The Kings and their Counsellors
Between 987 and 1328 fourteen successive kings, all of the same family and descended in the direct line from the same ancestor, Hugh the Great, Duke of Francia, sat on the throne of France. During this epoch France was born. In all essentials the framework of the French nation was then assembled. Before we recount their actions and try to decide the part they played in the development of France, we must make a character-sketch of each of these ki…
‘Emperor in his own Kingdom’
Feudal suzerainty was not, and could not be, completely effective unless reinforced by the wider authority of a sovereign kingship, recognised and accepted in all France. The Capetian rulers could not hope to draw out the full implications of their undoubted suzerainty without asserting their higher status as the possessors of the crown of France. This, however, presented certain difficulties, always liable to arise in a political and social stru…
The Impact of Social Change
The French nation grew up within the bounds of space, authority and government created by the Capetian kings. These bounds were on the whole well and clearly defined; they had in the main been reached without the use of force. But of themselves they did not create a nation. Before that could come to pass, it was necessary that the inhabitants of the realm should accept the Capetian achievement. That in the end they did so was at least in part due…
The Machinery of Government
The task of the Capetians did not stop short at establishing their sovereignty and subjecting the fiefs and lordships of France to their authority. To make their work permanent they had to enlist the services of reliable administrators, capable of holding all their territories together, for without a strong and efficient administration their political achievement would have been ephemeral. To produce their administrative system they employed the …
Territorial Gains and Losses
Any picture of Capetian policy towards the great fiefs which represents it as one of continuous pressure — as a war of attrition almost — is somewhat misleading. No positive intention of consolidation lay behind the royal acquisitions and annexations, and no consistent plan of campaign produced the advances which we have described. Chance opportunities often precipitated actions of which the consequences were far from clearly envisaged. There is …
The Capetian Patrimony
The Capetians needed three centuries before they could call themselves ‘emperors in their own kingdom’ without appearing ridiculous. They succeeded in the end because, in a society in which the possession of land was the only source of power, they were able to build up a domain greater than that of any of their great vassals or of any contemporary ruler in Europe. In 1328, the last year of Capetian rule, an official document drawn up at the close…
The Evidence
Any study of the sources of Capetian history must start from the old but still valuable work of Auguste Molinier. 1 Rather than seeking to provide even a brief outline of these sources, this chapter aims only at emphasising the fragmentary — and often inadequate — nature of the historian’s knowledge of the period, whilst at the same time giving some idea of what may be learned from the evidence which has survived.
The Intellectual and Moral Climate
The Capetian achievements, territorial, political, administrative, and their acceptance by the French people, were the vital advances along the road towards the creation of France. But by themselves these products of three centuries of patient state-building were not enough, and if they were to endure they had somehow to be induced to come together in a single organic whole. Breath must enter into the dry bones.
The Great Fiefs
The consolidation of the royal domain in the twelfth century was matched by a similar process in the great feudal principalities of Flanders, Anjou, Brittany, Champagne, Burgundy, and (to a lesser degree) Aquitaine and Toulouse in the south. The leaders, and possible models, were the Dukes of Normandy, who on their own account also applied the new methods in their conquests across the English Channel. The process made for stability. As a result o…
The Dynasty
Hugh Capet was crowned King of France at Noyon on 5 July 987. He was the son of Hugh the Great, Duke of Francia, the grand-nephew of Eudes, Count of Paris and King of France (888–98), the grandson of Robert I, King of France (922–3), and the nephew of Raoul, King of France (923–6). His accession was due as much to the intrigues of Archbishop Adalbero of Rheims as to his own personal actions. Contemporary opinion probably did not look upon the occ…
Epilogue
With the completion of our survey, the question arises: had the Capetians a policy from the outset, and, if so, what was its nature? A dynasty’s policy may be defined as a comprehensive and durable plan of government devised by the founder or one of his successors at a precise period of time, and thereafter carried out in detail by those who come after. But none of the Capetians formulated a policy of this kind; and the Enseignements of St. Louis…
The King of France
The first task of Hugh Capet’s descendants was to establish their dynasty firmly, to ensure its continuance on the throne, and to win for it a religious prestige and thereby the veneration of the people it had solemnly taken upon itself to govern. Meanwhile they had to organise the practical means of carrying on good government, making use of the prerogatives which the social organisation of mediaeval France put at their disposal.
The Lands of the House of Anjou
The reduction of the Flemish principality, the acquisition of Champagne and Languedoc, and the peaceful penetration of the duchies of Burgundy and Brittany were all vital steps towards the territorial unification of France. Before any of them could be accomplished it was necessary to remove the danger — at least in its more acute form — presented by the existence in western France of the great conglomeration of fiefs controlled by the Angevin kin…
