The Capetian Dynasty: Every Year 

The fact that the kings of spain and luxembourg are Capets is simply mind blowing!

They survived through Crusader Kings 2, Europa Universails IV and Hearts of Iron, winner of the Paradox games..

The Capetians would define European history for many years to come, and it still does so today in their leadership of Luxembourg and Spain. This, once again, proves just how much the ruler of one nation (in this case France) can influence the future ahead of said nation and many others in its vicinity.

Great job Ollie!

It's amazing to think, that after all of these years these bloodlines survive in nobility. The might of the French and their dynastic glory spread and now is only upheld in Spain and Luxembourg, what a journey

Henry III of France (House Valois) was elected and crowned king of Poland and grand duke of Lithuania in years 1573-1574

I spent pretty much the whole day today fixing one mistake in this... fun.

Quite awesome how, from 1868 to 1873, the only son of Hugh Capet ruling anywhere was Dom Pedro II, across the Atlantic in Brazil.

Take that von Habsburgs!

Though it is not as powerful as it once was and no longer reigns in its native country of France, the House of Bourbon is by no means extinct and has survived to the present-day world, predominantly composed of republics. The House of Bourbon, in its surviving branches, is believed to be the oldest royal dynasty of Europe (and the oldest documented European family altogether) that is still existing in the direct male line today: The House of Capet's male ancestors, the Robertians, go back to Robert of Hesbaye (d. 807) as their first secured ancestor and he is believed to be a direct male descendant of Charibert de Haspengau (c. 555-636). Should this be true, only the Imperial House of Japan would outmatch the Bourbon's age, being reliably documented - as a ruling house already - from about 540. ~from wikipedia

Thanks for remembering Brazil

Great video! I also appreciate the second song in the video. Dream Chasers happens to be one of my favorite orchestral pieces of all time.

I didn't realize that the Bourbon dynasty was related to the Capets! Sensational!

I'm french subscriber, and i'm very proud for this video ^^ Thanks a lot !

House of Wettin? House of Oldenburg? These two dynasties reigned over many countries including states in Germany, Bulgaria, Greece, Russia, Denmark, Britain, Portugal, Norway etc It would be an interesting one.

It's very interesting that most Portuguese seem to forget the House where their first King came from, and called his dynasty "Afonsine", because of it's 1st same (Afonso Henriques), and seem to forget that their dynasty for Nationalistic blindness, or just clear stupidity of the Ministery of Education...

Great video Ollie!

Really great. Congrats on 4,000!

Nice episode. I especially liked the part where BOURBON's are still in power... In Spain.

Awesome as always!

2:21 lol look at those tiny pieces of land in Lorraine. That's what happens when one interferes in the curious world of German politics.

Really great video!

great video, Ollie!

First of all, congratulations on your amazing work. I'm your fan. Just a correction, in which is related to the Portuguese Throne. In 1853 portuguese Queen Maria II died. However, the House of Bragança still continued to rule in Portugal. It was a dinastic rule: if the kingdom has a regnant queen, her husband, even if he doesn't renounce his foreign titles and claims, is unable to give his name to the royal princes, as the queen's name overpowers his in any circumstance. As a bargain, as soon as the first male prince (the successor to the throne) was born, the (then) prince consort was allowed to be king-consort and was numerated as so, followed by his family name (Maria I and Pedro III, which was also a Bragança; and Maria II and Fernando II of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha). So the House of Bragança ruled until the republican revolution of the 4th and 5th October 1910 and remained the main branch (as it is today, since the former ruling house of the Brazilian Empire is still knowk as the House of Bragança-Orleães).

Great video!

wow great video! never thought the european royal lines are this complicated

Epic video !

The house of Bush, every year.

The Capetians are still in France with the House of Orleans, although they haven't reigned since Louis-Philippe 1er. Since a few years there is a bitter conflict of legitimacy between the Orléans in France and the Bourbons of Spain because Louis XX claims to be the rightful heir to the throne of France as a direct descendant of Louis XIV. The current Prince of Orléans of course strongly disagrees, arguing that the spanish branch of the Bourbons has lost all rights to the French crown when Philip V (grandson of Louis XIV) signed the Treaty of Utrecht (1713), by which he renounced for himself and his descendants any right to the French throne so could become King of Spain.

Congrats on 4000

Love the music.

Awesome! Please do one about southeast asia! 500-2015

today the king of Spain still descending of French dynasty no ?

Although I understand why you remove the house of Braganza from the Portuguese throne in the middle of the XIX century, you should bare in mind that it's only so to non-Portuguese historigraphy, but not to the Portuguese one or to Portuguese law, both recognizing the monarchs of Portugal from 1640-1910 as belonging to the Braganza House and Dinasty.

Epic!

The brazilian imperial dynasty house is Orleans and Bragança (braganza), I guess. Very nice video, though.

I'd like to the see the Capetians back on the throne of France, their native country. Considering how things are going badly in France right now, and how politicians are hatred, they may have a chance. That would be quite ironic, France, the country spreading republican ideals all over Europe and overthrowing many old European monarchies, would go back to the system under which it evolved for more than 1000 years...

Apearrently the Capets were going to Brazil

I'm happy I subbed..

Great job and accurate facts

NICE!

Capetian Dynasty was a cadet branch of Robertians. You could mention that. It would make the video complete.

excelent, i was thinking about writing about them

Also the King of Belgium are also part of this since the First King of Belgium married the Daughter of the last King of France and had a child who mounted on the throne .

Nice

Nice.

+Ollie Bye That's film is Awesome but I found 1 mistake. In Poland also was the house of Valois. That was at the reign of Henri III de Valois(1573-1574 Poland, 1574-1589). That was the first elective king of Polish Commonwealth. He was chosen in 1573 by the polish sejm and he run away from Poland because his brother who was the King of France (Karl IX de Valois) is Dead.

Plantegenets eventually extinct. Habsburgs, extinct in the male line Ruriks and Romanovs: both gone. Nothing ever seems to stop the Capetian brood. At worst: one Capetian line will succeed another.

Good !

Im a Descendant of Louis II D’Anjou and of Hugh Capet so This is awesome to watch honestly

vive le Capetian. Give monarchy back!!!! Such a glory past of captian.

Makes a video about the Brazilian Empire, please.

So the Habsburgs (Lorraine Branch) were offered rule of space after Franco's death, if they had accepted it would be sorta weird since the decendents of the Capetians rule luxembourg, two rival dynasties now moved spots xD.

Why are they saying the house of Normandy is a separated line? Normandy did not come from the Capet branch, it can be traced back to the Viking Rollo who founded the hosue of Normandy.

Nice video, but around 1500 you could have added the Italian states claimed and taken by the French Capetian Kings like the Duchy of Milan or the Kingdom of Naples. I also suppose the goal of your video was not to portray the different colonial possessions that were held by the French, Spanish or other capetians...

Where do you get all this data from? Seems to me like one year of work... hahaha Do you do these videos all by yourself?

I made my intro video to my chanel yay ! and when I get my pc soon I get great videos up

Capetian Dynasty : **French** Napoleon III : well yes but actually not

In 1830 the Orleans dynasty took the place of the Bourbons until 1848 with Louis-Philippe.

Good video, but I think the french kings didn't held as much power as it seems on the maps during most of the middle ages due to feudalism (I'm not entirely sure, though, don't know that much about french history)

The iturbide house was the home of the first Mexican monarch, it comes from the asis meaning Capetian

what is with House of Anjou (House of Plantagenet, House of Lancaster, House of York and House of Tudor)

Ollie, do the House of Oldenburg next.

0:23 why is England blue?

In 1378 Poland was under House of Anjou? What?

Damn Karlings.

One of my ancestors was a capetian king.

Are the other colours related dynasties?

Imperio do Brasil... 1822/1889

that time when brazil was the whole capetian dynasty

Never knew the Bourbons still rule Spain.

The Normans and Plantagenets were vassals of the Capetians for their territories within the kingdom of France, but not for England, so England shouldn't be considered a "vassal thereof" of the Capetians.

how do you make one of these?

This video is nice but the color coding isn't very clear.

0:38 you messed things up when you painted England blue. The Plantagenets were vassals of French kings but only from their dominion in France and actually only nominally. At least under Henry II. You should rather exclude those territories from France instead of including England under the Capetian rule.

Map of Hungary-Croatia under Anjou dynasty is wrong. Croatia controled Dalmatia and western Bosnia back then. The map you used is Hungary-Croatia of 1868-1918.

what about the orleans house?

why spain get bourbon legacy all like luxemburg ? however , nice video , I will know more now

Stop removing the music from your videos:(

House of Carling!

Why would the land claim be pulled back by no force? Locals rebelling?

sooo, France and freinds?

The angevins in England were not Capetians there’s 2 houses of Anjou one belonging to the Capetians founded by Saint Louis younger brother which ruled over Hungary and Sicily and the other is completely different not even related to the Capetians at all

So... they have been i power for more than years now? fuck...

Please explain this to me, I'm confused: were the normans or the angevins capetians? I thought they weren't!

I want Monarchy and Feudalism back!

Ah, my glorious ancestors. The last time my direct ancestors were on the throne was in the 1200s in the Latin Empire. Ever since then its been collateral ancestors and cousins. Now, as a result of the failure of the Latin Empire, we're a bunch of middle class nobodies living in the USA, -_-

Why is everything blue? The Capetians didn't rule England. They barely ruled anything but a rather small region around Paris up until Philipp II Augustus.

Lol at Croatia with 19th century borders

why is England under capetian rule?

House of Normandy and Plantagents are not Capetings

This isn't accurate at all. The house of Capetians is much much bigger than that. You failed.
