Make a donation and receive a gift: http://don.storiavoce.com/ Robert the Pious, successor to Hugh Capet, was the king of the year 1000. Associated with power by his father in the Carolingian tradition, he was a leader of bold political choices, far from the image of a man ruled by his amorous passions, as presented in the 19th century! It is true that marriage policy was one of the most complex aspects of his reign. However, the France of Robert the Pious was a France without a state: what, then, was the reality of the Capetian's power? Can we speak of a weakness in the royal institution? Were we witnessing a sudden and rapid transformation of political and social structures at the turn of the year 1000? In a new biography, Yves Sassier offers us for the first time a chronological look at the reign of Robert the Pious. Guest: Doctor of Law and specialist in the political and institutional history of the 10th-12th centuries, Professor Emeritus at the University of Paris-Sorbonne (Paris IV), Yves Sassier was a professor at the Faculty of Law of Lille, then at the Faculty of Law of Rouen. He is the author of several works, including Hugues Capet (1987) and Louis VII (1991) published by Fayard. He recently published Robert the Pious. Dynastic Roots (Fayard, 352 pp., €25). *** Facebook:   / histoireetcivilisationsmag   Instagram:   / histoireetcivilisations   Twitter:   / storiavoce
