Hugh Capet〔Capet is a byname of uncertain meaning distinguishing him from his father Hugh the Great. Folk etymology connects it with "cape." According to Pinoteau, the name "Capet" was first attributed to the dynasty by Ralph de Diceto writing in London in 1200, maybe because of the position of the early kings as lay abbots of St Martin of Tours, where part of the "cappa" of the saint was allegedly conserved. Other suggested etymologies derive it from terms for chief, mocker or big head. His father's byname is presumed to have been retrospective, meaning Hugh the Elder, this Hugh being Hugh the Younger, Capet being a 12th-century addition. See: James, ''The Origins of France'', p. 183.〕〔Although called ''Hugo Magnus'' in at least one contemporary source, a charter of 995 (documented ''in'' Jonathan Jarrett, (“Sales, Swindles and Sanctions: Bishop Sal·la of Urgell and the Counts of Catalonia” ), International Medieval Congress, Leeds, 11 July 2005, published in the Appendix, ''Pathways of Power in late-Carolingian Catalonia'', PhD dissertation, Birkbeck College (2006), page 295), the epithet "Hugh the Great" is generally reserved for his father the Duke of France (898 – 956). 〕 (c. 941 – 24 October 996) was the first King of the Franks of the House of Capet from his election in 987 until his death. He succeeded the last Carolingian king, Louis V. ==Descent and inheritance== The son of Hugh the Great, Duke of the Franks, and Hedwige of Saxony, daughter of the German king Henry the Fowler, Hugh was born in 941.〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band II (Marburg, Germany: J. A. Stargardt, 1984), Tafeln 10, 11〕 Through his mother, Hugh was the nephew to: Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor; Henry I, Duke of Bavaria; Bruno the Great, Archbishop of Cologne; and finally, Gerberga of Saxony, Queen of France. Gerberga was the wife of Louis IV, King of France and mother of Lothair of France and Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine. His paternal family, the Robertians, were powerful landowners in the Île-de-France.〔Jim Bradbury, ''The Capetians: Kings of France, 987-1328'', (London: Hambledon Continuum, 2007), p. 69〕 His grandfather had been King Robert I.〔 King Odo was his granduncle and King Rudolph was his uncle by affinity.〔Pierre Riché, ''The Carolingians; A Family Who Forged Europe, trans. Michael Idomir Allen (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1993), p. 371〕 Hugh was a seventh-generation descendant of Charlemagne as follows:〔〔Pierre Riché, ''The Carolingians; A Family Who Forged Europe'', trans.
