## Bio

Robert became junior king in 987 at around fifteen, educated by the future Pope Sylvester II and sent to lead councils and sieges alongside his father. Sole ruler by 996, he locked the Capetians into alliances with Normandy and Anjou while containing the Blois counts' reach. When his uncle died in 1002, Robert fought a three-year war for Burgundy against the dead duke's stepson and won. He married three times, had two unions annulled, and tried for a third annulment — the pope refused. His biographer Helgaud spun the reign as holy theater: donations, charity, the laying-on of hands to heal lepers, France's first "miracle worker" king. The final years cracked open: his third wife Constance and two of his sons rose against him between 1025 and his death in 1031, a 35-year reign that outlasted most and ended in family revolt.
