Hugh was elected King of France in June 987 and was crowned at Noyon on 3 July 987. Founded the Capetian Dynasty which ruled France until 1328. Ancestor of the Bourbon Dynasty that ruled france until 1848.
The election of Hugh as King by the French nobles marked the end of the struggle between the nobility and the last feeble heirs of the Carolingian line. As king, Hugh had certain powers but they were more theoretical than real. The only lands he actually ruled over were those he inherited as Count of Paris.
