As early as 989, Robert married the daughter of «u»Berengar II of Italy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berengar_II_of_Italy>«/u», «u»Rozala <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rozala_of_Italy>«/u», who took the name of Susannah upon becoming Queen. She was many years his senior. Their marriage was arranged by Hugh. She was the widow of «u»Arnulf II of Flanders <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnulf_II_of_Flanders>«/u», with whom she had had children. Robert divorced her within a year of his father's death. He tried instead to marry «u»Bertha <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertha_of_Burgundy>«/u», daughter of «u»Conrad of Burgundy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_of_Burgundy>«/u», around the time of his father's death. She was a widow of «u»Odo I of Blois <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odo_I%2C_Count_of_Blois>«/u», but was also Robert's cousin. For this reason, «u»Pope Gregory V <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Gregory_V>«/u» refused to sanction the marriage and Robert was excommunicated. After long negotiations with Gregory's successor, «u»Sylvester II <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Silvester_II>«/u», the marriage was annulled.
Finally, in «u»1001«/u», Robert entered into his final and longest-lasting marriage: to «u»Constance of Arles <«/u»http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constance_of_Arles«u»>«/u», the daughter of «u»William I of Provence «/u». She was an ambitious and scheming woman, who made life miserable for her husband by encouraging her sons to revolt against their father.
