[S804] Wikipedia: Hugh, Count of Vermandois, Hugh Capet II. Hugh (1057 – October 18, 1101),[1][2] called the Great (Latin Hugo Magnus), was a younger son of Henry I of France and Anne of Kiev and younger brother of Philip I.[3] He was Count of Vermandois in right of his wife (jure uxoris). His nickname Magnus (greater or elder) is probably a bad translation into Latin of a French nickname, le Maisné, meaning "the younger", referring to Hugh as younger brother of the King of France. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh,_Count_of_Vermandois [S4] Ancestry Family Trees, (Name: Online publication - Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com.

Anne of Kiev (c. 1030 – 1075), Anna Yaroslavna, Anna of Rus also called Agnes, in France known initially as Anne de Russie[1] or Agnes de Russie,[2] was the queen consort of Henry I of France, and regent of France during the minority of her son, Philip I of France, from 1060 until 1065. Anne founded St. Vincent Abbey in Senlis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_of_Kiev [S322] Wikipedia: Henry i of France, Henri Capet I. Henry I (4 May 1008 – 4 August 1060) was King of the Franks from 1031 to 1060, the third from the House of Capet. The royal demesne of France reached its smallest size during his reign, and for this reason he is often seen as emblematic of the weakness of the early Capetians. This is not entirely agreed upon, however, as other historians regard him as a strong but realistic king, who was forced to conduct a policy mindful of the limitations of the French monarchy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_I_of_France
