 The Salic Law
Philippe V died in 1322 leaving four daughters, and the throne passed to his brother Charles IV, who also died leaving only a daughter and a pregnant widow in 1328.
The next time the Salic Law was invoked in France was in the late 16th century, to rule out Spanish claims to the kingdom of France arising from the marriage of Élisabeth of France, sister of the last three Valois kings, to Philip II of Spain.
The Salic Law was introduced in Spain by Philip V, grandson of Louis XIV (though secretly repealed in 1789: doubts over the validity of this secret repeal gave rise to the Carlist claims to the Spanish throne in 1833, which continued until the 1930s when the Carlist line died out.

 H-France Reviews
It is only one of the many paradoxes surrounding the career of Philippe Ariès that he managed to find a niche in the French historical establishment only a few years before his death in 1984.
Philippe Ariès's early family life and his school years, Hutton argues convincingly, were particularly important in understanding both his unwavering commitment to traditionalist values as well as his later historical interests.
Perhaps because his parents were transplants from a colonial world they "held fast to an image of old France even more fervently than did their royalist counterparts in the metropôle." This was especially true of his mother from whom he inherited "his love of the imagined communities of old France..." (p.

 Philippe V
Philippe V, "the Tall", King of France, second son of Philippe IV "the Fair" and Jeanne of Navarre, received the county of Poitiers as an appanage, and was affianced when a year old to Jeanne, daughter and heiress of Otto IV, count of Burgundy.
Clemence's son, born on the 15th of November, lived only four days, and Philippe immediately proclaimed himself king, though several of the great barons declared that the rights of Jeanne, daughter of Louis X by his first wife, Margaret of Burgundy, ought to be examined before anything else was done.
Philippe as a reformer was in many ways before his time, but his people failed to understand him, and he died under the reproach of extortion.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Philip IV (The Fair)
In the articles Boniface VIII; Clement V; Molai; Templars, will be found an account of the relations of Philip IV with the Holy See; M. Lizerand, in 1910, has given us a study on Philip IV and Clement V, containing thirty-seven unpublished letters written by the two sovereigns.
Thus reorganized by France Christian Europe was (in the mind of Pierre Dubois) to undertake the Crusade; the Holy Land would be reconquered, and on the return, the Palaeologi, who reigned at Constantinople, would be replaced by the Capetian, Charles of Valois, representing the rights of Catherine de Courtenay to the Latin Empire of Constantinople.
This was fruitless labour, however, for Henry of Luxemburg was elected and Clement V, less subservient to the King of France than certain enemies of the papacy have said, hastened to confirm the election.

It was the first goal Japan had conceded in the competition and proved to be enough as France emulated Brazil as the only other country to hold three major international titles at the same time.
France created endless chances and could easily have racked up another five or six goals as Steve Marlet, Nicolas Anelka, the impressive Robert Pires, Sylvain Wiltord, and late substitutes Laurent Robert and Eric Carriere all went close.
