Robert I (b. c. 865--d. June 15, 923, Soissons, Fr.), younger son ofRobert the Strong of Neustria, and briefly king of France (922-923), orWest Francia. His decisive victory over the Northmen at Chartres (911)led to a treaty settling one group of these fierce warriors in Normandy.Robert faithfully served his older brother, King Eudes, during Eudes'sreign (888-898). Though on Eudes's death he became one of the mostpowerful Frankish lords, inheriting all the family lands between theSeine and the Loire rivers, he swore fealty with other magnates to thenew king, the Carolingian Charles III the Simple. Nevertheless, he wasalready served in his domains by viscounts, officials usually regarded asinstruments of regal power. From 911 onward, his role became moredecisive: his defeat of the Northmen at Chartres paved the way for theTreaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte, by which Charles assigned them territoryin Normandy. Robert's military success greatly enhanced his prestige, anddissension between him and the King became undisguised. When Charles IIIimprudently offered preferment exclusively to lords from Lorraine, theNeustrian lords, led by Robert, broke into open revolt. About 921,Robert, supported by many of the clergy and by some of the most powerfulFrankish nobles, took up arms, drove Charles into Lorraine, and washimself crowned king of the Franks at Reims on June 29, 922. Collectingan army, Charles marched against the usurper, and on June 15, 923, in astubborn and sanguinary battle near Soissons, Robert was killed,according to one tradition, in single combat with his rival. Robert lefta son, Hugh the Great, duke of the Franks, and his grandson was HughCapet, king of France. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
