    Notes 
    • 700 Birth and Parents
      Robert (I) , born between 700 and 710, was the son of Lambert (II), comes in Neustria and Austrasia and his wife. [1][2]

      Robert's father was Lambert (II), who died before 741. Cawley notes that according to Europäische Stammtafeln[524], Lambert [II] was the son of Chrodbert [II] but no reference to Lambert or this alleged relationship has been found in any of the primary sources so far consulted.] [2]

      The name of Lambert’s wife is not known.[2]

      Robert was the only known child of Lambert (II) and his wife.[2]

      Robert's grandfather was Chrodbert (Robert II) who died before 12 September 677. Cawley notes that according to Europäische Stammtafeln, Chrodbert [II] was the son of "Lambert [I] nobilis in Neustria after 650", who in turn was the son of Chrodbert [I]. Cawley has found no reference to "Lambert [I]" in any of the primary sources so far consulted and therefore omits him pending positive identification. "Chlodovius rex Francorum" confirmed the privileges of the abbey of St Denis by charter dated 22 Jun 653, subscribed by "…Chradoberctus…". Chrodbert (II) was chancellor for King Clothar III 658. "Childericus rex Francorum, Chadicho duce, Rodeberto comite" donated property to the monastery of St Gregory in Alsace by charter dated 4 Mar 673, the editor of the compilation identifying "Rodeberto comite" as "comes Alsatiæ superioris sive Sundgaviæ"[521]. Chrodbert was comes palatinus 2 Oct 678. Chrodbeert married Doda, who died before 12 Sep 677). The Vita Leudegarii names "Rotpertus et uxor Tota"[522]. "Theudericus rex Francorum" donated property held by "Detta relicta Chrodoberctho quondam" to "Chainoni diacono" by charter dated 12 Sep 677[523]. Cawley states that Chrodbert [II] & his wife had one possible child, Lambert (II). [2]

      Cancor, died 771[1]
      Anselm[1]
      Thuringbert, died June 770 or later[1] There are currently three which need to be researched and, if appropriate, merged.:

      Research Notes
      Ambiguous Parentage
      Notice of resolution of ambiguous parentage: parents determined by consulting primary sources, especially collected by FMG's Medieval Lands project. [2]

      Alleged children
      The following profiles have at one time or another been shown as children or Robert I, but no documentation of the relationship has been found:

      Hersinda, born 685. This places her birth a quarter-century before her father's so if she is linked to this family, it must be to a previous generation.
