Line of French Monarchs

Most of the entries on this page link directly to the Wikipedia entry. Those that are important to the packet instead link to a local page that either contains a detailed entry, or an entry that explains the specific reason the monarch is important to this packet and a link to the Wikipedia entry for more information. I present the line of Monarchs until the present day, just as I do for the English. After the final destruction of the Monarchy several branches of claimants have sought the french Throne. I have included links to those Wikipedia pages as well as links to the non-monarchy govenrments of France.
