Note	Called Robert the Pious. He was educated at Reims under the French scholar Gerbert, who later became Pope Sylvester II. Pope Gregory V (died 999) excommunicated him and annulled his marriage, which was considered incestuous by the Church; in 1003 Robert submitted to the Pope and married the daughter of the marquis of Provence. He recognized Hugh, the eldest of these sons, as his successor. After Hugh's Death in 1025, the other sons, aided by their mother, revolted; Robert was still fighting them at the time of his own Death. Robert was called The Pious because of his humility and charity; he was also esteemed as a soldier and ruler.
