I suspect that there is still a story to be uncovered about the Capetian family around this time, and that biologically the royal personnel may
not all have been quite as generally received.

I'm not one to hold someone to statements espoused more than a decade ago, Peter, but I can't help but be intrigued by what you had in mind here (if specifics still come to mind after all this time). Naturally we can never prove paternity at a remove

paternity of Philippe I's younger brother Hugo Magnus, perhaps including
Balduin of Flanders and others of the nobility - as well as the man
himself, possibly, if he was overcompensating for a doubt and projecting
this onto Philippe when he reportedly wrote to the Byzantine emperor
proclaiming himself "the king of kings and the greatest under heaven" (ὁ >> βασιλεὺς τῶν βασιλέων καὶ ὁ μείζων τῶν ὑπ’ οὑρανόν).
