Encyclopedia Britannica



ROBERT THE STRONG (le Fort) (d. 866)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 402 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROBERT THE STRONG (le Fort) (d. 866) ,
count
  of Anjou and of Blois, is said by Richerus to have been the son of a certain Witichin, but nothing definite is known about his parentage or early
life
 . Quickly attaining a prominent position among the Frankish nobles, he appears as
rector
  of the abbey of Marmoutier in 852, and as one of Charles the Bald's missi dominici, in 853; but soon afterwards he was among those who rebelled against Charles, and invited the king's half-brother, Louis the German, to invade West
Francia
 . How-ever, after the peace between Charles and Louis in 86o Robert came to terms with his sovereign, who made him
count
  of Anjou and of Blois, and entrusted him with the defence of that
part
  of his kingdom which lay between the Seine and the Loire, a
district
  which had suffered greatly from the ravages of the Normans and the Bretons. By his conduct in many stubborn fights with these foes, Robert thoroughly earned his surname and gained the confidence of the king, who gave himthe counties of
Nevers
  and Auxerre. He was killed in battle at Brissarthe in October 866, leaving two sons, Odo, or Eudes, and Robert, both of whom became kings of the
Franks
 . Robert has been compared to the Maccabees, and the fact that he was the ancestor of the Capetian kings of France has invested him with historical importance.
See K. von Kalekstein, Robert der Tapfere (Berlin, 1871); and E. Favre, Eudes, comte de Paris et roi de France (Paris, 1893).
