Robert the Strong (Old Frankish: Rutpert) (died September 15, 866), also known as Robert IV, was Margrave of Neustria. He was son of Charles the Younger, and grandson of both the two greates men in medeivel England and France Offa, King of England, and Charlemagne, Emperor of France. He was nominated by Charles the Bald missus dominicus for the Tours and Angers regions in 853. After a rebellion against Charles II in 855, he became duke for the region between Seine and Loire. From this time he was responsible for fighting against Normans and Bretons, and he eventually met his demise in 866 fighting the Normans in the Battle of Brissarthe.
Stoyan lists his wife as Adelaide of Tours. [1] Robert was the father of Odo, Count of Paris and Robert I of France, who both became King of Western Francia. Robert was the great-grandfather of Hugh Capet and thus the ancestor of all the Capetians.
Following only the male line, Robert is the direct patrilineal ancestor of the thrones of France, Spain, and Portugal.
