Ier_de_France
Robert I (15 August 866 ·Äì 15 June 923), King of Western Francia (922 ·Äì 923), was the younger son of Robert the Strong, count of Anjou, and the brother of Odo, who became king of the Western Franks in 888.
West Francia evolved over time into France; under King Odo, the capital was fixed on Paris, a large step in that direction. His family is known as the Robertians.
Robert was present at the Siege of Paris in 885. Appointed by King Odo ruler of several counties, including the county of Paris, the March of Neustria, and abbot in commendam of many abbeys, Robert also secured the office of Dux Francorum, a military dignity of high importance. He did not claim the crown of West Francia when his brother died in 898; but recognising the supremacy of the Carolingian king, Charles III the Simple, he was confirmed in his offices and possessions, after which he continued to defend northern Francia from the attacks of the Norsemen.
The peace between the king and his powerful vassal was not seriously disturbed until about 921. The rule of King Charles, and especially his partiality for a certain Comte Hagano had aroused some irritation (he was made into Charles' principle advisor and favorite - the French Wikipedia page suggests Hagano served merely as a pretext for a premeditated bid for power); and, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerful of the Frankish nobles, Robert took up arms, drove Charles III into Lorraine, and was himself crowned king of the Franks (rex Francorum) at Rheims (crowned by Gautier Archbishop of Sens) on Sunday 30 June 922.
Collecting an army, Charles III marched against the usurper and, on 15 June 923, in the stubborn and sanguinary Battle of Soissons (near the city of the same name), Robert I was killed, according to one tradition in single combat with his rival (the French Wikipedia page says this was Fulbert, Faubert, or Foubert).
(The French Wikipedia continues the story, saying that Robert's son, Hugh the Great, denied Charles III the Simple his victory, preventing him from recovering the crown of Western Francia. The nobility instead elect Raoul Duke of Burgundy, stepson of Robert I; he was consecrated on 13 July 923.)
Robert was married twice. Through his first wife, Aelis/Adele du Maine, he had two daughters. Each married powerful lay vassals of their father: Emma of France (894·Äì935) to Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy, and Hildebranda (895·Äì931) to Herbert II of Vermandois.
Through his second wife, Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois, he had his only son, Hugh the Great, who was later dux Francorum and father of King Hugh Capet, and a daughter Richilda. He may have had other daughters.
