Notes

King of France. He enlarged his kingdom and fought repeatedly with the kings of England, William I and II, who as dukes of Normandy were technically his vassals. For his illegal marriages to Bertrada de Montfort (both were already married), he was excommunicated by Pope Urban II, but restored on the understanding (openly disregarded) that he have no further converse with her.
