  Capet is regarded as the founder of the Capetian dynasty. The direct Capetians, or the House of Capet, ruled France from 987 to 1328; thereafter, the Kingdom was ruled by collateral branches of the dynasty. All French kings through Louis Philippe, and all royal pretenders since then, have belonged to the dynasty. ======================= Marriage and issue per wikipedia Hugh Capet married Adelaide, daughter of William Towhead, Count of Poitou. Their children are as follows: 1. Gisela, or Gisele, who married Hugh I, Count of Ponthieu 2. Hedwig, or Hathui, who married Reginar IV, Count of Hainaut 3.
