Hugh Capet (;  ; c. 939 – 14 October 996)[1] was the King of the Franks from 987 to 996. He is the founder and first king from the House of Capet. The son of the powerful duke Hugh the Great and his wife Hedwige of Saxony, he was elected as the successor of the last Carolingian king, Louis V. Hugh was descended from Charlemagne's sons Louis the Pious and Pepin of Italy through his mother and paternal grandmother, respectively, and was also a nephew of Otto the Great.

The dynasty he founded ruled France for nearly three and a half centuries from 987 to 1328 in the senior line, and until 1848 via cadet branches (with an interruption from 1792 to 1814).

    Hugues Capet (né vers 939-941 probablement à Dourdan1, mort le 24 octobre 996 probablement au lieu-dit (non habité) « le Juif », près de Prasville2), duc des Francs (960-987), puis roi des Francs (987-996), fut le premier souverain de la dynastie capétienne. Fils de Hugues le Grand et de son épouse Hedwige de Saxe, il est l'héritier des puissants Robertiens, la lignée qui est en compétition pour le pouvoir avec la dynastie carolingienne et les grandes familles aristocratiques de Francie aux ixe et xe siècles, mais par sa grand-mère paternelle Béatrice de Vermandois il descend également d'un carolingien, Bernard roi d'Italie, petit-fils de Charlemagne.
