About Robert Ii Of France
- Robert II (27 March 972 – 20 July 1031), called the Pious (French: le Pieux) or the Wise (French: le Sage), was king of the Franks from 996 to 1031.
- He was born in Orléans to Hugh Capet and Adelaide of Aquitaine.
- Robert distinguished himself with an extraordinarily long reign for the time.
- His 35-year reign was marked by his attempts to expand the royal domain by any means, especially by his long struggle to gain the Duchy of Burgundy.
- His policies earned him many enemies, including three of his sons.
- He was also known for his difficult marriages: he married three times, annulling two of these and attempting to annul the third, prevented only by the Pope's refusal to accept a third annulment.
