Home›Monarchs and Rulers›European Monarchs›Monarchs of FranceGroupMonarchs of FranceKings and one emperor of France from the Carolingian and Capetian founders, Charlemagne's own line and Hugh Capet, through the Valois and Bourbon dynasties to Louis XVI and the revolutionary and Napoleonic aftermath that ended the old French monarchy. The group includes rulers of France's medieval component duchies and counties recorded here under French royal history, such as Eleanor of Aquitaine, as distinct from the Angevin kings of England, who are grouped under England and Britain even where their own continental holdings, Normandy and Aquitaine among them, were technically French fiefs. A ruler's own French crown, regency or principal French title is the qualifying fact.FactsBrowse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonStart YearWell-attested481 CE 1End YearWell-attested1792 CE 2Browse ByAll Monarchs of FranceMonarchs of France15 entriesMonarchs of FranceFilter Results15 entriesRoleAllMilitary Leader (1)Monarch / Royalty (15)EraAllThe Early Modern Period (2)The Post-Classical and Medieval Period (13)BirthplaceAllEurope (1)France (11)Germany (1)Paris (1)GenderAllFemale (2)Male (13)RuledAllDuchy of Aquitaine (1)The Holy Roman Empire (1)The Kingdom of England (2)The Kingdom of France (4)Arts CounterpartAllLouis XIV (1)Philosophy CounterpartAllLouis XIV (1)Science CounterpartAllLouis XIV (1)Lived Era (Birth to Death)All748 to 814 (1)778 to 840 (1)880 to 928 (1)912 to 973 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 15CharlemagneMonarchs and Rulers2 linksCharles V of FranceMonarchs and Rulers4 linksEleanor of AquitaineMonarchs and Rulers8 linksHugh CapetMonarchs and Rulers3 linksIsabella of FranceMonarchs and Rulers6 linksJohn II of FranceMonarchs and Rulers3 linksLouis the BlindMonarchs and Rulers1 linkLouis the PiousMonarchs and Rulers2 linksLouis V of FranceMonarchs and Rulers2 linksLouis VII of FranceMonarchs and Rulers2 linksLouis XIVMonarchs and Rulers3 linksLouis XVIMonarchs and Rulers2 linksOtto the GreatMonarchs and Rulers4 linksPhilip IV of FranceMonarchs and Rulers3 linksWilliam the ConquerorMonarchs and Rulers3 linksSources1.
