[edit] birth?
What is the basis for this birthdate given for Robert II? As far as I an aware, no contemporary source gives such an exact birthdate. His biographer, Helgaud of Fleury, states that the king was aged 60 when he died on July 20, 1031. If correct, this would place Robert's birth around 970/971. Missi 23:09, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Burgundy
Why is it said that Robert's 1003 invasion of Burgundy was thwarted until 1016, while several other articles say that Burgundy was annexed to Kingdom of France in 1004? (e.g. Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy)
[edit] Weird sentence
After Robert became king he did as his father and crowned his eldest son Hugh Magnus as his successor. But, due to Prince Hugh Magnus' death, another son, Henri, became king.
I am going to delete the above sentence from the article. Hugh Magnus was Robert's grandfather. I am not aware the Robert had a son named Hugh.

[edit] Another weird sentence
I am going to remove:
His eldest son Hugh Magnus died suddenly while in rebellion against his father.
As I stated above, Hugh magnus was not the son of Robert II

- Hugh Magnus was definitely his eldest son and co-king. It is not the same person as the father of Hugh Capet. You should not have removed those sentences. Srnec 12:16, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
