Chapter 14: Sacred Lineage (1239-1262)
Robert would lose his son and heir, Prince Julien, and would begin personally educating his new heir, his grandson, Prince Pierre. He would betroth his heir to the daughter, and only child, of the King of Italy who was vassal to the Holy Roman Empire, promising by the way to held a Grand Wedding.
Robert would then try and imprison, rightfully, the Duke of Aquitaine, who would start the 2nd War Against the Tyranny of Robert IV. The war wouldn’t last long with Robert capturing the duke after sieging Bordeaux.
Meanwhile, the Kingdom of England was, after more than a century, ruled again by a Norman Queen.
Robert IV “The Brilliant” would change the succession laws of his realm, establishing the High Partition Law in the Kingdom of France.
An unfortunate accident would happen next, making the king incapable.
Robert’s grandson and heir would come of age and become known too as a mastermind Philosopher. Unfortunately, due to Robert becoming incapable, the Grand Wedding wouldn’t happen, so Pierre would betroth the King of Italy’s daughter without the magnificent wedding that Robert IV “The Brilliant” had promised.
Even if Robert was incapable, the Pope still had a very good opinion of him, and since Robert IV controlled one pilgrimage site in Ile-de-France and was considered by the Church to be a Religious Icon; Robert and the Pope would consecrate Robert and his bloodline, making the king a Paragon and making his dynasty a holy one.
Robert would become with his descendants Kings By Divine Right.

The Pope would then call the Council of Mantua and declare a Crusade. The first choice was the kingdom of Jerusalem, but thanks to Robert’s relation with the Pope, the Crusade would be redirected to Hispania.
Robert would lose two daughters before the 4th Crusade would start, making him full of sorrow.
After joining the most southern tip of eastern Hispania, Robert’s army would be called back to Paris because of Robert’s orders. His orders weren’t given due to some eccentricity or some caprice but because the Queen of England, being now of English culture, had declared war for the County of Mortain.
Robert’s commanders would defeat the English foe at the Battles of Mayenne, Alençon, Domfront and would then carpet siege the Duchy of Normandy, thus ending the war.
Robert would then order a bunch of relics showing his prestige, a crown, a regalia and a new armour, in order to show his prestige.
Robert IV “The Brilliant”, the Paragon, the first King of France would depart to the Kingdom of Heaven in 1262 at the age of 98. His grandson would inherit the throne.
