The Kings Of France Part 3 of 6 - The Capetians 

The constancy of the Capetian line was truly remarkable - 13 generations of monarchs handing the crown from father to son over a period of three and a half centuries. It makes one wonder how different medieval French history would have been if there had been a more troubled line of succession, as happened in England, for example, when kings like Edward the Confessor and Henry I died without legitimate male heirs.

I hadn't realised why Louis XVI was called Capet. Now I do. Thank you for this video! 🥰

This series has been wonderful, so informative! I now understand why Queen Marie Antoinette was referred to as "The Widow Capet". Thank you for these great videos!

J'adore! I can't wait for the other parts but I have to ask what comes after the six videos about the French royal houses

I'd love to see a video on the Tour de Nesle Affair. I hope I spelled that right.

It was a thrill to see a remnant of King Phillipe Auguste’s wall when we visited Paris almost a decade ago. I was pleasantly surprised that a part of it exists to this day!

Awesome! This is getting into the period of English history I know best, so I can vaguely follow the French history & tie stuff together, & this will be an excellent reference. Looking forward to the Valois dynasty! ⚜

Dear Madam, thank you very much for the impressive work you are doing 🙂 If I may, I'd like to put the stress on something that most of the people either don't know, or forget : Edward III was not the closest heir to the French crown through women (in his case, Isabelle de France) 🙂 Before him, there was Charles de Navarre, grandson of Louis X through his mother. And even before him, coming first to the claim, there was Philippe de Bourgogne, grandson of Philippe V through his mother Jeanne de France, duchesse de Bourgogne and Philippe V's daughter (Philippe V was THE LAST direct Capetian with issue). So you see, Edward came only third. He knew it. And so much so that he paid homage to Philippe VI and that the English Parliament stated that Edward had no right over the French crown (1329, if I remember well). The claim came long after the war had started, as a political strategy. But this had nothing to do with Edward's right 🙂 I know it is too late now for a change in your video, but knowing your passion for History, I thought you would be pleased to learn that 🙂 And if ever you have the possibility to change it, well, you will teach to your audience something that is rarely known 😉 Thanks again, and have a good day !

Katherine le Sage House of Valois - D’Anjou checking in We are the direct lineage ⚜️

I have two questions for kings of France. 1. Who is your favorite Mitford sister ? 2. So you think the monarchs of Britain should be knowledge as kings of France ?

Sisi and Leopoldina on Arte TV. The Capets on the Internet.

Louis IX was a very based and redpilled man

Capetians were also the founder of the kingdom of Portugal and ruled it all the way to the end with 2 interruptions with Habsburgs and Wettin

Phillip II seems like a fascinating character to me. I like the stories of Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart and Bad Prince John of England. Phillip II seems tied up in all these events. Wasn't he excommunicated? Have you done a program on Phillip II? And how about his sister Alice?🤴🏰🗡⚔🦁⚜

..oh those Capetains...can't keep'em down eh?@..^^...

Now there is a pretender to the throne of France. Louis Duc d'Anjou under the name of Louis XX of France

Hi, awesome live history video I enjoyed it. How are you and cute Rani your cat doing? I'm doing well. And so is my cat Benjamin. He says hi to you and cute Rani your cat. He sends his purrs. Does Rani your cat run alot.? My cat Benjamin likes to run alot. We have nice weather in Ontario Canada. How's the weather where you are? How's your vacation? Have a great day see you next video. 😊

Hi! Amazing video madame! please make a video about the Tour de Nesle affair?

I love your videos. I would suggest to always include a family tree as it helps to understand the material. I have traced my ancestors back to Arduin II "the Bald" d´Auriate, marquis of Turin who was the grandson of Hardouin, marquis of Neustria. His wife was Emilia di Mosezzo who was granddaughter of Matfrède, Comte di Mosezzon et Lomello (di Lodi e Milano), I and T. van Orléans-Eifelgau (van Neuchâtel). Do you have further information of any connection to the royal families? Thank you for your help!

Loving this overview!❤

Great Job! Thanks. I always wondered why French peeps don't study their own medieval history. In England and America we crave history. IMO French really do not know history and very little of their own history is taught in their schools. Authors of French historical books are few and far between. Why is this?....Yet we do hear much on the Revolution.

Merci for the new video. Thank you for doing these videos on the royal families of France.

👍👍👍

Fantastic 🎉! Merci 🌸♥️
