    Notes 
    • Robert II, Rodbert or Chrodobert (770-807) was a Frank, count of Worms and Rheingau and duke of Hesbaye around the year 800. His family is known as Robertians. His son was Robert III of Worms and his grandson was Robert the Strong. Robert of Hesbaye is the oldest known ancestor in the line of Robertians. His mother was possibly Princess Chrotlind, daughter of Theuderic III, Merovingian king of Austrasia.

      His father was likely the son of Thuringbert of Worms and Rheingau and grandson of Robert I, Duke of Neustria (c. 697-764), whose paternal ancestors ascended in line:

      Lambert II, Count of Haspengau (c. 682-741)
      Chrodobertus II, Count of Haspengau (fl. 650)
      Lambert I de Haspengau (c. 620-650)
      Chrodobertus I de Haspengau (c. 600-630)
      Charibert de Haspengau (c. 555-636)

      Robert II is the great-grandfather of two Frankish kings, Odo and Robert, who ruled in the kingdom of Western Francia. One of his descendants is Hugh Capet, who was the "last Frankish king" and the "first king of France". The descendants of Hugh Capet ruled France until 1848 (except between the French Revolution in 1793 and the Fall of the First French Empire in 1815), with a junior line having ruled Spain since 1700.

      Ingerman and Cancor were possibly his brothers. Landrada, mother of Saint Chrodegang, archbishop of Metz, is likely his sister. Ermengarde, wife of emperor Louis the Pious was most likely his niece.
