Hugues Capet

né vers 939-941 probablement à Dourdan, mort le 24 octobre 996 probablement au lieu-dit « le Juif » dépendant de l'abbaye de Saint-Martin de Tours., près de Prasville, duc des Francs (960-987), puis roi des Francs (987-996), fut le premier souverain de la dynastie capétienne.
Il accède à la royauté, après la mort de Louis V, quand l'assemblée des grands du royaume, réunie à Noyon, le 1er juin 987, le choisit contre son rival Charles de Basse-Lorraine, le « prétendant » des Carolingiens.

Hugues Capet

born around 939-941 probably in Dourdan, died on 24 October 996 probably in the place called «the Jew» dependent of the abbey of Saint-Martin de Tours., near Prasville, duke of the Francs (960-987), then king of the Franks (987-996), was the first ruler of the Capetian dynasty.
He acceded to the kingship after the death of Louis V, when the assembly of the great rulers of the kingdom, meeting at Noyon on 1 June 987, chose him against his rival Charles of Lower Lorraine, the «pretender» of the Carolingians. A month later, it is consecrated by the archbishop of Reims, Adalbéron. The first Capetian seems, according to the testimonies of his contemporaries, to be of a vigorous physique, quick-witted, even cunning, of a great familiarity with his subjects of which he is loved , very pious one has nicknamed him the «king-priest», he is respectful but firm towards the Church and the clergy who contributed to his advent. His wife, the intelligent and diplomatic Queen Adelaide, seems to have helped him with her wise advice.
Hugues Capet’s power is however weak against the surrounding lords, who flout his authority, and especially in comparison to the powerful counts of Toulouse, Flanders, Anjou or the duke of Normandy. Hugues Capet had the merit of having passed the crown to his son: on the pretext of an attack by the Muslims against the count of Barcelona, who had called for his help, and alleging the risk of his death, he elected and crowned, as early as 987, his eldest son, Robert.
