Richard
II "The Good", Duke of NORMANDY, son of Richard I, Duke of Normandy
and Gonnor de Crepon, was born about 963 in Normandie. He died on
28 Aug 1027 in Fecamp, Normandie. He was buried in Fecamp, Normandie. He
married Judith de BRETAGNE about 1000 Normandie, France.
"On his death in 996 Richard I left a domain which had been at peace for
30 years to a child. This rule by a minor opened up the way to a general
revolt of the peasantry. This uprising was, however, not directed against
the power of the descendants of Rollo. On the contrary it showed that Normandy
was part of the development of feudal society at its outset. The peasants
were trying to throw off the growing pressures and demands of the aristocracy.
Simultaneously, troubles in the Hiémois territories, a central region
of Normandy, were a traditional attempt by a member of the ruling families,
William of Exmes, to take power. The two rebellions were contained by the
tutors of the young Richard. The counter-measures against the peasants
were particularly bloody.
This troubled period enabled the Danish Vikings to use Normandy as a base
for new raids into England. King Aethelred called upon the aid of Richard
II and their alliance was sealed by a marriage. Emma, sister of Richard
married Aethelred in 1002. This marriage gave rise to a political situation
with major consequences. On the death of Aethelred, the Norman princess
Emma married the Dane, Cnut, who in 1016 defeated the heirs of Aethelred.
She was to be the mother of the last Danish king of England, Harthacnut
(1040-2). The sons of Emma and Aethelred took refuge at Richard's court.
Prince Edward was brought up at the court of the Duke of Normandy and was
surrounded by Norman companions. After Edward succeeded to the throne of
England in 1042, the Normans became directly involved in the affairs of
the English kingdom.
In France, Richard II conducted himself as a loyal vassal of King Robert
the Pious. He took part with him in expeditions into Burgundy (1003 and
1005) and into Flanders (1006). In exchange for which he obtained the support
of the king in his own wars against Fulk Nerra, Count of Anjou or Eudes
of Blois, against whom he did not hesitate to use Viking mercenaries. Maine
and Brittany were frontier zones in which Richard II was obliged to take
an interest. Here too, marriage was an instrument of diplomacy. Richard
II married Judith, sister of Geoffrey, the Count of Rennes, who married
Havoise, Richard's sister. Judith was to be the first Christian princess,
as a legitimate wife of a Duke of Normandy, to produce an heir outside
the practice of concubinage 'in the manner of the Danes'.
Beside this Richard II turned his duchy into one of the richest and most stable principalities of the French kingdom. He was the first to exchange the title of Count of Rouen for that of Duke. Richard re-used much of the Carolingian administrative mechanism and pursued a reform of the Church, as a pillar of ducal power. As early as 1001 he called upon the services of the Italian reformer William of Volpiano to restore the Abbey of Fécamp where the Dukes had their palace and had chosen to be buried."

I "Sans Peur", Duke of NORMANDY, son of Guillaume I, Duke of Normandy,
and Sprote of Bretagne, was born on 28 Aug 933 in Fécamp,
Normandie. He died on 20 Nov 996 in Fécamp, Normandie. He was buried
in Fécamp, Normandie. He married Gonnor de CREPON after 962 in France.
"Was only 10 years old when he succeeded, and the King of France, taking
advantage of his age, thought it a favorable opportunity for reuniting
Normandy to the dominion of the French crown. With this view, he went to
Rouen soon after the assassination of Duke William, and found means to
carry off the young duke under pretence of protecting him from his enemies,
and superintending his education. However, by the dexterity of Osmond,
his governor, Richard contrived, in a short time, to make his escape. The
French king pursued him into Normandy and was defeated and taken prisoner
by Airgold, King of Denmark, who the Normans had invited to the assistance
of their young duke; nor was he set at liberty till he signed a solemn
engagement not to molest Richard in the enjoyment of his duchy and was
moreover obliged to deliver up his two sons, and some of his nobles, as
hostages to his future conduct. This treaty was cheifly managed through
the mediation of Hugh the Great, Duke of Paris, who was so much pleased
with the young Duke of Nomandy, that he betrothed to him his daughter Emma,
then only eigtht years of age, whom he afterwards married. Some years after,
Hugh the Great, being on his bed appointed Richard, guardian of his son
Hugh Capte, a trust which he faithfully executed and moreover greatly contributed
by his exertions to the elevation of Hugh Capet to the throne of France.
Richard displayed great personal courage in battle and was called "Sans
Peur" by his contemporaries. He had no children by the Princess Emma. After
her death he married Gunnor, a Norman lady, by whom he had Richard, William,
Count of Du, ancestor to the Clifford family and several other children.
He died in great sentiments of piety at the abbey of Fecamp, in Normandy
in 996 and was buried in the abbey church."

"Robert de Torigny, writing after the Norman Conquest, recorded the genealogical
traditions which tied many of the Norman nobility to the family of Gunnor,
first mistress of Richard I, then Duchess of Normandy. He reported the
tradition that Richard had become infatuated with the wife of one of his
foresters, Senfria, but being the pious wife, she substituted her sister
Gunnor, much to everyone's satisfaction. He proceded to name the siblings
of Gunnor, and also indicated the she had numerous nieces, who are left
unnamed, but whose marriages and descendants are provided."

He died on 24 Oct 996 in Paris, France. He was buried in Abbaye de St. Denis, Isle de France, France. He married Adélaïde, Princess of AQUITAINE in 968.
"Hugh Capet: King of France (987–96), first of the Capetians. He was the son of Hugh the Great, to whose vast territories he succeeded in 956. After the death of Louis V, last Carolingian king of France, the nobles and prelates elected him king, setting aside the last Carolingian claimant, Charles I of Lower Lorraine. In order to secure the succession, Hugh took as his associate his son Robert (later King Robert II); he gave away much of his land to secure the dynasty. He spent much of his reign fighting Charles and later became involved in a controversy with the papacy—unsettled at his death—over deposition of the Carolingian archbishop of Reims."
http://www.bartleby.com/65/hu/HughCape.html
"Born in 938, in Paris, France, from a wealthy and powerful family, the eldest son of Hugh the Great and Hedwige of Saxony (c.910-c.965). Hugh Capet wanted to become a lay abbot, and in 980 arranged to move the relics of St. Valery to Amiens Cathedral. He inherited his fathers vast estates and became the most powerful noble of his time. Hugh allied himself with the German emperors, marrying the daughter of Emperor Otto, and exercised greater influence than the weak Carolingian king, Lothair. After Lothair and his son died in early 987, the archbishop of Reims convinced an assembly of nobles to elect Hugh Capet as their king. He was crowned King of France at Noyon, Picardie on July 3, 987, the first of the Capetian dynasty to rule France.
King Hugh possessed minor properties near Chartres and Anjou. Between Paris and Orléans he possessed towns and estates amounting to approximately 400 square miles. His authority ended there and if he dared travel outside his small area, he risked being ransomed or even murdered. Beyond this power base, in the rest of France, there were still as many codes of law as there were fiefdoms. The country operated with 150 different forms of currency and at least a dozen languages. Uniting all this into one cohesive unit was a formidable task and a constant struggle between those who wore the crown of France and its feudal lords. As such, Hugh Capet's reign was marked by numerous power struggles, both with the Roman Catholic Church and the vassals on the borders of the Seine and the Loire.
While King Hugh's military power was limited, and he had to seek military aid from the Duke of Normandy, his unanimous election as king gave him great moral authority and influence."

"Vladimir, d. 1015, first Christian grand duke of Kiev; son of Sviatoslav. In 970, Vladimir was sent by his father to govern Novgorod. After Sviatoslav's death Vladimir vied with his two brothers, Yaropolk and Oleg, for the succession. About 980, he defeated his brothers and became grand duke of Kiev. During his reign he conquered and united under Kievan Rus distant Slavic tribes and waged successful wars on the Lithuanians, the Bulgars, and the Byzantines in Crimea. At first a fervent pagan, he converted to Christianity, probably influenced by the political and economic advantages of an alliance with Byzantium. His baptism, in 988 or 989, was followed by his marriage to Anna, sister of the Byzantine Emperor Basil II. After the wedding he returned Kherson (in Crimea) to Byzantium. Vladimir renounced his profligate ways and made Greek Orthodox Christianity the religion of his people. He devoted the remainder of his life to the building of churches, including the splendid Cathedral of the Tithes (989), and to the establishment of schools and libraries. He also enacted several statutes concerning the legal status and courts of the church."

http://www.xenophongi.org/rushistory/rulers/success15.htm
"One thousand years ago there was an event, which chroniclers decided to write down without fail: the Polotsk princess Rognieda made an attempt on her husband life. It was the grand duke of Kiev Vladimir Svyatoslavovich. Nobody helped Rognieda, she did not aspire to authority and conspiracy was not. She craved for revenge. At the night Rognieda took a knife of the prince, looked at her husband, who slept sweet, and she whispered: "Die"! - and the sharp, width about a palm knife attacked Vladimir in his heart. But the impact was inexact. Perhaps, there was the weak illumination or the pity was in Rognieda's soul - however the attempt didn't reached the purpose. It is necessary to tell, that Rognieda and Vladimir had three sons - Izyaslav, Yaroslav, Vsievolod and two daughters - Predslava and Promislava. Rognieda was twenty two years old that time. The princess expected the death for murder, or attempt on life of the husband under the laws of that time, however she did it. The prince Vladimir revenged his rebellious wife by punishment, maybe, more terrible, than the death.
The furious prince ordered his wife to dressed well and took his sword. Rognieda's seven-years son, Izyaslav, ran in shouting and took the mother's side. Vladimir didn't kill his wife because of their son, and in several days Vladimir said, that she would never see the children, except Izyaslav. Rognieda with her son were deported to a place at the sources the Svisloch river. Dobrynya went to Rognieda with a small militia. She was christened, and Rognieda became a nun. Dobrynya took away the son Izyaslav. The princess Rognieda died at a monastic cell in eleven years."
