	Louis XVI of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Suspended and arrested during the insurrection of the 10th of August, he was tried by the National Convention, found guilty of treason with the enemy, and guillotined on January 21 1793.
		During the French Revolution, he was given the family name Capet (a faulty reference to Hugh Capet, the founder of the dynasty), and was called Louis Capet in an attempt to desecrate his status as king.
		Louis was nowhere near as reactionary as his right-wing brothers, the comte d'Artois and the comte de Provence, and he sent repeated messages publicly and privately calling on them to halt their attempts to launch counter-coups (often through his secretly nominated regent, former minister de Brienne).

		Most medieval historians would argue that the existence of France proper did not begin until the advent of the Capetian Dynasty in 987, or, at the very earliest, with the establishment of the Kingdom of Western Francia at the Treaty of Verdun in 843.
		After the July Revolution in 1830, the style "King of the French" was used instead of "King of France".
		Initially, this had some basis in fact - Henry VI of England had been recognized by his grandfather Charles VI as heir to the French throne under the terms of the 1420 Treaty of Troyes, and most of Northern France was under English control until 1435.

		French monarchical power was such that it exerted more influence on economic development than economic development exerted on it.
		The need to borrow for wars meant that monarchs had to decrease their risk profile through ceding control over taxation, funding of wars, and public debt to Parliament, so that people who were the sources of funding could decide which wars they wanted to fund.

		Her father was Henry VIII, the epitome of the Renaissance Monarch, confident in his ability to rule yet suspicious of the people surrounding him, well educated and civilised yet temperamental and capable of great brutality, priding on his piety and yet cynical enough to change religious policies based on the circumstances of the moment.
		She was easily the equal of her grandfather both in ruthlessness, constantly and harshly crushing conspiracies and revolts both in England and in Ireland, and in cold calculation as often revealed in examination of her devious diplomatic policies.
		She ruled a nation of roughly 4 million people yet she was easily among the greatest adversaries the monarchs of France and Spain were facing, being among the closest allies to both the Huguenots and the Dutch rebels.

	Talk:List of French monarchs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While tracing the birth of the modern French monarchy with the Treaty of Verdun can be persuasively argued, I feel that an explanation is needed for the layman why certain members of the Carolingian Dynasty are excluded.
		The French could make anyone king, but if they were to do it on the basis of hereditary "claims", it would depend which "throne" they were "restoring".
		In the case of the "French King or King of the French" I would think the advantage would go to the Comte de Paris, simply because he is French, lives in France, speaks French, and the decendent he is from (Louis Phillipe) ruled lastly before the Duc d'Anjou's (Louis XIV).
