Research paper thumbnail of Les Thibaldiens : origines, premières alliances et ascension politique

This study shows that they probably had their roots on the borders of northern Burgundy and Lotharingia. The political uncertainties of the end of the 9th century pushed one of their offspring to join the loyalty of the Robertians, in the heart of their regnum, the Neustrian Loire. The tropism towards Burgundy and Lotharingia nevertheless remains a constant among the Thibaldians and partly explains the genesis of the future Champagne. This study also shows how the “March” that Hugh the Great entrusted to Theobald the Trickster was constructed. It casts a new look which makes it possible to remove several contradictions regarding the alliances of the first Thibaldians and even more regarding their county responsibilities in Tours, Blois, Châteaudun or Chartres, as on their role north of the Seine, in Provins and in Berry. In the light of this reassessment, we will return, in a final and more concise part, to the various crises between Capetians and Thibaldians (962, 991, 1014 and 1022) and their consequences.

Research paper thumbnail of La construction de la Bourgogne Robertienne (936 - 1031)

The control of the entire northwestern part of the former Kingdom of Burgundy by the Robertians (... more The control of the entire northwestern part of the former Kingdom of Burgundy by the Robertians (future Capetians) is a long process that spanned nearly a century. The success of the Robertians was not necessarily straightforward at the outset in the face of families more deeply rooted in the 'Burgundian kingdoms' such as the Bosonids, the Wilhelmids or the Welf-Rodolphians-but also in the face of the great dynasties-the last Carolingians and the Ottonians. The success of the Robertians will go through a political line which first will know how to preserve its achievements in relation to four major diplomatic dates (936, 942, 960 and 1006) and which will know how to take advantage of the opportunities that arise (marriages or even cohabitations, successions, and military actions) to further increase this influence. The year 1003 which saw the start of the War of the Burgundian Succession opposing King Robert II the Pious to the powerful Count Otto-William is a paroxysmal moment of this process showing in turn the temporary weaknesses of the Capetians hold then the structural forces which ultimately allowed their victory.
