      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}
      "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 101-21 gives his birth year as 985.
