  === Life Sketch ===
  Capet is regarded as the founder of the Capetian dynasty. The direct Capetians, or the House of Capet, ruled France from 987 to 1328; thereafter, the Kingdom was ruled by collateral branches of the dynasty. All French kings through Louis Philippe, and all royal pretenders since then, have belonged to the dynasty.

  === Duke of France; Count of Paris and Orlea ===
  Duke of France; Count of Paris and Orleans. First of the Capetian kings of France who were to reign more than 335 years. Proclaimed king in 987, after the death of Louis V. His lands included the duchies of Guyene, Normandy, and Britanny and the counties of Toulouse, Roussilon, Auvergne, Champagne, Vermandois, Anjou and Flanders A+C (107-19), (101-20), (143-20+) reigned 987-996 Eldest son of Hugh the Great, he was a founder of the Capetian House and lay abbot of the Abbeys of St. Martin of Tours and of St. Denis. His surname "Capet" may derive from his abbot's cape. He was elected king by the assembly of Senlis, but he secured the succession for his descendants by suspending the feudal right of election. He is buried in front of the altar in the Basilica of the Trinity at St. Denis, France. Aceeded 987 Hugh Capet, the Duke of France and Count of Paris, was elected to the throne of France by the nobility after King Louis V died without heirs. He was King of France from 987-96. Hugh was the founder of the"Capetian" dynasty which ruled France from 987 to 1328.**The founder of the Capitian dynesty. Many of the counts of Northern France did homage to him as their overloard and Richard I, duke of Normandy, was his vassal and his brother-in-law. After the death of King Loathir and his son Louis V, Hugh Capet was crowned king of the Franks in Jul 987.
  
  === King of France, founder of the Capetian ===
  King of France, founder of the Capetian dynasty, b. about the middle of the tenth century; d. about 996, probably 24 October. He was the second son of Hugh the Great, Count of Paris, and Hedwig, sister of Otto I, German Emperor, and was about ten years old when he inherited from his father the Countship of Paris and the Duchy of France. About 970 he married Adelaide of Aquitaine, and as early as 985 the famous Gerbert wrote "The Carlovingian Lothair governs France only in name. The king of France is Hugh." When Louis V died, 21 May, 987, the assistance of Adalberon, Archbishop of Reims, and of Gerbert, brought about the election of Hugh. The electoral assembly of Senlis listened to a discourse of Adalberon: "Crown the Duke", he said. "He is most illustrious by his exploits, his nobility, his forces. The throne is not acquired by hereditary right; no one should be raised to it unless distinguished not only for nobility of birth, but for the goodness of his soul". A unanimous vote ratified this discourse, and Hugh Capet was crowned at Noyon, 3 July, 987. Thus his accession, as M. Luchaire says, was above all "an ecclesiastical achievement". Hugh possessed towns and estates in the vicinity of Paris, Orléans, and in the district of Senlis and Chartres, Touraine and Anjou, but on the whole these were restricted domains, as his vassals on the borders of the Seine and the Loire contested his authority. His military power was mediocre, and he had frequently to seek military aid in alliance with Normandy. But he possessed moral power and a political influence which reached the most remote parts of the kingdom and was felt even by foreigners. His chief concern was to maintain over the Archdiocese of Reims, whose jurisdiction comprised nearly the whole of northern and northeastern France, a continuous, immediate, and uncontested authority. The Archdiocese of Reims possessed a double importance, first because the archbishop had the right to elect and crown the kings of France , and next because of its geographical situation between France and Germany. The death of Adalberon, proved by M. Lot to have taken place 23 January, 989, disturbed the new king, and Arnoul, the new archbishop whom he accepted at the end of March, 989, as successor to Adalberon, attempted a restoration of the Carlovingians (Sept., 989), and Charles of Lorraine, their heir, was for a short time master of Reims and Laon. Arnoul refused to appear at the Council of Senlis (beginning of 990), but the imprisonment of Charles of Lorraine and of Arnoul (29 March, 991), and the deposition of Arnoul pronounced at the Council of St. Basle, fixed by M. Lot at 17 and 18 June, 991 (and not 993), assured the maintenance of the Capetian dynasty. Gerbert became Archbishop of Reims (21 June, 991). This revolution accomplished by a council was received by the papacy with reserve. When Hugh Capet requested the Holy See to legitimize the action of the council, John XVI was silent; later, under the influence of Germany, the pope refused formally to recognize the election of Gerbert. Then began the difficulties which led the bishops devoted to Hugh to profess certain "Gallican principles". Nevertheless, Hugh must not be represented as wishing to found a State Church; what he wished was to maintain the Archdiocese of Reims under the domination of France, and to remove it from the influence of the German emperors. If his attitude towards the papacy was often suspicious, it was not due to a Gallican theology, but because he feared that the popes of the time were too subservient to the policy of the emperors; hence his relations with the Holy See were merely an episode in his general policy, destined to bring about the cessation of the powerful influence which the Saxon dynasty had exercised over France during the tenth century. His domestic policy was very favourable to the development of monastic life and the autonomy of the monasteries. He defended their property against lay tyranny; he so ught to remove them from episcopal jurisdiction while upholding the royal right to confirm abbatial elections; he supported all the liberties of the monks in the exercise of their electoral rights; he renounced the custom of distributing abbeys as benefices to laymen. Because of its political importance he wished to retain effective direction over the Abbey of St. Martin of Tours, and even under the reign of the Plantagenet Henry II the Capetians preserved considerable influence at Tours and along the Middle Loire. Apropos of Hugh Capet it is worthy of note that because the Dukes of France had in their possession the famous cope (cappa) of St. Martin, certain authors give to Hugh the Great and to his son Hugh the surname of Capet, which in history is reserved exclusively for the subject of this article. Hugh Capet in his religious policy applied and favoured the ideas of reform upheld by the monks of Cluny.

Related branches of the family (see Valois; Bourbon) ruled France until the final deposition of the monarchy in the 19th cent. The first historical ancestor was Robert the Strong, count of Anjou and of Blois. His son, Eudes, count of Paris, was elected (888) king after the deposition of the Carolingian king Charles III (Charles the Fat). From 893 to 987 the crown passed back and forth between Carolingians and descendants of Robert the Strong. Eudes's brother, Robert I, was chosen king in 922 but died in 923. The title, waived by his son, Hugh the Great, passed to Robert's son-in-law, Raoul, duke of Burgundy. In 987, Hugh's son, Hugh Capet, became king. His direct descendants remained on the throne until the death (1328) of Charles IV, when it passed to the related house of Valois. The successors of Hugh Capet were Robert II, Henry I, Philip I, Louis VI, Louis VII, Philip II, Louis VIII, Louis IX, Philip III, Philip IV, Louis X, John I, Philip V, and Charles IV. Their reign marked the expansion of royal authority, the revival of towns and commerce, and the beginning of the modern French state. See R. Fawtier, The Capetian Kings of France (1941, tr. 1960); A.

  === Elected King of France in June 987. Cro ===
  Elected King of France in June 987. Crowned at Noyon on July 3, 987. Founded the Capetian Dynasty which ruled France until 1328. Ancestor of the Bourbon Dynasty that ruled France until 1848 and rules Spain. Hugh Capet became king of France in 987. He founded the Capetian line, which ruled France from 987 to 1328. His election as king by the French nobles marked the end of the struggle between the nobility and the last feeble heirs of the Carolingian line. As king, Hugh had certain powers but they were more theoretical than real. The only lands he actually ruled over were those he inherited as count of Paris . Hugh Capet, Duke of France in 956, King of France from 987 to 996, born in 938, died October 24, 996, buried at St. Denis. He was the son of Hugh (Hugues I), Duke of France, Cte de Paris, who died 956 and his third wife, Hedwig, daughter of Duke Heinrich I of Saxony. Hugh Capet married Adela (Adelaide), probably daughter of William Towhead, Duke of Aquitaine, by Adele of Normandy). Hugh Capet was a descendant of Louis I., the Debonaire, King of France, through his daughter, Gisele. See this ancestral lineage elsewhere above. They had the following children:
  
  === BIOGRAPHY: Elder son of Hugh the Great, ===
  BIOGRAPHY: Elder son of Hugh the Great, Count of Paris, Hugh Capet was elected to the throne and crowned in Noyon before being anointed in Reims in 987 AD. He immediately made arrangements for his son Robert's accession to the throne. Duke Charles of Lorraine, the last of the Carolingian pretenders, struggled to regain the crown. He was taked prisoner and died in Orleans, thereby ending all rivalry for Hugh Capet and his son. - However, High Capet was only ever a feudal lord, with scarcely any more power than his vassals, and he was unable to prevent the kingdom crumbling further away.
  
  === Hugh Capet, born about 939, was the son ===
  Hugh Capet, born about 939, was the son of Hugh the Great and his wife Hedwige of Saxony. Hugh was descended from Charlemagne's sons Louis the Pious and Pepin of Italy through his mother and paternal grandmother, respectively, and was also a nephew of Otto the Great.
  
  In 969 Hugh married Adélaïde of Aquitaine, daughter of William III of Aquitaine and his wife Adele of Normandy, who was daughter of Rollo of Normandy and sister of William Longsword. This marriage was certainly politically motivated, aligning two of the most powerful families in Francia and may have been intended to cement peace between the families.
  
  Together Hugh and Adelaide became the progenitors of the Capetian dynasty of France, and had at least three children:
  
  1. Hedwig, Countess of Mons (Hadevide, Avoise) (c. 969–after 1013), wife of Reginar IV, Count of Mons
  2. Robert II (972–1031), the future king of France
  3. Gisèle, Countess of Ponthieu (c. 970–1002), wife of Hugh I, Count of Ponthieu
  
  A number of other daughters are less reliably attested.
  
  King Louis V died in 987 without heirs. The archbishop of Reims and the greatest lords of France elected Hugh Capet the new King of the Franks, choosing him over his cousin Charles, Duke of Lorraine. Hugh was crowned rex Francorum at Noyon in Picardy on 3 July 987, by the prelate of Reims, becoming the first of the Royal House of Capetian.
  
  Charles of Lorraine, the Carolingian heir, naturally contested the succession, followed by a time of siege and war which ended with Charles' imprisonment and death in 993.
  
  Almost immediately after his own coronation as king, Hugh pushed to have his son Robert made co-ruler and on December 30, 987 Robert was crowned. This forestalled any problems of succession later on.
  
  Hugh Capet died in Paris on October 14, 996, and was interred in the Saint Denis Basilica. His son Robert, already co-ruler, continued on as King.
  
  The coronation of Hugh Capet is considered the beginning of modern France. As Count of Paris, he made the city his power center and from there consolidated the rest of the country under his authority.
  
  The founder of the Capetian dynasty, Hugh's descendants ruled France from 987 to 1328; thereafter, the Kingdom was ruled by cadet branches of the dynasty. All French kings through Louis Philippe, and all royals since then, have belonged to the dynasty. Furthermore, cadet branches of the House continue to reign in Spain and Luxembourg.
  
  All monarchs of the Kingdom of France from Hugh Capet to Philip II of France were titled 'King of the Franks'. Philip II was the first to use the title 'King of France'.

From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, artitle titled "Hugh Capet:" "French HUGUES CAPET king of France from 987 to 996, and the first ofa direct line of 14 Capetian kings of that country. The Capetiandynasty derived its name from his nickname (Latin capa, "cape"). Hughwas the eldest son of Hugh the Great, duke of the Franks. On hisfather's death in 956, Hugh Capet inherited vast estates in theregions of Paris and Orlâeans, extending in some places south of theLoire River. He thus became one of the most powerful vassals in thekingdom and a serious danger to the Carolingian king, Lothair. Hughmarried Adelaide, daughter of William III, Duke of Aquitaine, in 970,but his efforts to extend his influence into that southwestern kingdomwere unsuccessful. From 978 to 986 Hugh was allied with the Germanemperors Otto II and Otto III and with Adalbero, archbishop of Reims,in political intrigues against the Carolingian king. By 985 Hugh wasactually the ruler in all but title; and, after the brief reign ofLothair's son, Louis V (986-987), Hugh was elected king of France inMay 987 by the assembly of Frankish magnates. Adalbero was able toconvince the magnates that the crown was elective rather thanhereditary and that Charles of Lorraine, the only legitimateCarolingian contender, was unfit to rule. Hugh was crowned at Noyon onJuly 5, 987. Scholars are generally ag reed that Hugh's election wasnot a revolutionary action. His grandfather Robert I, his great-uncleEudes, and his uncle Rudolf (Raoul) had all earlier beennon-Carolingian kings. "Hugh's reign was marked by the unavailing efforts of Charles ofLorraine (imprisoned 991) to assert himself and by continual conflictbetween Eudes I, count of Blois, and Fulk Nerra of Anjou, whom Hughlater supported. In 993 Eudes was aided by the bishop of Laon in anunsuccessful conspiracy to deliver Hugh and his son Robert over toOtto III. That no one was punished for the incident indicated theweakness of the new Capetian dynasty. Hugh's crown was probablypreserved by the inability of his enemies to coordinate their activities against him." "The Capetian dynasty's subsequent rule for more than 300 years hasinvested Hugh Capet's reign with a greater significance than hisactual achievements merit.

  === He was called Cabet from the cloak he wo ===
  He was called Cabet from the cloak he wore as lay abbot of St. Denis. At his accession the Kingship was feudal; the royal title meant little more than an ill-defined area called France. France extended from Laon to Orleans with its center at Paris. The Barons of the area fiefs recognized Hugh as their suzerainty. His special interest was to maintain control over his chief resources, the bishoprics and abbeys. In defiance of the pope he forced his own candidate into the Archbishopric of Reims.
  
  === Hugh ===
  Hugh Capet (c. 939 – 24 October 996) was the King of the Franks from 987 to 996. He is the founder and first king from the House of Capet. The son of the powerful duke Hugh the Great and his wife Hedwige of Saxony, he was elected as the successor of the last Carolingian king, Louis V. Hugh was descended from Charlemagne's sons Louis the Pious and Pepin of Italy through his mother and paternal grandmother, respectively, and was also a nephew of Otto the Great.
  
  === The church, which played so large a par ===
  The church, which played so large a part in creating such a king, was active in prescribing duties; the coronation oaths and prayers insisted upon his obligation to protect the church, the defenseless, and the poor, to make war upon the heathen in the service of Christ, and to ensure that justice was done. It was chiefly in church councils that the king's duty to the whole people was emphasized against his relations with his warriors. Even where, as with the Capetian dynasty between 996 and 1316, son succeeded father in unbroken descent, it was conventional to refer to the king as chosen by his people, and this became an active principle where there was no obvious claimant, as at the end of the Saxon or Hohenstaufen dynasties in Germany or in such exceptional cases as the founding of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem in 1099. Among the larger kingdoms of the 13th century, only Germany, beset by frequent changes of dynasty and by the papacy's hostility to a hereditary empire, was still in practice an electoral state. Charles IV's Golden Bull of 1356 formally defined the procedures of election that remained in force in the empire until 1806, although after 1437 the throne was monopolized by the family of Habsburg. In Denmark, Sweden, and Poland the kingship was also formally and often practically elective, though hereditary right became absolute in France, England, and Spain. ENCYCLOPÆDIA BRITANNICA Hugh Capet born c. 938 died Oct. 14, 996, Paris, France French Hugues Capet king of France from 987 to 996, and the first of a direct line of 14 Capetian kings of that country. The Capetian dynasty derived its name from his nickname (Latin capa, “cape”). Hugh was the eldest son of Hugh the Great, duke of the Franks. On his father's death in 956, Hugh Capet inherited vast estates in the regions of Paris and Orléans, extending in some places south of the Loire River. He thus became one of the most powerful vassals in the kingdom and a serious danger to the Carolingian ki ng, Lothair. Hugh married Adelaide, daughter of William III, Duke of Aquitaine, in 970, but his efforts to extend his influence into that southwestern kingdom were unsuccessful. From 978 to 986 Hugh was allied with the German emperors Otto II and Otto III and with Adalbero, archbishop of Reims, in political intrigues against the Carolingian king. By 985 Hugh was actually the ruler in all but title; and, after the brief reign of Lothair's son, Louis V (986–987), Hugh was elected king of France in May 987 by the assembly of Frankish magnates. Adalbero was able to convince the magnates that the crown was elective rather than hereditary and that Charles of Lorraine, the only legitimate Carolingian contender, was unfit to rule. Hugh was crowned at Noyon on July 5, 987. Scholars are generally agreed that Hugh's election was not a revolutionary action. His grandfather Robert I, his great-uncle Eudes, and his uncle Rudolf (Raoul) had all earlier been non-Carolingian kings. Hugh's reign was marked by the unavailing efforts of Charles of Lorraine (imprisoned 991) to assert himself and by continual conflict between Eudes I, count of Blois, and Fulk Nerra of Anjou, whom Hugh later supported. In 993 Eudes was aided by the bishop of Laon in an unsuccessful conspiracy to deliver Hugh and his son Robert over to Otto III. That no one was punished for the incident indicated the weakness of the new Capetian dynasty. Hugh's crown was probably preserved by the inability of his enemies to coordinate their activities against him. The Capetian dynasty's subsequent rule for more than 300 years has invested Hugh Capet's reign with a greater significance than his actual achievements merit. Very soon after ascending the throne, Hugh Capet arranged the coronation (December 987) of his own son, Robert, who upon Hugh's death succeeded to the throne without difficulty. This practice of crowning the heir during the father's lifetime was continued by the Capetians until the time of Louis VII and u ndoubtedly contributed to the dynasty's stability and longevity.
  
  === overview of Hugh Capet's life ===
  Hugh Capet[a][b] (/ˈkæpeɪ/; French: Hugues Capet [yg kapɛ]; c. 939 – 14 October 996)[1] was the King of the Franks from 987 to 996. He is the founder and first king from the House of Capet.

Hugh was descended from Charlemagne's sons Louis the Pious and Pepin of Italy through his mother and paternal grandmother, respectively, and was also a nephew of Otto the Great.[2]
  
  The dynasty he founded ruled France for nearly three and a half centuries from 987 to 1328 in the senior line, and until 1848 via cadet branches (with an interruption from 1792 to 1814).[3][4]

   Note: Hugh Capet (/ˈkæpeɪ/; French: Hugues Capet [yg kapɛ]; c. 939 – 14 October 996) was the King of the Franks from 987 to 996. He is the founder and first king from the House of Capet. The son of the powerful duke Hugh the Great and his wife Hedwige of Saxony, he was elected as the successor of the last Carolingian king, Louis V. Hugh was descended from Charlemagne's sons Louis the Pious and Pepin of Italy through his mother and paternal grandmother, respectively, and was also a nephew of Otto the Great. The realm in which Hugh grew up, and of which he would one day be king, bore little resemblance to modern France. Hugh's predecessors did not call themselves kings of France, and that title was not used by his successors until the time of his descendant Philip II. Kings ruled as rex Francorum ("King of the Franks"), the title remaining in use until 1190. Hugh Capet died on 14 October 996 in Paris,[5] and was interred in the Saint Denis Basilica. Hugh Capet married Adelaide, daughter of William Towhead, Count of Poitou.

Hugo realizó importantes concesiones al clero para granjearse su apoyo, así como a los nobles más poderosos del reino. Con ello se ganó el apoyo incondicional del arzobispo de Reims, Adalberón, gracias al cual logró que una asamblea celebrada en Noyon en el 987 le proclamase rey de Francia.

    Publication: Name: http://shop.fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/AQUITAINE.htm#GuillaumeIPoitoudied963A;
    Note: GUILLAUME de Poitou, son of EBALUS "Mancer" Comte de Poitou & his [second wife Emillane ---] ([900]-Poitiers 3 Apr 963, bur Saint-Cyprien). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Willelmus…cognomento Caput stupe" as one of the two sons of "Eblo duce", specifying that he was "Arvernis, Vallatis, Lemovice et Pictavis comes…dux Aquitaniæ"[353]. The Chronico Comitum Pictaviæ names "Willelmum Caput-stupæ" as son of "Ebles Dux Aquitaniæ et Pictaviæ Comes" & his wife Adellia[354]. Ademar names "Willelmum Caputstupæ" as son of Eble and "Adelam, filiam Rosi Rotomagensis", but evidently confuses the latter with Guillaume's own wife[355]. He succeeded his father as GUILLAUME I “Tête d'Etoupes/Caput-stupæ” Comte de Poitou. He was appointed lay abbot of Saint-Hilaire-de-Poitiers in Jan 942[356]. From the start of his reign, his possession of Poitou was disputed by Hugues "le Grand" Duc des Francs [Capet][357]. "Guillelmus comes vel abba summi pontificis domni nostri Hylarii" donated property "in pago Pictavo in viccaria Pictavis" to the church of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers by charter dated Jun 941 or 942[358]. Louis IV King of France confirmed the property of Saint-Hilaire de Poitiers, in the presence of "Guillelmus comes et marchio et frater eius Ebolus atque Rotgarius comes", by charter dated 5 Jan 942[359]. Comte d'Auvergne et de Limoges 955. Around this same time, Lothaire King of France extended the authority of Comte Guillaume over the whole of Aquitaine. Although known to history as GUILLAUME III Duke of Aquitaine, charters record him as "Guillelmus…Aquitanici ducatus comes"[360] and "Guillelmus…Pictavensium sive Lemovicensium necne et Arvernensium comes insuper etiam Aquitainiæ comes palati"[361] as well as "Willelmi duci Aquitanorum cognomento Caput-Stupæ"[362]. He abdicated in 962, and became a monk at Saint-Cyprien de Poitiers[363]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records that "Willelmo Capite stupæ" was buried "apud ecclesiam Sancti Cypriani"[364]. m ([935]) ADELA [Gerloc] de Normandie, daughter of ROBERT I [Rollo] Comte [de Normandie] & his [second] wife Popa [de Bayeux] (-after 969). Guillaume de Jumièges records that Rollo captured “Baiocasensem urbem” [Bayeux] along with "nobilissimam puellam...Popam filiam...Berengarii illustris viri" whom he married “more Danico” and by whom he had “Willelmum...filiamque...Gerloc”[365]. Robert of Torigny also names "Willermum Longum Spatam et Gerloch" as children of "Rollo dux Northmannorum" and Poppa[366]. Guillaume of Jumièges records the marriage of “dux...sororem eius...Gerlco” and "Willelmus Pictavensis comes”[367]. The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes records the marriage of "filius Ranulfi Eblus" and "Adelam filiam Rosi Rotomagensis"[368]. The Chronico Richardi Pictavensis also records that "Heblus…Pictavorum Comes et Dux Aquitaniæ duxit Adelam filiam Rolli Rothomagensis"[369]. This information is contradicted by other sources, is difficult to sustain from a chronological point of view, and is presumably in error. Guillaume of Jumièges records the marriage of “dux...sororem eius...Gerlco” and "Willelmus Pictavensis comes”[370]. She adopted the name ADELA when baptised. "Guillelmi comitis, Adeleidis comitisse" subscribed a charter recording a donation to Cluny dated [963][371]. On 14 Oct 962, Lothaire King of France granted her the right to dispose of extensive property in Poitiers, la Cour de Faye, effectively putting an end to the long dispute between her husband and the family of Hugues "Capet". She used the property to found the Monastery of Sainte-Trinité[372]. "Vuillelmus dux Aquitanorum" donated property to Saint-Jean d'Angély for the soul of "…matre mea Addela…" by charter dated [971][373]. Duke Guillaume III & his wife had two children: 1. GUILLAUME de Poitou ([937]-Saint-Maixent [end 995/early 996], bur Abbaye de Saint-Maixent[374]). 2. [ADELAIS de Poitou ([950/55]-[1004]).

31. Title: Den Store Danske Hugo 1. Capet
    Publication: Name: http://denstoredanske.dk/Geografi_og_historie/Frankrig/Frankrig_0843-1328/Hugo_1._Capet;
    Note: Hugo 1. Capet, ca. 938-996, fransk konge fra 987, søn af Hugo den Store. Ved sin fars død i 956 blev Hugo frankernes hertug og arvede store godser i området mellem Paris og Orléans (Île-de-France). I 970 ægtede han Adelaide af Aquitaine, men hans forsøg på at underlægge sig dette hertugdømme mislykkedes. Hugo blev valgt til konge med støtte fra ærkebisp Adalberon og udmanøvrerede dermed den karolingiske tronkandidat, Karl af Lothringen. Hugo blev stamfader til dynastiet capetingerne, som regerede Frankrig i direkte linje i mere end 300 år. Hans kongemagt var svag, men han havde et godt forhold til kirken og ejede selv flere klostre, bl.a. Saint-Denis og Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Hans tilnavn, Capet, kommer muligvis af, at han som abbed i disse klostre bar abbedernes typiske kappe (oldfransk chappe). SKREVET AF: Hans BjørnSENEST ÆNDRET: 1. juni 2015
