Robert II, Count Of Worms
Robert II (Rodbert, Chrodobert) (died 12 July 807) was a Frankish nobleman who was count of Worms and of Rheingau and count of Hesbaye around the year 800. It has been proposed that he is the father of Robert III of Worms, and the earliest-known male-line ancestor of the French royal family, the so-called Capetians (including the Valois and the Bourbons), and of other royal families which ruled in Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, Parma, Brazil and the Two Sicilies. Possible ancestry Robert was probably the son of Thuringbert of Worms and Rheingau, and thus a grandson of Robert I, Duke of Neustria (c. 697–748). An alternate theory has him as the son of Robert, son of Thuringbert. It is also possible that Ingerman of Hesbaye and Cancor were the brothers of Robert of Hesbaye, and Landrada, mother of Saint Chrodegang, archbishop of Metz, is likely to have been his sister.

Franks
file:Frankish arms.JPG, Aristocratic Frankish burial items from the Merovingian dynasty The Franks ( or ; ; ) were originally a group of Germanic peoples who lived near the Rhine river, Rhine-river military border of Germania Inferior, which was the most northerly province of the Roman Empire in continental Europe. These Frankish tribes lived for centuries under varying degrees of Roman hegemony and influence, but after the collapse of Roman institutions in western Europe they took control of a large empire including areas which had been ruled by Rome, and what it meant to be a Frank began to evolve. Once they were deeply established in Gaul, the Franks became a multilingual, Catholic Christian people, who subsequently came to rule over several other post-Roman kingdoms both inside and outside the old empire. In a broader sense much of the population of western Europe could eventually described as Franks in some contexts. The term "Frank" itself first appeared in the third cent ...

Kingdom Of The Two Sicilies
The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies () was a kingdom in Southern Italy from 1816 to 1861 under the control of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies, a cadet branch of the House of Bourbon, Bourbons. The kingdom was the largest sovereign state by population and land area in Italy before the Italian unification, comprising Sicily and most of the area of today's ''Mezzogiorno'' (southern Italy) and covering all of the Italian peninsula south of the Papal States. The kingdom was formed when the Kingdom of Sicily merged with the Kingdom of Naples, which was officially also known as the Kingdom of Sicily. Since both kingdoms were named Sicily, they were collectively known as the "Two Sicilies" (''Utraque Sicilia'', literally "both Sicilies"), and the unified kingdom adopted this name. The king of the Two Sicilies was Expedition of the Thousand, overthrown by Giuseppe Garibaldi in 1860, after which the people voted in a plebiscite to join the Kingdom of Sardinia (1720–1861), Kingdom of Sardi ...

Robertians
The Robertians (sometimes called the Robertines in modern scholarship) are a proposed Frankish noble family and royal dynasty, whose members were ancestors of the Capetian dynasty that ruled over the Kingdom of France and several other countries (currently Spain and Luxembourg). Prominent Robertian ancestors of the Capetian dynasty appear in historical records as powerful nobles serving under various rulers of the Carolingian dynasty, mainly in West Francia, which later became France. Most notable of them were: the eponymous count Robert the Strong (d. 866) and his sons, West Frankish kings Odo (888-898) and Robert I (922-923), whose son - duke Hugh the Great was father to the first Capetian king Hugh Capet (987–996). Origin The ancestry of count Robert the Strong (d. 866) is not certain, and it has been the subject of various genealogical assumptions and historical studies. Robert's origins remain unclear, but medieval records hint at an origin in Austrasia, or East Fra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cancor
Cancor (died 771) was a Frankish count associated with Lorsch Abbey. He was son of a noble lady Williswinda. Since Williswinda's only known husband before being widowed was named Robert (Rodbert), it has been proposed that Cancor was a son of Count Robert I of Hesbaye, who lived in the 8th century. Robert II of Hesbaye may have been his brother or his nephew. Together with his widowed mother Williswinda, Cancor founded Lorsch Abbey in 764, as a proprietary church and monastery on their estate ''Laurissa'' ( Lorsch). They entrusted its government to Cancor's cousin Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz. Chrodegang dedicated the church and monastery to Saint Peter and became its first abbot. The founders later enriched the new abbey with further donations. In 766, shortly before his death, Chrodegang resigned as Abbot of Lorsch (owing to his duties as Bishop of Metz) and sent his brother Gundeland, another nephew of Cancor, to Lorsch as his successor. Cancor married a noblewoman named An ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
