Individual Details
(820 - 2 Jul 866)
Despite the fact that he was a favored noble of Charles, Robert joined a rebellion against the king in 858. He led the Frankish nobles of Neustria with the Bretons under Salomon in inviting Louis the German to invade West Francia and receive their homage. While count of Anjou, Robert was able to successfully defend the northern coast against the threat of a Viking invasion. In 866, Robert was killed at the Battle of Brissarthe while, unsurprisingly, defending Francia against a joint Breton-Viking raiding party, led by Salomon, Duke of Brittany, and the Viking chieftain Hastein.
