| | Robert II |
 | | Pope Gregory V, whose favor Robert vainly sought to win by allowing Arnulf, the imprisoned archbishop, to return to his see of Reims and forcing Gerbert to flee to the court of the emperor Otto III, excommunicated the king, and a council at Rome imposed a seven years' penance upon him. |
 | | After Hugh's death the king procured the coronation of his second son, Henri, duke of Burgundy, afterwards king of France, a proceeding which displeased Constance, who wished her third son, Robert, afterwards duke of Burgundy, to receive the crown. |
 | | The notable gain to France during this reign was the duchy of Burgundy, which Robert claimed on the death of his uncle, Duke Henry, in 1001. |
