79) Helyas “The Swan-Knight”, epic-hero of the First Crusade 1096-99, the 40th and last Grail-King, who, upon entering Jerusalem [accompanying his son, Geoffrey of Bouillon, the crusade’s leader] following the First Crusade (1096-99) returned The Holy Grail to The Church of The Holy Sepulchre and placed it himself on the high-altar (1099). Helyas “The Swan-Knight” married thrice, and, by each wife had a son: his eldest son inherited the French fiefdom of Bouillon from his mother; his second son married the heiress of Oldenburg [Oldcastle] and inherited the Dutch county through her; and, his third son inherited the German fiefdom of Kleve (Cleves) from his mother, hence, founding three great families. The legend of Helyas “The Swan-Knight” takes place during the last half of the eleventh century. He arrives on the scene when the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV (1056-1106) held court at Neumagen to decide a claim by the Count of Frankfort for the duchy of Bouillon, then held by Ida of Louvain, the widow of the Duke of Bouillon, its duchess. The matter was decided by hand-to-hand combat between the Count of Frankfort and Helyas of Lorraine, who championed the duchess, who legend says sailed up the Meuse on a boat drawn by a swan by means of a silver chain, whence his epithet. He won the battle, married her, and became the Duke of Bouillon in right of his wife, by whom he begot Geoffrey of Bouillon, Leader of the First Crusade 1096-99; Protector of The Holy Sepulchre 1099-1100. The legend was embellished by medieval romance that says before their marriage Helyas warned the duchess that if she ever asked his identity he would have to leave her. As the story goes she later tempted disregarding her husband’s warning asked him his identity. [The wife’s desire to know her husband’s “true self” appears here to parallel the myth of Cupid and Psyche.] He rebuked her sorrowfully, and, instantly the boat drawn by the swan re-appeared on the river next to where they were, Helyas stepped into the boat, and the swan swam off with him in the boat out of sight of his sorrowing wife. That is medieval romance, but the fact is Helyas divorced Ida of Louvain, soon after the birth of their son, Geoffrey, and she [his ex-wife] married thirdly Eustace II, Count of Boulogne. Helyas, meanwhile, had come to the aid of Elsa of Brabant, divorced wife of Regnier, Count of Hainault, against a suitor, Frederic de Telramund, who claimed she had promised to marry him. Instead, Elsa of Brabant married Helyas of Lorraine. It was his second marriage, as well as hers. The marriage produced a son, Elimar [Egilmar], who married Rixa [Rikissa], the heiress of Oldenburg, and became the Count of Oldenburg [“Oldcastle”] in “right of his wife”. Helyas divorced Elsa of Brabant soon after the birth of their son, Elimar, and, she married thirdly Hajo, Count of Uprustringen. Helyas, meanwhile, married thirdly Beatrix of Cleves [identified with Belayne of Lizaborye in medieval romance], daughter of Rutger II, Count of Cleves, and, widow of the Count of Lizaborye. The marriage produced a son, Dietrich [II]. Soon after, Helyas divorced Beatrix of Cleves, who married thirdly Dietrich I, Count of Cleves. Hence, Helyas “The Swan-Knight”, the last in the long-line of “Grail-Kings”, was the ancestor of three great noble European houses, those of Oldenburg [Oldcastle], Bouillon, and Cleves. Legend says that Helyas was murdered by armed men sent by his ex-wife [not by her parents as one romance says, who had already dead by that time], circa 1100. The three sons of Helyas, all born out of wedlock & were reared by their mothers, who were:
(80A) Geoffrey of Bouillon, Leader of the First Crusade 1096-99, &, “Protector of The Holy Sepulchre” 1099, called “First” Grand-Master of the Knights-Templars, whose mother, Ida of Louvain, widow of the Duke of Bouillon, married 3rdly Eustace II, Count of Boulogne
(80B) Egilmar I, Count of Oldenburg [Oldcastle], 1091, [by virtue of his marriage to Rixa, the heiress of Oldenburg] (d1108), whose mother, Elsa of Brabant, divorced wife of Regnier, Count of Hainault, married 3rdly Hajo, Count of Uprustringen. [note: Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince-Consort of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, is a male-line descendant of Helyas “The Swan-Knight” through the Counts of Oldcastle (Oldenburg), though his official genealogy is traced through the royal house of Greece, which may trace its descent from ancient Greek kings.]
(80C) Dietrich II, Count of Cleves 1085/92 (d1114/19?), whose mother, Beatrix (Belayne) of Cleves, daughter of Rutger II, Count of Cleves, widow of the Count of Lizaborye, married 3rdly Dietrich I, Count of Cleves (d1056)

POST-SCRIPT
The Holy Grail came to symbolize Christianity and the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem just like the “Ark-of-the-Covenant” came to symbolize Judaism and the ancient Judaic kingdom of Israel/Judah. The Holy Grail was taken out of Jerusalem to Acre at the time of Jerusalem’s fall to the Muslims either in 1187 and/or 1244, and there remained at Acre until 1291 when it was taken by the Knight-Templar Guillaume [III] de Beaujeu to Antioch and entrusted into the care of Tibald de Gaudin, the city’s bishop. The Holy Grail after that disappears from recorded history until 1910 when there was found in the ruins of a church at Antioch, a cup, containing an inner cup, that is thought by able scholars to be the Holy Grail. The inner cup is plain silver, however, its container, the outer cup, is exquisitely carved silver with the figures of Christ and His disciples at the “Last Supper”. The outer cup was obviously made to hold the inner cup, as a sacred, precious object older than itself. The artistic style and workmanship is considered to be of first century date. The Holy Grail, now called “The Chalice of Antioch”, eventually came into the possession of the Cloister’s Museum in New York City and is privately owned today by the Metropolitan Museum, New York, NY.

Last updated 1 month agoFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search
A tapestry of 1482 showing episodes from the Knight of the Swan story: at the bottom puppies are substituted for babies.The story of the Knight of the Swan, or Swan Knight, is a medieval tale about a mysterious rescuer who comes in a swan-drawn boat to defend a damsel, his only condition being that he must never be asked his name. The earliest variants of the story appear in French chansons de geste attached to the family of Godfrey of Bouillon, the first ruler of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem. Later, the German poet Wolfram von Eschenbach included a version in his Grail epic Parzival. One of the Old French romances inspired a late-fourteenth century version in Middle English.[1] Wolfram von Eschenbach’s version inspired two later romances and the opera Lohengrin by Richard Wagner. A German text, written by Konrad von Würzburg in 1257, features a Swan Knight but without any other name.

[edit] Crusade cycleThe Knight of the Swan story first appears in French chansons de geste of the Crusade cycle, where they figure into tales of the ancestry of Godfrey of Bouillon.[2] As the first ruler of the newly-established Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem, Godfrey loomed large in the medieval Christian imagination, and his shadowy genealogy became a popular subject for writers of the period. Knight of the Swan stories attached to Godfrey fall into two major versions, identified by Gaston Paris as “I” and “II”. Each version has its own variants.[3]
[edit] Swan Children
Helias, Brabant (16th-century)Version I describes the Swan Children and appears to have been originally separate from the Godfrey cycle and the Swan Knight story generally.[3] Paris identifies four groups of variants, which he classifies usually by the name of the mother of the Swan Children.[4]
In the Dolopathos group, named after the oldest variant, a lord finds a mysterious woman — clearly a swan maiden or fairy — in an enchanted forest and marries her.[4] She bears seven children, six boys and a girl, with golden chains about their necks, but her evil mother-in-law has them quickly removed and abandoned and replaces them with dogs.[5] The father blames the mother for their disappearance and punishes her; in turn, the boys lose their gold chains and turn into swans. Through the efforts of the sister, after seven years the truth is revealed, the mother is redeemed, and the boys are restored to their human form, with the exception of one whose chain has been melted down. The poet asserts that he becomes the swan in the Swan Knight tale.[5] The Eloixe group tells a courtlier version of the same story, in which the mother is less mysterious in origin and dies in childbirth, so she does not suffer before her children are restored.[6] In the Isomberte variants, the woman is a princess fleeing a hated marriage.[7] In the Beatrix variants, the woman had taunted another woman over her alleged adultery, citing a multiple birth as proof of it, and was then punished with a multiple birth of her own.[7] In the Beatrix versions, the mother is also an avenging justice.[8] This makes the tale resemble not only such chivalric romances as The Man of Law’s Tale and Emaré, but such fairy tales as The Girl Without Hands.[9] It also bears resemblance to the fairy tale The Six Swans, where brothers transformed into birds are rescued by the efforts of their sister.[10]
[edit] Swan KnightVersion II involves the Swan Knight himself. These stories are sometimes attached to the story of the Swan Children, but sometimes appear independently, in which case no explanation of the swan is given. All of these describe a knight who appears with a swan and rescues a lady; he then disappears after a taboo is broken, but not before becoming the ancestor of an illustrious family.[11] Sometimes this is merely a brief account to introduce a descendant.[12] The second version of this tale is thought to have been written by the Norman trouvère Jean Renart.
In Brabant the name of the Knight of the Swan is Helias. It has been suggested[by whom?] that this connects him to the Greek solar god, Helios,[13] but the name is in fact a common variant of the name of the prophet Elijah.
[edit] Lohengrin
Lohengrin postcard around 1900 by unknown artistMain article: Lohengrin
In the early 13th century, the German poet Wolfram von Eschenbach adapted the Swan Knight motif for his epic Parzival. Here the story is attached to Loherangrin, the son of the protagonist Parzival and the Grail maiden Condwiramurs. As in other versions Loherangrin is a knight who arrives in a swan-pulled boat to defend a lady, in this case Elsa of Brabant. They marry, but he must leave when she breaks the taboo of asking his name.
In the late 13th century, the poet Nouhusius (Nouhuwius) adapted and expanded Wolfram’s brief story into the romance Lohengrin. The poet changed the title character’s name slightly and added various new elements to the story, tying the Grail and Swan Knight themes into the history of the Holy Roman Empire.[14] In the 15th century an anonymous poet again took up the story for the romance Lorengel.[15] This version omits the taboo against asking about the hero’s name and origins, allowing the knight and princess a happy ending.
In 1848, Richard Wagner adapted the tale into his popular opera Lohengrin, probably the work through which the Swan Knight story is best known today.[16]

“Heilwig van Rode ?” The Niece of Godfrey de Bouillon
(Images: Scotish Princess, Oda of Rodes. Godfrey de Bouillon. Arnold
of Cleves. Swan Knight. Flag of Odenrode)
http://rougeknights.blogspot.com/
Ida of Boulogne was the sister of Godfrey de Boulogne. She married
Herman of Malsen van Cuijk/Cuyck. Their daughter, Heilwig, married
Arnold van Rode, thus the niece of Godfrey Bouillon was a van
Rode/Roesmont. Ida’s mother was Ida of Lorraine. The name Ida may
have come from Saint Oda a Scotish Princess who came to Holland. The
Rode family appear to have taken their name from the town and church
they built for this princess, Saint Odenrode. Rode means clearing in
a forest. An elevated place within this glade would be a mound, thus
the name, Rodemound.
“huwelijk (van Rode-van Cuijk):”
Godfrey de Bouillon was titled `Duke of Lorraine’. The Dukes of
Lorraine descend from Ragnar the Viking and are close kin to the
Dukes of Brabant, if not the same family, thus the crossbeams in the
Cross of Lorraine?
There are about a dozen Ida or Oda names that may have been taken
from Saint Oda of Scotland. Robert de Bruce descends from Ida of
Louvain. Maud of Louvain married Count Eustace of Bouillon, and thus
is the great grandmother of Heilwig Roesmont.whose Roesmont
descendant may have carried on her name and that of her husband,
Arnold van Rode.
“Heilwigis Arnoldi Danielis ROESMONT [Parents] married Arnoldus
BERWOUT.
Other marriages:
VAN DER POIRTEN, Arnoldus Rover ”
There is a line of Arnold van Kleef (Cleves). Were they the
progenitors the Countess of Cleves throws in the face of Elsa of
Brabant the wife of Hylas, the Swan Knight, only to have him reveal
his own Arnolds? Could they be the same?
Beatrice de Bar married Geofrey the Duke of Lorraine. Beatrice if a
Ferrette who owned Rougemont castle. Here is where the genealogical
search for the source of the Rosamond name, ends, for they belong to
the same family that begot Godfrey de Bouillon, a co-founder of the
Knight Templars, and perhaps the first king of Jerusalem whose large
portrait hung over my late sister’s mantle, she the world famous
artist, Rosamond.
I suspect Saint Oda may have originally been a Queen of the Frisians
who born a liniage of Roses, and the Lords of Rode. That Godfrey’s
sister, Ida, is disappeared from most geneaologies, along with his
niece Heilwig van Rode, tells me there is a REAL ROSE LINE that could
have been revelead by the Swan Knight.
“The Swan Knight’s adventures bring him to the defense of the
dispossessed Duchess of Bouillon, whose land has been seized by
Regnier (Ragnar) of Saxony, whom he challenges to a duel. The Swan
Knight defeats Regnier and wins the daughter of the Duchess in
marriage. They have a daughter, Ida, who can see the future and knows
that she is destined to be the mother of Eustace, Godfrey, and
Baldwin.”
On May 9, 2006 I posted on Atland, the Frisian Atlantis. The Frisians
were ruled by Rosamond, the Earth Goddess Mother. Was her mythical
being based on Saint Odarode?
This post is my capstone. Like a blind man I have been groping in the
dark, moving forward, and never wavering. I came to touch the statue
of Oda the blind saint, and all is revealed, all I have written made
clear in what can surely be titled `The Prophecy of Rhodemond’.
Consider the name of Rhodos’s father and the name of the Swan Knight,
Hylas.
RHODOS (Rhodos), was, according to Diodorus (v. 55), a daughter of
Poseidon and Halia, and sometimes called Rhode.
Now, with sword in hand, and the flag of Oedenrode, I come to Carmel.
And kick down the door of the Rosamond gallery, and claim it in the
name of my Rode family; for no sooner was my artistic sister dead,
did the parasites get rid of the surviving artist in the family.
Within twenty four hours, we were gone, and the feeding frenzy of the
un-gifted ones began.
As the Red Knight of the Lords of Rode, who were close kin to
Godfrey, I challenge my powerfyll foes, bid them to come out of their
dark hiding place, and face me like a man.
I have recovered my child and grandchild in my recent trip to Santa
Rosa. “All’s well, that ends well.”

First records of the settlement called Rhode date from the year 500.
Sint-Oedenrode was a small settlement on an elevated place near the
river Dommel. The settlements on both riverbanks (Rhode and Eerschot)
merged into one larger settlement.
In the 11th century the Lords of Rhode build a castle on the elevated
area (during excavations in 2005 remains of the castle were
uncovered, proving the early records to be valid). The Eerschot part
of the settlement constructed the first church (the church has been
rebuild many times over the centuries, the early base can still be
seen in the church which is nowadays named ‘Knoptoren’).
The settlement thrived and became an important place in the region.
Sint-Oedenrode was granted city status in 1232 by the Duke of Brabant
(at that time Hendrik I of Brabant). This promoted Sint-Oedenrode to
the capital of the Peel (the name of the region in North Brabant).
RHODE (Rhodê),a daughter of Poseidon by Amphitrite, was married to
Helios, and became by him the mother of Phaeton and his sisters
(Apollod. i. 4. § 4). It should be observed that the names Rhodos and
Rhode are often confounded (Diod. v. 55).
RHODOS (Rhodos), was, according to Diodorus (v. 55), a daughter of
Poseidon and Halia, and sometimes called Rhode. The island of Rhodes
was believed to have derived its name from her. According to others,
she was a daughter of Helios and Amphitrite, or of Poseidon and
Aphrodite, or lastly of Oceanus (Pind. Olymp. vii. 24; Tzetz. ad
Lycoph. 923). She was a sea-nymph, of whom the following legend is
related. When the gods distributed among themselves the various
countries of the earth, the island of Rhodes was yet covered by the
waves of the sea. Helios was absent at the time; and as no one drew a
lot for him, he was not to have any share in the distribution of the
earth. But at that moment the island of Rhodes rose out of the sea,
and with the consent of Zeus he took possession of it, and by the
nymph of the isle he then became the father of seven sons. (Pind. Ol.
vii. 100, &c.; Ov. Met. iv. 204.)

Ida of Boulogne (c. 1160–1216) was Countess of Boulogne. She was the eldest daughter of Matthew of Alsace by Marie I, Countess of Boulogne. Her maternal grandparents were King Stephen of England and Matilda I of Boulogne.
Her mother had been placed in a convent, but was removed in order to marry Matthew. As a consequence, her parents’ marriage was rather controversial and they finally divorced in 1170. Her father continued to rule until his death in 1173, when she succeeded.
On the advice of her uncle, Philip I, Count of Flanders, she married first in 1181 to Gerard of Guelders, but he died the same year. Ida quickly remarried to Berthold IV of Zähringen, but he too died in 1186. According to the contemporary historian Lambert of Ardres:
“…so left without a man, [Ida] indulged herself in worldly delights and pleasures of the body. She fell passionately in love with Arnold II of Guînes, and tried as hard as she could to seduce him; or rather, with typical feminine fickleness and deception she feigned that emotion. Emissaries and secret tokens passed back and forth between them as indications of certain love. Arnold either loved her or with masculine foresight and prudence pretended to; for he aspired to the land and dignity of the County of Boulogne once he could gain the Countess’ favor through love feigned or true.”
This relationship came to naught when Ida was abducted in 1190 by Count Renaud de Dammartin, who carried her off to Lorraine. This was a common enough fate for medieval heiresses. The situation became complicated when Arnold of Guînes received messages of enduring love from Ida. He promptly rode to her rescue, only to be captured and imprisoned by friends of Renaud in Verdun. Arnold was only freed due to the intervention of William, Archbishop of Reims. Ida was supposed to have purposely deceived him to lead Arnold into a trap. Whatever the truth, she remained with Renaud and produced a daughter, Matilda II of Boulogne (died 1258).
Matilda was a supporter of the Knights Templar. She founded Cressing Temple in 1137 and Temple Cowley in 1139.[2]. Like her predecessor, Matilda of Scotland, she had a close relationship with the Holy Trinity Priory at Aldgate. She took the prior as her confessor and two of her children were buried there[3].
Cressing Temple is an ancient monument situated between Witham and Braintree in Essex and was founded in 1137 by Matilda of Boulogne[1], the wife of King Stephen. It was the headquarters of the first grant of land given to the religious order of the Knights Templar in England. The two barns and the templar well which exist on the site, originate from this period. The Wheat Barn and the Barley Barn are the two finest Templar-built barns in Europe while the Barley Barn is recognised as the oldest timber-framed barn in the world.
In 1310 Cressing Temple was handed over to the Knights Hospitallers who built new stone buildings and expanded the site. Following the Reformation, in the late 16th Century there was a mansion on the site, now called the ‘Great House’, but it was demolished in the 18th Century and only the farmhouse, granary, wagon lodge and stableyards remain. The Tudor brick garden also stands and has been developed by Essex County Council who acquired the barns for the people of Essex in 1987. Extensive archaeological investigations were carried out as part of a programme of improvements and updates in the 1990s.
Cressing Temple is open to the public and is host to many conferences and events throughout the year. The website gives extensive details of the history and archaeology of the site.
Cressing was the largest and most important of the Templar Knights landholdings in Essex. Such an estate would have been in the charge of a preceptor accompanied by two or three resident knights or sergeant-at-arms, together with a chaplain, a bailiff and numerous household servants. The estate would have employed agricultural labourers and craftsmen and thus functioned as a large estate farmed for profit to help the Order pay for the war effort in the Holy Land.
We know relatively little about the Templar buildings on site as only the two great barns and the stone well survive. The inventory of 1313 gives the clearest picture of the buildings. This mentions a chapel, two chambers, a hall, a pantry, a buttery, a kitchen, a larder, a bakehouse, a brewhouse, a dairy, a granary and a smithy.
The barns appear large and dominating in the landscape when viewed externally but stepping inside is an awesome experience. The open space inside is huge and the roof and wall timbers are a magnificent sight.
Ermengarde of Hesbaye (born about 778 , but in any case before 784 , died Oct. 3 818 to Angers (not to Agen as is sometimes claimed), also called Irmingard.
Haar vader Ingram van de Haspengouw kon haar in 794 uithuwelijken aan Lodewijk de Vrome , die op dat moment nog maar derde in lijn voor de troonopvolging van Karel de Grote was. Her father Ingram of Haspengouw in 794 was her marriage to Louis the Pious , who at that time but third in line to the throne of Charlemagne was. Dat veranderde toen Lodewijks beide oudere broers Pepijn en Karel respectievelijk in 810 en 811 overleden. That changed when Louis’s two older brothers Pepin and Charlemagne , respectively 810 and 811 deceased. Zo werd Ermengarde in 814 koningin der Franken en in 816 keizerin van het Westen. Thus, Ermengarde Queen of the Franks in 814 and 816 Empress of the West. Zij behartigde aan haar hof de belangen van haar familie en onderhield banden met de kerkhervormers uit Aquitanië. She looked after her court to the interests of her family and maintained ties with the church reformers of Aquitaine. Er zijn speculaties dat haar relatie met Lodewijk pas na de kroning een volwaardig huwelijk was. There are speculations that her relationship with Louis after the coronation was a full-fledged marriage. Ze is overleden op reis met haar man, na een ziekbed van drie dagen. She is traveling with her deceased husband, after an illness of three days.
Ze had met haar echtgenoot de volgende kinderen: She had with her husband the following children:
Lotharius (± 795-855), koning van Italië, volgde zijn vader op als keizer en werd koning van het Middenrijk . Lothair (± 795-855), king of Italy, succeeded his father as emperor and became king of the Middle Kingdom .
Pepijn (± 797-838), koning van Aquitanië ; hij stierf nog vóór het Frankische Rijk in 843 met het Verdrag van Verdun definitief kon worden verdeeld; Pippin (± 797-838), king of Aquitaine , he died before the Frankish Empire in 843 the Treaty of Verdun could definitively be divided;
Rotrude (± 800-?) Rotrude (± 800 -?)
Bertha, waarvan het geboortejaar onbekend gebleven is; Bertha, whose birth is unknown;
Hildegarde, (± 802/804 – 857), abdis van Notre Dame en Saint Jean te Laon , steunde Lotharius tegen Karel de Kale. Hildegarde, (± 802/804 – 857), abbess of Notre Dame and Saint Jean to Laon , supported Lothair against Charles the Bald.

The Robertians, or Robertines, were a prominent Frankish predecessor family centered in the Western Frankish Kingdom, West Francia and fathers of what became the Capetians, holding power through the whole period of the Carolingian Empire and between 888-988 were the last Carolingian Kingdom existing. The family included a large number of forms of Robert including Robert of Hesbaye (b. 770), Robert III of Worms (b. 800), Robert the Strong (b. 820), and Robert I of France (b. 866). They figured prominently amongst Carolingian nobility and married into this royal family. Eventually the Robertians delivered Frankish kings themselves such as Odo, Robert I and Hugh Capet. Those Robertians ruled in the Frankish kingdom Western Francia.
In (systematic application of) Historiography, Hugh Capet is known as the “last Frankish king” and the first king of France. He is the founder of the Capetians, the family that (via the spin-off dynasty, The Bourbon dynasty of Spain and France) ruled France until the founding of the Second French Republic (1848–1852)— save during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars from 1792 to 1814/1815) and is still ruling Spain and Luxembourg. In contemporary times, both King Juan Carlos of Spain and Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg are members of this family, both through the Bourbon branch of the dynasty.

[edit] Origin
The oldest known Robertians probably originated in the county Hesbaye, around Tongeren in modern-day Belgium. The first certain ancestor is Robert the Strong count of Paris, probably son of Robert III of Worms, grandson of Robert of Hesbaye, and nephew of Ermengarde of Hesbaye, daughter of Ingram, wife of Louis the Pious. Other related family includes Cancor, founder of the Lorsch Abbey, his sister Landrada and her son Saint Chrodogang, archbishop of Metz.
[edit] From Robert the Strong
The sons of Robert the Strong were Odo and Robert, who were both king of Western Francia and ruled during the Carolingian era. His daughter Richildis married a count of Troyes. The family became Counts of Paris under Odo and “Dukes of the Franks” under Robert, possessing large parts of the ancient Neustria. Although quarrels continued between Robert’s son Hugh the Great and Louis IV of France, they were mended upon the ascension of Lothair I of France (954-986). Lothair granted Hugh Duchy of Burgundy and Aquitaine, both rich and influential territories, arguably two of the richest in France expanding the Robertian dominions.
The Carolingian dynasty ceased to rule France upon the death of Louis V (d. 987). After the death of Louis, the son of Hugh the Great, Hugh Capet was chosen as king of the Franks, nominally the last ruler of West Francia. Given the resurgence of the Holy Roman Empire title and dignities in the West Francian kingdom, Europe was later believed to have entered a new age, so became to be known in historiography as the first king of France, as western civilization was perceived to have entered the High Middle Ages period. Hugh was crowned at Noyon on July 3, 987 with the full support from Holy Roman Emperor Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor. With Hugh’s coronation, a new era began for France, and his descendants came to be named, after him, the Capetians. They ruled France as the Capetians, Valois, and Bourbons until the French Revolution. They returned after 1815 and ruled until Louis Philippe was deposed in 1848.
However they continue to rule Spain, with two republican interruptions, through the Bourbon Dynasty right down to Juan Carlos of Spain.
