Name ROBERTIEN, Robert Rutpert Magnus Strong Marquis Title Charles made peace with Robert and appointed him Count of Anjou. Thereafter Robert successfully defended the northern coast against a Viking invasion. Birth 820 Nevers, Nièvre, Bourgogne, France Gender Male Misc He was the father of two kings of West Francia Odo (or Eudes) and Robert I of France. Robert the Strong was the great-grandfather of Hugh Capet and thus the ancestor of all the Capetians. Misc His family is named after him and called the Robertians. Immigration 850 During the reign of Louis the German in East Francia, the Robertian family emigrated from East Francia to West Francia. Misc 853 Robert's rise came at the expense of the established family of the Rorigonids and was designed to curb their regional power and to defend Neustria from Viking and Breton raids. Misc 858 Revolt sparked by a marriage alliance between Charles and Erispoe, Duke of Brittany, and by the investment of Charles’ son, Louis the Stammerer, with the regnum Neustriae, all which significantly curtailed the powers of both Salomon and Robert. Title After their arrival in his realm Charles the Bald rewarded the family defecting from his enemy by assigning to Robert the lay abbacy of Marmoutier in 852. Title Margrave in Neustria. In 853 he was named missus dominicus (Latin for "ruler" overseer of administration and justice) by Charles the Bald, King of West Francia.
