Louis VI the Fat (, 1081 – August 1 , 1137 ) was King Of France from 1108 to 1137 . A member of the Capetian Dynasty, Louis VI was born in Paris , the son of Philip I Of France (1060–1108), and Bertha Of Holland (1055–94). He married in 1104: 1) Lucienne De Rochefort – the marriage was annulled. He married in 1115: 2) Adélaide De Maurienne (c.1100–54)
Almost all of his 29 year reign was spent fighting either the "robber barons" who plagued Paris, or the English. Nonetheless, Louis VI managed to reinforce his power considerably and endeared himself to the working classes of France. Louis VI died on August 1, 1137 and is interred in Saint Denis Basilica . He was succeeded on the throne by his son Louis VII (1137–80). REFERENCES
