Hugh Capet of France (r.987-996) (jan 1, 987 – jan 1, 996)
Description:
Carolingians are displaced and Capetians continue to rule France until the 14th centuryRuling from Ile-de-France, they represented the idea of unity and God-given rule inherited from Charlemagne. Most of the counts and dukes—at least those in the north of France—swore homage and fealty to the king, a gesture, however weak, of personal support.
