| - | The '''monarchs of France''' ruled, first as [[king]]s and later as [[emperor]]s (the Bonapartes only), from the [[Middle Ages]] to 1870. There is some disagreement as to when [[France]] came into existence. The earliest possible date would be the establishment of the [[Merovingian]] [[Franks|Frankish]] kingdom by [[Clovis I]] in 486 with the defeat of [[Syagrius]], the last [[Roman Empire|Roman]] official in [[Gaul]]. That kingdom's rulers were deposed in the 8th century. The [[Treaty of Verdun]] established the Kingdom of [[Western Francia]] in 843. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In light of these trends, this list begins with [[Charles the Bald]] and the Kingdom of Western Francia, originating in 843, the state which would directly evolve into modern France. For earlier Frankish monarchs, see [[List of Frankish Kings]].</onlyinclude><!-- See [[Wikipedia_talk:Featured_lists#Proposed_change_to_all_featured_lists]] for an explanation of this and other inclusion tags below --> | + | |

| - | In addition to the monarchs listed below, the [[List of British monarchs|Kings of England and Great Britain]] from 1340–1360 and 1369–1801 also [[English claims to the French throne|claimed the title of King of France]]. For a short time, this had some basis in fact — under the terms of the 1420 [[Treaty of Troyes]], [[Charles VI of France|Charles VI]] had recognized his son-in-law [[Henry V of England]] as regent and heir. Henry V predeceased Charles VI and so Henry V's son, [[Henry VI of England|Henry VI]], succeeded his grandfather Charles VI as King of France. Most of Northern France was under English control until 1435, but by 1453, the English had been expelled from all of France save [[Calais]] (and the [[Channel Islands]]), and Calais itself fell in 1558. Nevertheless, English and then British monarchs continued to claim the title for themselves until the creation of the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]] in 1801. Various English kings between 1337 and 1422 had also claimed the title of King of France, but only intermittently. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | The title "King of the Franks" ({{lang-la|Rex Francorum}}) remained in use until the reign of [[Philip IV of France|Philip IV]]. During the brief period when the [[French Constitution of 1791]] was in effect (1791–1792) and after the [[July Revolution]] in 1830, the [[Style (manner of address)|style]] "King of the French" was used instead of "King of France (and Navarre)". It was a constitutional innovation known as [[popular monarchy]] which linked the monarch's title to the ''people'', not to the ''territory'' of France. | + | |
