FRANCE, Kings of (chronological)

*     Charles the Bald is often reckoned first King of France. Before him we show Kings of Neustria (West Frankia) and Kings of Paris beginning with Clovis the Great. For these earlier Kings, the first regnal number refers to the list of Kings of Neustria, the second to Kings of All the Franks. (During the Pepinid era, some Kings of All the Franks seem to be excluded from that regnal list.) We do not show Merovingian Kings of Austrasia (East Frankia), Kings who ruled only in the south of present-day France, or Kings before the Franks captured Paris. (The Kings of Austrasia missing from this list include Clovis' son Theuderic I and his descendants, Clothar I's son Sigebert I and his descendants, and Dagobert I's son Sigebert II.)
*     There is some confusion about the numbering of some Merovingian Kings. Our Clovis IV is often called Clovis III; our Thierry IV is sometimes called Theodoric II, etc.
*     The symbol ( * ) means the King is omitted from many regnal lists.

 Merovingian Dynasty
(-,1) [481-511] Clovis the Great
(Paris) [511-558] Childebert I, son of Clovis the Great
(-,2) [558-561] Chlothar I (King at Soissons from 511)
(Paris) [561-567] Charibert I
(1,-) [561-584] Chilperic I
(2,3) [584-628] Chlothar II (King of All Franks from 613)
(3,4) [628-638] Dagobert I
(4,-) [638-656] Clovis II
*     During the reign of Clovis II, the Pepinid Grimoald seized control in Austrasia, exiling King Dagobert II. Clovis II had Grimoald tortured and killed.
(5,-) [656-670] Chlothar III, son of Clovis II
(6,5) [670-673, 673-675] Childeric II
(7,-) [673,etc.] Thierry III
* [673-679] Neustria in political transition. The preceding King was deposed twice during this era until finally becoming the undisputed (puppet) King (see below). The next two Kings were Kings of Austrasia, for whom the Pepinid Major Domus (Ansegisel or his son Pepin II of Herstal) may have claimed the Neustrian throne.
(*,-) [675-676] Clovis III, prob. son of Clothar III (above).
(*,-) [676-679] Dagobert II of Austrasia (after return from exile)
* [679-687] Neustria in political transition. In 679 King Dagobert II was assassinated, possibly by order of Pepin II of Herstal. (Some say it was an imposter who returned from Ireland as Dagobert II.) A few years later Ebroin, Major Domus of Neustria, was assassinated. In 687 Austrasian forces defeated Neustria at the Battle of Tertry. After this, real power throughout Frankia was wielded by the Austrasian Major Domus Pepin II of Herstal (nephew of the Grimoald killed by Clovis II) and his descendants (the Pepinids).
*     The next seven Kings were puppet Kings.
(7,*) [679-691] Thierry III
(8,-) [691-695] Clovis IV, son of Thierry III
(9,*) [695-711] Childebert III
(10,*) [711-715] Dagobert III
(11,*) [715-720] Chilperic II
(12,6) [720-737] Thierry IV
(13,7) [742-752] Childeric III
*     Some people claim descent from Sigebert III of Razes, supposedly Heir of the Merovingians.
(*) [-] Sigebert III poss. self-proclaimed ``King of Franks,'' or poss. his very existence is a recent fabrication.
 
House of Carolingians (Pepinid Line)
*     Pepin III deposed Childeric III and became `first King of the Franks of the second race.'
(-,8) [752-768] Pepin III `the Short'
*     Carloman and Great Charles were co-regents for a few years.
(*) [768-771] Carloman
(-,9) [768-814] Charles (I) the Great (1st Holy Roman Emperor)

* [840-843] Interregnum; Sons of Louis I at War. Resolved by the Peace of Verdun, which established France.
*     In most lists, Charles the Bald is reckoned as First King of France.
*     (Some prefer to number Charles' grandfather, Great Charles, as Charles I, so there is some controversy about the numbering of the early Charleses.)

(2) [877-879] Louis II the Stammerer
(3) [879-882] Louis III, son of Charles the Bald

Robertians, Carolingian, Welfing/Bosonid
(6) [888-898] Eudes (Odo)
(7) [898-922] Charles III the Simple (claimed throne from 893)
(*8) [922-923] Robert I
*     The father of Raoul (Rudolph) following was a Welfing; his mother was a Bosonid. Raoul's claim to the throne came from his mother's mother who was Carolingian.
(9) [923-936] Raoul of Burgundy
 
House of Carolingians (Restored)

Kings of England
*     Although Philip IV had three sons and a grandson who all became Kings of France, his agnatic line became extinct. The throne was then claimed by Philip IV's uterine grandson:
(rival) [1328-1377] Edward III of England
*     This claim was reinforced by earlier connections and ownership in France by Kings of England (Normandy, Anjou, and the marriage by Henry II to the Heiress of Aquitaine). French nobles did not accept Edward's claim and installed Philip VI Valois as King. Valois attacked England's domains in the North of France in 1337, and the Hundred Years' War began. English Kings continued to claim the French throne until 1802, and even controlled Paris from 1420 to 1436. Refer to ENGLAND, Kings of for these English Kings of France; in the list following we show just Kings crowned by the French.

(31) [1380-1422] Charles VI the Well-Beloved
*     During the Hundred Years' War the Kingdoms were almost unified by the following person who, as an infant, was appointed Heir by his grandfather King Charles VI. However his claim was not accepted by French nobles.
(*) [1422-1429] Henry VI of England (as infant)
*     Although Paris was not recaptured until 1436, and the War did not end until 1453, the turning point of the Hundred Years' War came in 1429 when Joan of Arc defeated the English at the Battle of Patay and had Charles VII coronated at Reims.
