Kingdom of France

Kingdom of France brings together several realms, from 990 to 1791. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1757, its lands covered about 802,277 km².

When the last Carolingian king of West Francia died in 987, the nobles elected Hugh Capet, whose family directly ruled only a small region around Paris. Over the next three centuries the Capetian kings steadily extended royal power over the great dukes and counts, and Philip II Augustus took Normandy and other lands from the English Angevin kings. The Hundred Years War with England, from 1337, nearly broke the kingdom until Joan of Arc helped revive the cause of Charles VII and the English were expelled by 1453. More about Kingdom of France.
