Hugh, Duke Of Burgundy
Hugh the Black (died 952) was Duke of Burgundy from 923 until his death in 952. He was a Bosonid through his father, who was the younger brother of Boso of Provence. Hugh was the son of Richard of Autun, Duke of Burgundy, and Adelaide of Auxerre. He succeeded his older brother Rudolph as Duke of Burgundy, when Rudolph was elected king of West Francia, as Raoul, in 923. Following Raoul's death in 936, Hugh may have had aspirations to follow his brother onto the throne and refused to recognize Louis IV as king of West Francia. As a result, Louis sent Hugh the Great who captured Auxerre and Sens. The Duchy of Burgundy was divided between Hugh the Great and Hugh the Black. It is unknown whether Hugh married. He probably died without living offspring, as he was succeeded by Gilbert of Chalon, who became the ruler of the Duchy of Burgundy ''de facto'' (he was not Duke ''de jure'').

The first great scion of the dynasty was Boso of Provence, Boso V, Count of Arles and of other Burgundians, Burgundian counties in the mid-9th century. Boso rose in favour as a courtier of Charles the Bald. He was even appointed viceroy in Regnum Italicum, Italy in 875. After the death of Charles' son Louis II of France, Louis II, Boso refused to recognise both Louis' sons, Carloman of France, Carloman and Louis III of France, Louis III as kings of France and proclaimed himself King of Provence in 879 at Vienne, Isère, Vienne, with the support of the nobility. Boso strove throughout the rest of his life to maintain his title in the face of the Emperor Charles III.

Louis IV Of France
Louis IV (September 920 / September 921 – 10 September 954), called ''d'Outremer'' or ''Transmarinus'' (both meaning "from overseas"), reigned as King of West Francia from 936 to 954. A member of the Carolingian dynasty, he was the only son of king Charles the Simple and his second wife Eadgifu of Wessex, daughter of King Edward the Elder of Wessex. His reign is mostly known thanks to the Annals of Flodoard and the later ''Historiae'' of Richerus. Childhood Louis was born to King Charles III and his 2nd wife Eadgifu, in the heartlands of West Francia's Carolingian lands between Laon and Reims in 920 or 921. He was descended both from Charlemagne and King Alfred the Great. From his father's first marriage with Frederuna (d. 917) he had six older half-sisters. After the dethronement and capture of Charles the Simple in 923, following his defeat at the Battle of Soissons, queen Eadgifu and her infant son took refuge in Wessex (for this he received the nickname of ''d'Outre ...

Richard, Duke Of Burgundy
Richard, Duke of Burgundy (858–921), also known as Richard of Autun or Richard the Justiciar, was Count of Autun from 880 and the first Margrave and Duke of Burgundy. He eventually attained suzerainty over all the counties of Burgundy save Mâcon and by 890 he was referred to as ''dux'' (duke) and by 900 as ''marchio'' (margrave). By 918 he was being called ''dux Burgundionem'' or ''dux Burgundiae'', which probably signified less the existence of a unified Burgundian dukedom than feudal suzerainty over a multiplicity of counties in a specific region. Life Richard was a Bosonid, the son of Bivin of Gorze and Richildis. His elder brother was Boso of Provence and his younger sister was Richildis, second wife of Charles the Bald. In 875, after the death of the Emperor Louis II, Richard and Boso accompanied Charles to Italy for his imperial coronation. In February 876, in Pavia, while preparing for his return journey, Charles nominated Boso "Duke and Viceroy of Italy and Duke o ...

Raoul Of France
Rudolph (french: Rodolphe), sometimes called Ralph (; c. 890 – 14/15 January 936), was the king of France from 923 until his death in 936. He was elected to succeed his father-in-law, Robert I, and spent much of his reign defending his realm from Viking raids. Name In contemporary Latin documents, his name is usually ''Rodulfus'', from the Germanic roots ''hruod'', "fame, glory", and ''wulf'', "wolf". Rodulf and Rudolf are variants of this name; the French form is ''Rodolphe''. By contrast, the king is normally known as ''Raoul'' in modern French, a name which derives from ''Radulfus'', from Germanic ''rad'', "counsel", and ''wulf'' (whence Ralph). Although this name is of different origin, it was sometimes used interchangeably by contemporaries with ''Rodulfus''. The king himself, however, always used ''Rodulfus'', as on his personal seal. Nonetheless, he is sometimes called Ralph (from ''Raoul'') or Radulf in English. Background Rudolph was born around 890, the son of Richa ...
