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. {Born in winter
