William the Conqueror was the most problematic such duke
the house of Burgundy (a cadet branch of the Capetians), who held the duchy of Burgundy
the house of Poitiers, who held the county of Poitiers, the duchy of Aquitaine, and the duchy of Gascony
Hugh Capet was elected king of the Franks in 987.
