The early ancestry of the Capetians, before Robert 'the Strong' (820-866), is given differently by different sources. We show below the ancestry given by 'HOLDT' but also provide a link to the ancestry shown by 'Royal Genealogies' (ROYL) which, although arguably less reliable, is certainly interesting.
