Hugh Capet was important because he founded the Capetian dynasty in France, which established a line of kings that would rule for over 800 years. His ascension to the throne in 987 marked the beginning of a more centralized French monarchy, shifting power from local nobles to a stronger royal authority. This consolidation of power laid the groundwork for the future expansion and unification of France. Capet's reign also set a precedent for hereditary monarchy, influencing the governance of France for centuries.
