The third dynasty arose on the throne of France as a result of elections. Now it is difficult for us to believe that a king can be elected, but in medieval Europe this happened quite often. Of course, these were not popular elections and only representatives of the nobility had the right to vote, but still, the change of dynasties occurred as a result of voting. Hugo Capet became the new ruler, giving rise to the Capetian family at the head of France. What nicknames did not the kings of this dynasty have: Long, Handsome, Brave, Quarrelsome, Fat, Pious and even... Posthumous! One of the kings of this era became a saint - a Catholic church in Moscow was consecrated in his honor. And another became related to the Kyiv prince. A kaleidoscope of Capetian kings - in our next lecture. We will learn: - how the Capetians fought in the Crusades; - why Henry I married the daughter of Yaroslav the Wise; - how many days did John I the Posthumous spend on the throne; — what did the expression “It is not fitting for lilies to spin” mean in Medieval France?
