Notes:

The first member of the House of Capet to make a lasting contribution t o the centralizing institutions of royal power,[1] Louis was born in P aris, the son of Philip I and his first wife, Bertha of Holland. Almost a ll of his twenty-nine-year reign was spent fighting either the "robber b arons" who plagued Paris or the Norman kings of England for their conti nental possession of Normandy. Nonetheless, Louis VI managed to reinfor ce his power considerably and became one of the first strong kings of F rance since the division of the Carolingian Empire. His biography by hi s constant advisor Abbot Suger of Saint Denis renders him a fully-round ed character to the historian, unlike most of his predecessors.
