Talk:Hugh Capet

message: The article currently reads:
:While Hugh Capet's military power was limited and he had to seek military aid from Richard I of Normandy, his unanimous election as king gave him great moral authority and influence. Adémar de Chabannes records, probably apocryphally, that during an argument with the Count of Auvergne, Hugh demanded of him: "Who made you count?" The count riposted: "Who made you king?"[9].
The riposte points to the exact opposite idea of the first sentence: that as a nonhereditary king, Hugh had less moral authority and influence. Should the entire section be removed? or which side should the article come down on? -114.91.67.180 (talk) 14:44, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

message: This page makes no mention of daughter Adele, however page on 'Robert II of France' references daughter 'Advisa, ... not to be confused with her aunt Adele, who married Count Renaud I of Nevers', Robert II's pages is linked to 'Hugh Capet of France' as father.  A page for 'Adele of France' and one for 'Renauld I, Count of Nevers' also link to 'Hugh Capet of France' as father and father-in-law.  Can someone clarify relationships?

message: Does anyone have references for the image now illustrating the article? It's such a stylistic anachronism, it should be dated and located lest anyone think this is somehow a "portrait" of the real Hugh Capet. RodC 22:34, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, the image was completely anachronistic and inaccurate. I removed it. See also Talk:Henry I of France. Hardouin 00:20, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Stop removing the picture, whoever it is.  It may be anachronism but it's the only thing we have unless someone wants to find a coin from this period.  So since it anachronism to put a picture on this article, is it anachronism to put any picture on the article Jesus since there were never any potrait of Jesus when he was alive? --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 04:31, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

message: We should add something about the etymology of Capet - doesn't it simply refer to Hugh's habit of wearing a cape? David.Monniaux (talk) 13:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology of Capet 

message: His mother and his father's mother are listed as the same person: Hedwig of Saxony.  Only one of them (the mother) matches the linked article in terms of parents and husband.  Either the same title is given to two people (possible) in which case that should be clarified and one of the links should be changed so they don't link to the same article.  Or one of them (most likely the father's mother) is listed improperly.  Seeing as how this is one of the "On this day..." articles for today (3 July), I think it should be corrected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.58.168.163 (talk) 08:04, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
