Count of Paris, Count de Blois

Duke of Neustria

His ancestory is a matter of hot dispute.  Possible a descendant of Charles
Martel.  The genealogy from the "Dictionary of Royal Lineage" has Robert's
father as Theotbert, Count of Autun.

Weis' "AR", which reflects a more recent opinion has his pedigree as I've
shown it here (48:17)(181:6), calls him Rutpert IV, Count in Wormgau, of
Anjou, Blois, Tours, Auxere, and Nevers, killed 15 Sep 866.

Richard Borthwick postes to www: "The matter was one of great debate but quite
some time ago.  The crucial study was done by K Glockner 'Lorsch and
Lothringen' in 'Zeitschrift fur die Geschichte des Oberrheins', 89 1936/37,
301-54.  The identification of Rutpert IV count in the Oberrheingau with Robert
count of Paris is now considered most likely.  Robert like many other
Lotharingian nobles entered the service of Charles the Bald in 852 following
territorial squabbles between Charles and his brothers.  You may find an
