Lambert I ( Lantbertus) of Neustria [8001] ¹²⁹

  General Notes:

France in Early Mediæval Times
For most of the middle ages, the land we know to-day as France was neither a distinct political nor geographical place. The territorial boundaries rarely coincided with modern France. Originally part of the Roman Empire, the region was settled by Germanic tribes from central Europe including the Franks, Visigoths and Burgundians. At the end of the fifth century, Clovis united many tribes into a single Frankish kingdom. Following Clovis' death in 511, the kingdom was split up among his four sons according to ancient Frankish tradition and law. Charlemagne (742 - 814) founded a Frankish empire covering what is to-day France and Germany; but it too was split up after the death of his son Louis (I) "the Pious" in 840.
The election of Hugh Capet as king in 987 began the Capetian Dynasty which ruled France for much of the middle ages. However, the actual royal domaine, known as Ile-de-France, was small and weak, consisting of little more that the land surrounding Paris, Orléans and Laon. It was not until the 12th century that later Capetians took steps to strenghten the king in the Ile-de-France.

Our genealogy begins with Lambert, a nobleman in Neustria in the 7th century.
