    Robert was educated at Rheims under Gerbert (later Pope Silvester II). "As
    the ideal of mediaeval Christianity he won his surname of `Pious' by his
    humility and charity, but he also possessed some of the qualities of a
    soldier and a statesman." Crowned in 12-987, he became sole king on his
    father's death in 996. Marriage irregularities led to his excommunication
    by Pope Gregory V.{-Encycl.Brit.,`56,19:347}
