  Capet - LoveToKnow 1911
CAPET, the name of a family to which, for nearly nine centuries, the kings of France, and many of the rulers of the most powerful fiefs in that country, belonged, and which mingled with several of the other royal races of Europe.
The real founder of the house, however, was Robert the Strong, who received from Charles the Bald, king of the Franks, the countships of Anjou and Blois, and who is sometimes called duke, as he exercised some military authority in the district between the Seine and the Loire.
This house merged in that of Valois in 1383, by the marriage of Margaret, daughter of Louis, count of Artois, with Philip the Bold, duke of Burgundy.

 France: History - LoveToKnow 1911
To check the Bretons and the Normans, who were attacking from the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Charles the Bald found himself obliged to entrust the defence of the country to Robert the Strong, ancestor of the house of Capet and duke of the lands between Loire and Seine.
Hugh Capet needed more than three years and the betrayal of his enemy into his hands before he could parry the attack of a quite second-rate adversary, Charles of Lorraine (990), the last descendant of Charlemagne.
Northern and eastern France recognized the suzerainty of the Capet, and Philip Augustus was now bold enough to attack Henry II., the master of the west, whose friendly neutrality (assured by the treaty of Gisors) had made possible the successive defeats of the great French barons.

 Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 85, FRANCE: Library of Economics and Liberty
Royalty of the house of Capet, so long as it was simply feudal, found in its own treasury, that is, in the revenue of its domains, the money necessary for its seignioral duties; but when it reigned, governed, made laws, embraced a policy, it needed an army, it needed subsidies.

 H-Net Multimedia Reviews: Antoine Capet on Kelmscott House
Kelmscott House, a plain Georgian brick dwelling which was William Morris's London home from 1878 to his death in 1896, is located on the banks of the Thames in the West London borough of Hammersmith.
The house is now the property of the William Morris Society, which rents out the upper floors for income, keeping the basement and coach house as its headquarters.
Kelmscott House does therefore undoubtedly deserve a special trip to Hammersmith for the serious William Morris enthusiast, but anybody interested in the Arts & Crafts movement or the British Socialist movement or both will find a visit rewarding--the more so as it is situated in quiet unspoilt surroundings, with architecturally interesting old dwellings around it.

[House of the Amber Moon] While the submitter did give evidence that amber was used as a color towards the end of our period (although only in a poem), she did not give any evidence showing that Moon is a reasonable household name, i.e., a name consistent with some period organized group of people.
Submitted as House of the Hidden Grove, Ensign was able to justify the form without the "of the"; as the meaning was most important to the submitters, we have dropped them to register the household name.
