	Hugh Capet - LoveToKnow 1911
		Hugh was worsted during the earlier part of this struggle, and was in serious straits, until he was saved by the wiles of his partisan Adalberon, bishop of Laon, who in 991 treacherously seized Charles and handed him over to the king.
		Hugh and his bishops remained firm, and the dispute was still in progress when the king died at Paris on the 24th of October 996.
		Hugh was a devoted son of the church, to which, it is not too much to say, he owed his throne.

	Hugh Capet
		Executive summary: King of France 987-96 AD Hugh Capet, King of France and founder of the Capetian dynasty, was the eldest son of Hugh the Great by his wife Hadwig.
		Hugh supported his royal suzerain when Lothair and the emperor Otto II fought for the possession of Lorraine; but chagrined at the king's conduct in making peace in 980, he went to Rome to conclude an alliance with Otto.
		Laying more stress upon independence than upon loyalty, Hugh appears to have acted in a haughty manner toward Lothair, and also towards his son and successor Louis V; but neither king was strong enough to punish this powerful vassal, whose clerical supporters already harbored the thought of securing for him the Frankish crown.
