It is among the largest and oldest royal houses in Europe and the world, and consists of Hugh Capetthe founder of the dynasty, and his male-line descendants, who ruled in France without interruption from toand again from to That line was succeeded by cadet branchesthe Houses of Valois and then Bourbonwhich ruled without interruption until the abolished the monarchy in The dynasty had a crucial role in the formation of the French state. For a detailed narration on the growth of French royal power, see Crown lands of France. Members of the dynasty were traditionally Catholic, and the early Capetians had an alliance with the Church. The Capetian alliance with the papacy suffered a severe blow after the disaster of the Aragonese Crusade. The later Valois, starting with Francis Iignored religious differences and allied with the Ottoman Sultan to counter the growing power of the Holy Roman Empire. Henry IV was a Protestant at the time of his accession, but realized the necessity of conversion after four years of religious warfare. The Capetians generally enjoyed a harmonious family relationship. By tradition, younger sons and brothers of the King of France are given for them to maintain their rank and to dissuade them from claiming the French crown itself. When Capetian cadets did aspire for kingship, their ambitions were directed not at the French throne, Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition at foreign thrones. In modern times, King Felipe VI of Spain is a member of this family, while Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg is of relation to the family by agnatic kinship ; both through the Bourbon branch of the dynasty. Along with the House of Habsburgarguably its greatest historic rival, it was one of the two oldest European royal . It was also one of the most powerful royal families in European history, having played a pre-eminent role in its politics for much Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition its existence. The name of the dynasty derives from its founder, Hughwho was known as "Hugh Capet". The meaning of "Capet" a nickname rather than a surname of the modern sort is unknown. While folk etymology identifies it with "cape", other suggestions suggest it to be connected to the Latin word caput "head"and explain it as meaning "chief" or "head". Historians in the 19th century see came to apply the name "Capetian" to both the ruling house of France and to the wider-spread male-line descendants of Hugh Capet. It was not Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition contemporary practice. The name "Capet" has also been used as a surname for French royalty, particularly but not exclusively those of the . InHugh Capet was elected to succeed Louis Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition of the Carolingian dynasty that had ruled France for over three centuries. By a process of associating elder sons with them in the kingship, the early Capetians established the hereditary succession in their family and transformed a theoretically electoral kingship to a sacral one. By the time of Philip II Augustuswho became king inthe Capetian hold on power was so strong that the practice of associate kingship was dropped. While the Capetian monarchy began as one of the weakest in Europe, drastically eclipsed by the new Anglo-Norman realm in who, as Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition of Normandywere technically their vassals and even other great lords of Francethe political value of orderly succession in the Middle Ages cannot be overstated. By comparison, the Crusader was constantly beset with internal succession disputes because each generation only produced female heirs. Even the English monarchy encountered severe succession crises, such as The Anarchy of the s between Stephen and Matilda, and the murder of Arthur I, Duke of Brittanythe primogeniture Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition of . The latter case would deal a severe blow to the prestige of King Johnleading to the eventual destruction of Angevin hegemony in France. In contrast, the French kings were able to maintain uncontested father-to-son succession from the time of Hugh Capet until the Capetian France 987- 1328 2nd edition crisis which began the Hundred Years' War of the 14th century. The dynastic surname now used to describe Hugh Capet's family prior to his election as King of France is "Robertians" or "Robertines. The Robertians probably originated in Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition county Hesbayearound Tongeren in modern-day Belgium. The Carolingian dynasty ceased to rule France upon the death of Louis V. With Hugh's coronation, a new era began for France, and his descendants came to be named the Capetians, with the Capetian dynasty and its cadet branches such as the House of Valois ruling France for more than years —, with some interruptions [note 1]. Over the succeeding centuries, Capetians spread throughout Europe, ruling every form of provincial unit from kingdoms to manors. Salic lawreestablished during the Hundred Years' War from an ancient Frankish tradition, caused the French monarchy to permit only male agnatic descendants of Hugh to succeed to the throne of France. However, Joan's paternity was suspect due to her mother's adultery in the Tour de Nesle Affair ; the French magnates adopted Salic law to avoid the succession of a possible bastard. Philip of Valoisthe late king's first cousin acted as regent, pending the birth of the king's posthumous child, which proved to be a girl. The English king did not find support among the French lords, who made Philip of Valois their king. From then on the French succession not only excluded females, but also rejected claims based on the female line Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition descent. This did not affect monarchies not under that law such as Portugal, Spain, Navarreand various smaller duchies and counties. Therefore, many royal families appear and disappear in the French succession or become cadet branches upon marriage. A complete list of the senior-most line of Capetians is available below. The Capetian Dynasty has been broken many times into sometimes rival cadet branches. A is a line of descent from another line than the senior-most. This list of cadet branches shows most of the Capetian cadet lines and designating their royal French progenitor, although some sub-branches are not shown. Throughout most of history, the Senior Capet and the King of France were synonymous terms. Only in the time before Hugh Capet took the crown for himself and after the reign of is there a distinction such that the senior Capet must be identified independently from succession to the French Crown. However, since primogeniture and the Salic law provided for the succession of the French throne for most of French history, here is a list of all the French kings from Hugh until Charles, and all the Capetian France 987-1328 2nd edition pretenders thereafter. All dates are for seniority, not reign. Many years have passed since the Capetian monarchs ruled a large part of Europe; however, they still remain as kings, as well as other titles. Currently two Capetian monarchs still rule in Spain and Luxembourg. The current legitimate, senior family member is Louis-Alphonse de Bourbonknown by his supporters as Duke of Anjouwho also holds the Legitimist Blancs d'Espagne claim to the French throne. Overall, dozens of branches of the Capetian dynasty still exist throughout Europe. Except for the founded by an illegitimate son of King John I of Portugalwho was himself illegitimateall current major Capetian branches are of the Bourbon cadet branch. Within the , many of these lines are themselves well-defined cadet lines of the House. It is estimated that the agnatic male line descendants of the Capetian dynasty consists of 6, people dead and alive [ citation needed ]. The small number of agnatic descendants of the kings of France, compared with a theoretical number, is explained by the frequent marriages between Capetian cousins between the 12th and 20th centuries.
