The throne would not have gone to Isabella, the potential heir was her son Edward III. This was all just politics. Philippe V argued against women inheriting the crown to prevent the daughters of Louis X from getting it (so that HE would become king). This ended up excluding his own daughters and nieces from the succession when the family ran out of men... Then they had to use the Salic law to justify that women couldn't even transfer the right to the crown to their sons, just to keep the king of England away from the French throne. The legal argument was very flimsy (making a convenient interpretation of a law that had been ignored for ages at that point) and everybody knew it.

@@cv4809 The French 'Louis' and German 'Ludwig' are both derived from the same Germanic name, 'Hludwig', meaning 'famous warrior' or something like that. The reason for the difference is that Hludwig, when used by Franks, could also be rendered as 'Chlodowig', which eventually turns into 'Clovis', and from that into 'Louis', whereas Germans, in a somewhat stereotypical display of efficiency, simply turned 'Hludwig' into 'Ludwig'. In this sense, 'Louis' and 'Ludwig' are definitely related, but one didn't really spring from the other. Compare to 'Lewis' in English, derived right from the French 'Louis', also part of this fun little family.

Fun Fact: Some bourbons are living in India from more than 400 years and Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark is a supporter of this house’s claim to the French throne, saying it is the oldest branch of the Bourbon family.

This is fascinating

10:50 - A third claimant to the French throne was Charles the Evil, the most senior grandson of Louis the 10th (through a female line). And while he did inherit Navarre from his mother Joah his claim to France was never exactly... supported by the majority. Incidentally he was also a male-only descendant of the Capetians through his paternal grandfather Louis of Evreus, a brother of Phillip the 4th and Charles of Valois.

Fun fact: If France had indeed adopted male-preference primogeniture rather than male-only primogeniture in the 14th Centruy, and Joan II of Navarre had been allowed to become Queen of France (and assuming this didn't alter any births/deaths/marriages), then Henry IV and the House of Bourbon would have ended up inheriting France anyway, only through his mother's line instead of his father's.

Charlemagne is NOT considered as the first French monarch. He is one of the most illustrious monarch in the history of France but the first one is Clovis. The House of France and the monarchy has been founded by Clovis. Most of French Kings have to be sacred at Reims to be legitimated, in reference to Clovis as it was the place he was baptized

Excellent video, just one thing bothered me : the first king of France isn't Charlemagne, whose father Pépin Le Bref was also king of France, but Clovis I, founder of the merovingian french dynasty. He is considered the first king of France since he brought us our oldest national cultural aspect : catholicism. Also, the oldest title which is currently possessed by France is the title of elder daughter of the Church which was given to Clovis' kingdom the day of his baptism, the 25 of décembre, 496. In all of France, in our national history we consider Clovis' baptism as the birthday of France.
