Hugh the Great (898 – 16 June 956) was the Duke of the Franks and Count of Paris. He was the son of King Robert I of France and Béatrice of Vermandois, daughter of Herbert I, Count of Vermandois.〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band II (Verlag von J. A. Stargardt, Marburg, Germany, 1984), Tafeln 10-11〕 He was born in Paris, Île-de-France, France. His eldest son was Hugh Capet who became King of France in 987.〔Jim Bradbury, ''The Capetians: Kings of France, 987-1328'' (Hambledon Continuum, London & New York, 2007), p. 69〕 His family is known as the Robertians.〔Lucien Bély, ''The History of France'' ( J.P. Gisserot, Paris, 2001), p. 21〕 In 922 the barons of western Francia, after revolting against the Carolingian king Charles the Simple (who fled his kingdom under their onslaught), elected Robert I, Hugh's father, as King of Western Francia.〔Pierre Riché, ''The Carolingians; A Family who Forged Europe'', Trans. Michael Idomir Allen (University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, 1993), p.250〕 At the death of Robert I, in battle at Soissons in 923, Hugh refused the crown and it went to his brother-in-law, Rudolph of France.〔 Charles, however, sought help in regaining his crown from his cousin Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, who instead of helping the king imprisoned him.〔 Herbert then used his prisoner as an advantage in pressing his own ambitions, using the threat of releasing the king up until Charles' death in 929.〔Pierre Riché, ''The Carolingians; A Family who Forged Europe'', Trans. Michael Idomir Allen (University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, 1993), pp.250-1〕 From then on Herbert II of Vermandois struggled with king Rudolph and his vassal Hugh the Great.〔 Finally Rudolph and Herbert II came to an agreement in 935.〔 At the death of Rudolph, King of Western Francia, in 936, Hugh was in possession of nearly all of the region between the Loire and the Seine, corresponding to the ancient Neustria, with the exceptions of Anjou and of the territory ceded to the Normans in 911.〔Elizabeth M. Hallam, ''Capetian France; 987-1328'' (Longman Group Ltd., London & New York, 1980), p. 89〕 He took a very active part in bringing Louis IV (''d'Outremer'') from the Kingdom of England in 936.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims: 919-966'', Ed. & Trans. Stephen Fanning & Bernard S. Bachrach (University of Toronto Press, 2011), p. xvii〕 In 937 Hugh married Hedwige of Saxony, a daughter of Henry the Fowler of Germany and Matilda, and soon quarrelled with Louis.〔Pierre Riché, ''The Carolingians; A Family who Forged Europe'', Trans. Michael Idomir Allen (University of Pennsylvania Press, Philadelphia, 1993), p.262〕 In 938 King Louis IV began attacking fortresses and lands formerly held by members of his family, some held by Herbert II of Vermandois.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims; 919-966'', Ed. & Trans. Steven Fanning & Bernard S. Bachrach (University of Toronto Press, 2011), p. 30〕 In 939 king Louis attacked Hugh the Great and William I, Duke of Normandy, after which a truce was concluded lasting until June.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims; 919-966'', Ed. & Trans. Steven Fanning & Bernard S. Bachrach (University of Toronto Press, 2011), p. 31〕 That same year Hugh, along with Herbert II of Vermandois, Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and Duke William Longsword paid homage to the Emperor Otto the Great, and supported him in his struggle against Louis.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims; 919-966'', Ed. & Trans. Steven Fanning & Bernard S. Bachrach (University of Toronto Press, 2011), p. 32〕 When Louis fell into the hands of the Normans in 945, he was handed over to Hugh in exchange for their young duke Richard.〔David Crouch, ''The Normans'' (Hambledon Continuum, London & New York, 2007), p. 16〕 Hugh released Louis IV in 946 on condition that he should surrender the fortress of Laon.〔Jim Bradbury, ''The Capetians: Kings of France, 987-1328'' (Hambledon Continuum, London & New York, 2007), p. 40〕 In 948 at a church council at Ingelheim the bishops, all but two being from Germany, condemned and excommunicated Hugh ''in absentia'', and returned Archbishop Artauld to his see at Reims.〔Jim Bradbury, ''The Capetians: Kings of France, 987-1328'' (Hambledon Continuum, London & New York, 2007), p. 41〕 Hugh's response was to attack Soissons and Reims while the excommunication was repeated by a council at Trier.〔 Hugh finally relented and made peace with Louis IV, the church and his brother-in-law Otto the Great.〔 On the death of Louis IV, Hugh was one of the first to recognize Lothair as his successor, and, at the intervention of Queen Gerberga, was instrumental in having him crowned.〔 In recognition of this service Hugh was invested by the new king with the duchies of Burgundy and Aquitaine.〔Jim Bradbury, ''The Capetians: Kings of France, 987-1328'' (Hambledon Continuum, London & New York, 2007), p. 42〕 In the same year, however, Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, acknowledged himself his vassal and betrothed his daughter to Hugh's son Otto-Henry.〔 On 16 June 956 Hugh the Great died in Dourdan.〔 ==Family== Hugh married first, in 922, Judith, daughter of Roger Comte du Maine & his wife Rothilde.〔 She died childless in 925.〔 Hugh's second wife was Eadhild, daughter of Edward the Elder, king of the Anglo-Saxons, and sister of King Æthelstan.〔 They married in 926 and she died in 938, childless.〔 Hugh's third wife was Hedwig of Saxony, daughter of Henry the Fowler and Matilda She and Hugh had: * Beatrice married Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine.〔By his daughter Beatrice's marriage to Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine Hugh became an ancestor of the Habsburg family. From their son Hugh Capet sprung forth the Capetian dynasty, one of the most powerful dynasties in Europe.〕〔 * Hugh Capet.〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band II (Verlag von J.
