Kings of France (FR)

Parentage of House of Capet and House of Valois: The House of Capet (French: Maison capétienne) ruled the Kingdom of France from 987 to 1328. It was the most senior line of the Capetian dynasty – itself a derivative dynasty from the Robertians. Most noble families of Europe trace their lineage to Charlemagne thru this family.

Starting point is Hugh Capet, grandson of the Italian Princess, Béatrice of Vermandois (c880-931), came to power. The direct line of the House of Capet came to an end in 1328, when the three sons of Philip IV (reigned 1285–1314) all failed to produce surviving male heirs to the French throne.
