Napoléon III was the first French président and also the second Emperor of France after his pustch, a really underated ruler the modern Paris with all the Haussmanian buildings (le Paris d’Hausseman) was his thing !
@nebulordofficiel480 Napoléon II n'a jamais existé. Il aurait dû être l'Aiglon, fils de Napoléon 1er. Mais il est mort de la tuberculose très jeune. Napoléon III était le neveu de Bonaparte.
To note that an Italian pretender Giannino Baglioni born in Siena will claim as being the king John 1st posthumously, the title of King of France in the midst of the Hundred Years' War, while the King of France John II was captured by the English and imprisoned in London, and his eldest son the future Dauphin Charles V was challenged by the riot in Paris and forced to flee from the capital, The English kings Edward III and Charles II of Navarre, descendants of the wives of the last Capetian kings, also claim the throne of France. Baglioni manages to be recognized by the Italian cities and the head of the Roman republic Cola di Rienzo as well as by his "cousin" Capetian the king of Hungary who provides him with some troops to reconquer the kingdom of France , arrested in Provence when possession of the king of Naples allied with the king of France, he is captured and imprisoned and will die in prison in Naples unknown natural death or murdered officially in 1361. According to his story he was exchanged at birth by his nurse to escape the poisoning of the countess Mahaut d'Artois, Mother-in-law of the Count of Poitiers reigned over the kingdom after the death of his brother Louis X the Hutin and during the pregnancy of the queen wife of the deceased king. Indeed, given the Salian law prohibiting women from ruling in France, if the queen gave birth to a daughter, the count of Poitiers brother of the outgoing king became king of France while if the queen gave birth to a boy it was the latter who became king of France from his birth, depriving the count of Poitiers of the throne of France which will be the case with the birth of Jean 1s texcept if the latter died as a child , which will happen. Jean 1st dies 5 days after his birth so that his uncle the count of Poitiers becomes king of France under the name of Philippe V .Infant mortality was common at the time but public rumour will accuse the mother-in-law of the new king Philippe V, the countess Mahaut d'Artois to have poisoned the newborn king in order to allow his son-in-law to become king. Rumour has it that an investigation was ordered in 1317 which would exonerate Mahaut d'Artois but his son-in-law, King Philip V being in power many consider the investigation to have been distorted. This story is the plot of the 7th and last novel in the series Les Rois Maudits by the French writer Maurice Druon, which tells the life of the last kings of France of the Capetian dynasty and the beginning of the Hundred Years' War , George R.R Martin will point out that they inspired his literary series Game of Thrones. Les Rois Maudits will be adapted for French television twice in 1972 and 2005 but the 1972 version will have an extraordinary audience success and will be purchased by the BBC .
@@TallisKeeton you're saying shit. "Posthume" means "after the death", you can get a medal after your death so "tu es décoré d'une medaille à titre posthume". If a novelist die before the release of his last novel, it will be said that "le roman est sorti à titre posthume"
Il me semble et après vérification sur wikipédia que Jean I est mort quinze jours après son père, au cinquième jour de sa vie. Son nom n'est donc pas dû à sa courte vie et règne mais à sa naissance après la mort de son prédecesseur.
8:08 The wrong map under Napoleon 1st reign. At the peak of his glory (1811/12) the european coast from Gulf of Gascony to the border between Germany and Denmark was french.The Mediterranean shore from Barcelona to Roma was also french along with countries like Belgium,Netherlands,Rhineland,Piedmont, papal states. 200 000 km2 are missing
J'adore quand tu parles français, avec l'accent américain c'est very cute! The golden globe and the scepter held by the King symbolise his God-given powers. The globe is the Earth (yes, no flat earth people in France back then), the physical world, it means that the monarch rules over his land, while the scepter symbolises his power of life and death over his people and the ability to give justice (le bras séculier). The History of France is very complicated, but very interesting.
It's complicated, sometimes title were given after the king's rule. Charles VI le Fou became crazy before his death, people know him by this title but it wasn't his ruler title at first. Saint Louis is Louis IX, that explains the gap between Louis VIII and Louis X in the timeline. And Jean I the posthume wasn't even born when his father died, and was crowned the very moment he was born. But he died 5 days after his birth ...
I love when you stop the video and say : "Pepin le bref" , I "like their name". Super !! Thanks u, as a french citizen, I appreciate so much your videos and your way of thinking... 😘😆😘😄😄
Chirac was the last president. Since then, the dynasty of clowns started. It started earlier than Clovis. The 1st dynasty (mérovingiens) is named after Mérovée (around 450). But we can trace the frank kings in the area up until the 3rd century (around 280).
one could argue the merovingiens were not really the rulers of france, more like an elite having control over multiple non united forces, that's also why clovis is remembered, even if the franks were still not the french people, he at least asserted power and administrative control over the territory of france.

Les prénoms étaient choisis selon les saints sur le calendrier. Il y avait donc beaucoup de gens qui avaient le même prénom. On ajoutais alors un un mot en rapport avec le physique ou la vie de la personne pour la différencier. Par exemple, si il y avait 20 personnes dans le village qui s'appelaient "Guillaume" alors celui qui était boulanger, on le surnommait "guillaume boulanger" ce qui avec le temps donnait par déformation le nom de de famille"Boulanger". Si un "guillaume" dans le village était un peu étrange, alors "guillaume le fou" etc...
5:15 I am surprised you didn’t react to saint Louis since a town in your country is named after him ! 6:30 Charles VI le fou was in good health when he became king, his wife Isabeau de Bavière, a traitor, ruined his health and then sold France to England, it was during the 100 year war. 8:24 Napoléon III is shown here as an emperor but he was the first president elected in 1848, then made a coup d’etat and became emperor. He is Napoleon the first’s nephew. You made me laugh when you noticed that René Coty was glabre ! I was born under him, he left the souvenir of a simple and very nice man.

Actually in France (it's a simplification because a lot of thin changed etc…) king were not chosen but it was father to son. And the nickname like "Le fou" or "Le gros" came later and could change during or after the life of the king. Charles Le fou was actually absolutely crazy (he sometime thought himself as made of glass) and that was seen as a punition from god or a malediction.
@darmius4697 Well if I'm not wrong he was just a bit disturbed at the beginning, enough for worrying today but not enough for preventing him to be a king. And then... Then it became worse and worse...
Le ball and the scepter was the symbol of royalty: the scepter was for the power, the ball is the world... ultimately, it meant power over the christian world (that's why sometimes, there is a cross on the ball).
Hello Uncle D, Most of the French don't know 1/3 of their kings. We know the most important, (Vercingetorix, not really a king but rather a lord Gaulois who succeeded in unifying the Gauls against Caesar and holding on to him but who was defeated at Alésia), Clovis, Charles Martel, Pépin le Bref, Charlemagne (because he was the first emperor of the Franks), Dagobert 1 (especially because of a nursery rhyme that all French children know by heart - “It’s King Dagobert who has put his pants on backwards”), Hugues Capet (because he is the first French pope), Philippe Auguste (because he is the first monarch to be given the title of King of France, the others were called King of the Franks), Saint-Louis (because he was considered a saint during his lifetime), Philippe Le Bel (because of the Templar affair), Louis XI (more mainly because of his famous hat decorated with coins, but also because he disguised himself to mingle with the little people and listen to what was said about him. He was nicknamed “The Spider,” being redoubtable in politics, very patient in achieving his ends and particularly intelligent in foiling the traps of his enemies, his vengeance, most often, was implacable, such as the bishop of Périgueux, the duke of Alençon or even the grand seneschal of Normandy would have been locked up for years in small wooden cages suspended from the ceiling and in which one couldn't stand up, fed on dry bread and water), François The first (notably because of the famous battle of Marignan in 1515, but also because he installed Leonardo da Vinci at the court of France, considering him his father, the latter also bequeathed him the Mona Lisa, today exhibited at the Louvre Museum, as well as many other works, plans, books, etc.), Charles IX, his brother Henri III, his mother Catherine de Medicis and his sister “The queen Margot” (essentially because of the very famous Saint-Barthélémy Massacre in Paris where thousands of protestants was killed during one night and one day particularly horrible), Henry IV (for the same reason, and because he's a survivor of this terrible massacre, saved by the queen Margot and because he restored peace between Catholics and Protestants in France), Louis XIII (the Bourbon's dynasty), Louis XIV (everybody in the World knows this king and Versailles), Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (also known worldwide as Louis XIV, but not for the same reasons, lol), Danton, Robespierre, Marat - and maybe Chabot, the fourth character? - in order of appearance in the pic (because they were the principal actors of the French Revolution and finished all to be assassinated or decapitated), Napoleon I (here again, everybody in the world knows Napoleon), Louis XVIII, Charles X, Louis-Philippe I and Napoleon III (for various reasons, but mainly because they were the last short-lived kings and emperors of France before the French Republic was irrevocably established). Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
It's sad that we know so little about the history of our kings of France, because their history is fascinating, full of battles, plots and murders to monopolize power (How they killed each other between brothers and nephews in the Middle Ages, it's incredible 😮 !!!).
France exist officially since 843 when the Verdun's treaty formalised the existence of three kingdoms coming from the breaking of Charlemagne's empire between Occidental Francia, Middle Francia ( who ceased fast to exist ) and Eastern Francia who will become Germany. Before that, France was made of several kingdoms hold by the Merovingians. Merovingians ruled from about 350 to 751 when Childeric III was sent to a monastery with the pope's agreement to let the crown to Pepin, the effective ruler of the kingdom, beginning the Carolingian dynasty. They ruled from 751 to 987 until the death of Louis V who died at 18 without a son. The throne went to Hugues Capet whom family held more or less the true power in the kingdom in the 8th and 9th century. The capetians assumed the throne from 987 to 1792 and from 1814 to 1848. Louis X, father of Jean, died some month before Jean's birth so he became king at his birth. Unfortunately, he died 5 days later and the throne went to Philippe, Louis' brother. Charles VI was effectively crazy. He became nuts in his 20's by killing some servants when he though they were about to kill him. He recovered somewhat but after he almost died in a real fire things went worst. His uncles were from that day the effective rulers of the kingdom. During the beginning of the French republic, executive power was held by a comitee for Safety Public. Most of their members were beheaded during and after the Terror era. Napoleon II died in his 20's in exile and his reign lasted between his fathers's abdication and the coming of Louis XVIII to the throne, about 10 days later. Louis XVII died prisonner at 11 during the Revolution. Napoleon III was the first elected president of the II republic in 1848. He hold a coup 4 years later because the constitution banned him from being reelected. He became emperor in 1852. He lost his throne in 1870 after he lost the war against Prussia. Felix Faure is the only president who died at the Elysée. He died from a stroke during a sexual encounter with his mistress. Your Clinton was a joke to compare with ! :) Paul Deschanel resigned less than a year after his election because he felt he was becoming mentally fragile and insane after he felt from a train during a night travel. After some rest, he became senator. Paul Doumer was shot during an official visit along side with the yougoslavian king. The murdurer was trialed, sentenced to death and beheaded soon after. Albert Lebrun was the last president of the III republic and was replaced by Pétain and the French State, a nazi's puppet state. After the war, he tried to finish his mandate but the IV republic was proclamed instead. Phillip Auguste is the first king we have a somewhat good portrait of his face. Before him, we have no idea of what they could look like. Most of the paints we can see here were made in the XIXe century. And you're right. We only know few kings among them for a reason or another.
Good explanations but with some mistakes The president of the republic Paul Doumer was not assassinated with the king of Yugoslavia. He was assassinated in 1932 by a white Russian protesting against the recognition of the communist USSR by France. It was the foreign minister Louis Barthou who was assassinated in Marseille in 1934 with King Alexander 1st of Yugoslavia, the first attack by the way film of history. President Sadi Carnot was also assassinated in 1894 by an Italian anarchist;It is also General de Gaulle who holds the record for assassination attempts for a French head of state with 32 assassination attempts that all failed, before King Henry IV (1589-1610) who suffered 25 assassination attempts, the last of which was fatal with Ravaillac’s stab wounds in 1610. It is the king of France Louis XIV who had the longest reign in history attested with more than 72 years of reign from 1643 to 1715, while it is the King of France Louis XIX who had the shortest reign in history barely 5 minutes, the time to sign after his father King Charles X, on August 2, 1830 his act of abdication in favor of his nephew Henry V who will be dethroned after 7 days of reign by his cousin the Duke of Orleans became the 9 August 1830 King Louis-Philippe 1st. Louis XIX and Henri V do not appear on the list when they have in law to reign because the principle of heredity then constitutional made them as heirs of right of the crown kings of France in the event of a vacancy . We can also notice that France had 2 kings called Charles III, Charles III the fat and Charles III the simple . The 1st reign from 884 to 888 and the second from 898 to 929 even if he was dethroned in 923.French historians embarrassed have long presented Charles the fat as a regent during the minority of his nephew Charles III the simple while being crowned king of the francs in Reims he must appear in the list of kings of France. . This peculiarity is due to King Charles V (1364-1380) who was the first to decide to give the numbering of the kings of France but the problem arose with Charles III the fat who when he was elected king of the Franks by the French aristocrats who in 884 his nephew the young Charles the simple because that-He was a minor, and was already the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. During his reign in the Hundred Years' War, when he fought against the English and the Navarese, King Charles V saw his legitimacy as king of France challenged by foreign kings from their mother’s royal line, King of Navarre Charles II and King of England Edward III, so that to recall the historical precedent of a foreign king having been appointed by the aristocrats to govern the country in place of a French king judged too young was not favorable for his cause. Thus Charles III the Fat disappeared from the list of kings of France and became a simple "regent" during the minority of the young Charles III the Simple. Then when the 3rd Republic was proclaimed in 1870 following the Franco-German war where the new unified German empire had taken from France the provinces of "Alsace-Moselle. It was difficult for the nationalist French republican government partisan of military revenge against the"Germany to explain that a German emperor had also ruled over France, so that Charles III the great emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and king of the Franks was erased from the history books. Another king will also be erased from the tablets of history it will be the cardinal of Bourbon proclaimed king in 1589 by the French Catholics under the name of Charles X after the assassination of King Henry III ;Indeed, the majority of Catholic France does not recognize the king of Navarre Henri de Bourbon as legitimate king of France because he is not only a foreigner (because at that time Navarra was an independent state ) but above all protestant, therefore heretic, whereas the oath of the King’s coronation requires him to fight against heresy in his kingdom and to cast out the heretics, so that Henry of Navarre, a Protestant and therefore heretic, cannot be sanctified. It is the civil war between Catholics and Protestants but the luck of Henry of Navarre is that his cousin the already aged cardinal of Bourbon dies quickly on May 15, 1590 and that the other candidates rivals to the throne have joined his party, namely the Prince of Condé who is also a Protestant and the Prince of Conti who is Catholic but allied with Henry of Navarre. Finally, in 1593, Henry of Navarre decided to renounce his Protestant religion and become a Catholic so that he could be crowned king of France and take the oath of coronation. It’s the formula "Paris is worth a mass"But the edict of tolerance of Nantes in 1598 of king Henri IV granting to his former Protestant coreligionists freedom of worship is considered by the Catholic population as a violation of the oath of his coronation which was to lead him to fight and drive out the Protestant heretics. In this capacity, considered as king perjure to his oath, he will suffer numerous assassination attempts of which the last in 1610 will be fatal . But upon his accession to the throne in 1593, Henry IV had the dated acts of the reign of Charles X cardinal of Bourbon erased and the coins minted with the effigy of the latter withdrawn , and will date all the acts of August 2, 1589 the date of the death of King Henry III of which he considers himself as the only heir and not from the date of his official coronation in 1594. Thus, long before Stalin had his rivals erased from the official photos and acts of the USSR, Henry IV had Cardinal Charles X erased from official acts and history.There are indeed other heads of state missing as directors like Barras,Sieyes who from 1795 to 1799 exercised power in France on a rotating basis every year when the provisional heads of government under the 2nd Republic between the proclamation of theFebruary and December 1848 date of the election of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte as president or between September 1870 and August 1871 after the proclamation of the 3rd Republic until the election by the parliamentarians of Adolphe Thiers as president of the The French Republic or the provisional heads of government between 1944 and 1946 or Alain Poher, president of the Senate who constitutionally exercised the functions of the republic on an interim basis in 1969 between the resignation of General de Gaulle and the election of his successor Pompidou, then in 1974 between the death of President Pompidou and the election of his successor Giscard d'Estaing. These provisional rulers were, however, at the origin of important reforms such as in 1944 the introduction of generalized social security in France or the definitive abolition of slavery in the French colonies in 1848 after a first abolition by the committee of public salvation led by Robespierre in 1794.
@@alexandrec.2939 Thank you. It is true that the history of France is very old, very complex, very rich and also very long as the list of its heads of state. There were also the Gallic emperors (Postumus, Victorinus, Tetricus) the time of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD which autonomized the Gaul name of present-day France to ensure the defense of the country against the Germanic invasions that the Roman Empire in full disintegration could no longer assume. Other monarchs are missing as the Carolingian Guy de Spoleto crowned in February 888 but defeated by the Count of Paris Eudes in June 888 who temporarily took the crown to the Carolingian dynasty and will be the ancestor of the Capetian dynasty which with Hugues Capet elected king of the francs in 987 will definitively eliminate the Carolingian dynasty , so that the Capetian dynasty is the one which will rule over France for the longest time from 987 to 1328 without interruption and more if we adds the earlier reigns of Eudes I (888-898), his brother Robert I (922-923) and the son-in-law of the latter Raoul I (923-936), thus forging the French identity because the Capetians before becoming king were titled duke of France (which corresponds to the current region of Ile de France around Paris) .Little-known fact the royality was almost restored in France in 1873 because the majority of the deputies elected in 1871 after the fall of the second empire of Napoleon III were royalists and considered the republic proclaimed in 1870 as a temporary regime but they were divided on the choice of the king. The Catholic legitimists wanted the restoration of the former king Henry V who had briefly been king from 2 to 9 August 1830 after the abdication of his grandfather Charles X and his uncle Louis XIX. The more liberal Orleanists were supporters of the Duke of Orléans, grandson of King Louis Philippe who had ruled from 1830 to 1848 before being overthrown by the 2nd Republic but whom the followers of Henry V considered as the usurper of the throne of the latter in 1830 ,whose father Philippe Egalité then deputy had voted the death of King Louis XVI guillotined .An agreement was finally found , the Orleanists agreeing provisionally to leave the throne for the restoration of Henri V but the latter was childless, his successor would be his cousin the Duke of Orleans ;But while the king’s carriage for his return to Paris was ready, Henry V suddenly demanded that the tricolour flag from the French revolution be replaced by the lilies-decorated flag of the Bourbon dynasty. The army refused to abandon the tricolour flag, thus failing the restoration. The displeased royalist deputies decided to wait for the death of Henry V already aged in order to call to the throne the duke of Orleans who accepted the tricolor flag as his grandfather Louis Philippe who had fought in the revolutionary armies at Valmy and Jemmappes. The assembly elects a monarchist president, Marshal Mac Mahon , which, when Henry V died, was to give way to the Duke of Orléans for the restoration of the kingship.The deputies decided to give the president of the republic a mandate long enough to allow him to wait until Henry V’s death, ten years and then finally reduced to seven years.This is why all the presidents of the French republic were elected until 2002 for a term of 7 years renewable since then reduced to 5 years.and that we talk in France of a republican monarchy with a president who is the head of state who has more power than the Western world (for example, he can decide alone to declare war, whereas in the USA it is the congress that declares war).Lack of luck for the royalists, Henry V died in 1883 and meanwhile they lost the majority in parliament to the Republicans in 1877 who forced in 1879 the marshal Mac Mahon to resign and elected in his place a truly republican president Jules Grévy.Ending the hopes of restoration of the royalists. A caprice of Henry V who cost him the throne of France and thus allowed the installation in the duration of the republic in France until today.
Notez que jusqu'au 12ème siècle et Philippe-Auguste, les rois présentés étaient "rois des Francs" et pas "rois de France". C'est à dire qu'ils étaient les dirigeants du peuple germanique qui avaient envahi la gaule romaine, mais les Gaulois romanisés qui vivaient là (et dont descend une majorité de Français) n'étaient pas vraiment concernés puisqu'il étaient soumis à l'occupant. A ce titre, on peut considérer que tous les Empereurs romains jusqu'à la chute de l'empire romain d'occident étaient aussi les dirigeants du territoire de l'actuelle France. Ce n'est qu'avec Philippe-Auguste que le roi est devenu le roi d'un pays, la France, et de tous ses résidents, les Français, et pas seulement roi d'une certaine population au sein d'un territoire. Donc d'un point de vue objectif, l'Histoire de France au sens de la France comme entité politique ne commence qu'à partir de Philippe-Auguste en 1180.
Fun fact : Clovis father was still a local governor under the last years of the Roman empire. When it finally fell apart, those provincial rulers became kings by default, therefore beginning new dynasties. Clovis is the first of the Merovingians. So the first franc elite lived quite like the roman elite of that time, because in a way, that's exactly what they were. Second fun fact : You can see that Charles Martel was only "maire du palais", which was a title under the king of the Francs. But at that time, the Merovingians powers had become very low, ans when Charles Martel got rid of the Sarrasins in Poitiers, he became famous enough to usurp power, depose the last Merovingian king and start his own dynasty : the Carolingians. I could go on ^_^
Not entirely correct. True, the King of the Franks also held a position in the Roman Empire als local governor ever since the Franks were allowed by Emperor Julian II in 358 to settle in the lands called "Toxandria", the north of Belgium and the Netherlands south of the Rhine, as "foederati imperii", allies of the empire. But the Franks and their Kings had and kept their own language, laws, and religion which they had not in common with either Romans or Gallo-Romans, whom they called "Wala" or "Walloons". This province only still was Roman als an institutional formality, not in any real effec, though the Franks protected their land and hence the empire against other tribes that may have otherwise crossed the Rhine and thus lived up to the terms of their alliance with Rome. Clovis and his direct guard of vassal-warriors converted to christianism somewhere around 499 but they and their Frankish tribesmen kept their laws and language for centuries to come as an ethnic minority in the lands that were to become France. It is true that their conversion facilitated intermarriage between the Frankish warrior nobility and the Gallo-Roman senatorial class of Gaul. The Franks brought feudality between kings and their vassals as a ruling system to Europe whereas they grafted their domination over the land onto the estates of the gallo-roman elites, which they partly took over. evolved into the domanial system. In the end, the Franks only kept their language in the North of Belgium and the Netherlands, up till this day.
Celui qui connait un peu l'histoire de France ne peut qu'être stupéfait de voir comment la dynastie des capétiens a donné des rois gigantesques ... Je dirais colossaux en pesant mes mots. Beaucoup d'historiens considèrent que c'est grâce à la loi salique qui a permis à une dynastie de se maintenir et d'assurer une continuité en interdisant l'hérédité de la mère ... L'histoire de ses rois montrent que quelque chose d'incroyable s'est produit compte tenu de leur compétences et de l'œuvre immense qu'ils ont légué... Une seule dynastie ...
If we talk about today’s countries in Europe theres actually a lot of kings/ queens left UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain, Luxembourg (sort of), Denmark, Norway, Sweden
Hello I'm French but I don't speak English very well. I speak French now with simple words : Sarkozy, Hollande et Macron sont détesté en France. Nous avons eu de bons présidents et de bons rois. Je suis fière d'être français et je suis fière de voir des américains s'intéresser à la France (thanks American people to interesting France ❤️❤️🙏) . Merci et Vive la France 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
Des bons rois ? Pour qui ? Y'a pas vraiment de roi de France qui se soit intéressé au sort du peuple français, leurs seules préoccupations étaient leur pouvoir et leurs prestige. C'est d'ailleurs pour cela qu'il a fallu s'en débarrasser d'une manière assez radicale...
@mfcq4987 il faut connaître l'histoire de France, l'Église (donc l'institution) a tenté de devenir supra national, ce qui signifie que le roi aurait vécu tout aussi bien mais avec une police en plus pour le maintenir au pouvoir. Et pourtant les rois ont toujours rejeté les demandes de l'Église, pourquoi ? Car ça aurait détruit la France (comme aujourd'hui avec l'UE) et ça aurait touché directement le peuple français. Donc oui on a eu de bons rois, de bons dirigeants mais nous avons eu aussi des mauvais.
@@darkssitharies6107 Mais qu'est ce que vous racontez ? L'église catholique a toujours été supra-nationale puisque son siège est à Rome et l'a toujours été (sauf pendant la période où les rois de France ont imposé que les papes siègent en Avignon). Et les rois de France ont toujours instrumentalisé l'Eglise à leur profit puisque leur pouvoir était prétendument "de droit divin", attesté par l'Eglise. Il a fallu attendre 1905 et la loi de séparation de l’Église et de l’État instaurant la laïcité pour que l'église lâche sa main mise sur les affaires publiques...
At primary school, we needed to learn about the main kings of France. Your mother surely did. And about Macron, between us, she's right. Faites lui une bise de la part d'un compatriote 😊
At Charlemagne's time and before, all chidrens of the king got their share ( which is why Charlemagne's kingdom was divided between his 3 sons). In fact, having Louis 3 & Carleman 2 working together was a good thing at this time (keeping the kingdom together)
For more informations, I tried to sum up some. ^^ The "ball" some of them are holding is called (in French) "Orbe Crucigère" wikipedia say : "The cruciform orb or cruciferous globe (globus cruciger in Latin, "cross-bearing globe") is a sphere surmounted by a cross used as a symbol of authority since the Middle Ages, in Western Christian iconography." It doesn't show in the video, but during the monarchy, five dynastie ruled France : Les Mérovingiens (From Clovis Ist to Childéric III) Les Carolingiens (From Pépin le Bref to Louis V le Fainéant) Les Capétiens (From Hugues Capet to Charles IV le Simple) Les Valois (From Philippe VI le Fortuné to Henri III) Les Bourbon (From Henri IV to Louis XVI then from Louis XVIII to Charles X) Les Orléans (With a only king, Louis-Philippe Ist) Jean I Posthume was the only king to rule from birth to death. As it's name indicate (posthumous), he was born after the death of his father, and immediately after his birth, he became the king, but he died at five day old. Louis X, Philippe V and Charles IV were all brothers and sons of Philippe IV le Bel. Charles VI suffers from several mental diseases, and it was truly a problem for French, for exemples, he signed a treaty with the king of England, and he agreed to give him the title of "Roi de France".. So yes, it's unfortunate François II, Charles IX and Henri III were, again, three brothers, sons of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis. During the time between Louis XIV and Louis XVI, they weren't the son of the king : Louis XV is the great grandson of Louis XIV. And Louis XVI was the grandson of Louis XV. It's funny to notify that the father, the grandfather, the great-grandfather and all the men between Louis XVI and Louis XIV were all called Louis ^^ Louis XVIII and Charles X were the two youngest brothers of Louis XVI Napoleon the third was the nephew of Napoleon the first (technically, the son of Napoleon reign for 16th days (22th june to 8th july 1815), so he was Napoleon II) For the republic : During the Convention, the four people that are represented on this timeline are (from left to right and from up to down) : Georges Danton - Maximilien Robespierre - Jean-Paul Marat - And Louis Antoine de Saint-Just Actually in 1871, some French wanted a new comeback from the king, but the proposed king wanted to change the flag (the tricolore, Blue, White and red) to the ancient flag from the kingdom of France (White with fleur de lys), but no one wanted that flag so Henri "V" refused to comeback. It doesn't show there but there was 5 different republic : The first is the one between Louis XVI and Napoléon the first The second one is the one after Louis-Philippe and before Napoleon III (Well, Napoleon the third was the president ^^) The third one is between Napoleon III and Philippe Pétain (who was the dictator during the WWII and the invasion of France) The fourth one is the one with Vincent Auriol and René Coty And finally the fifth is the one started by Charles De Gaulles that still exist nowadays. I know almost of the french king and emperor, and all the president of the Fifth and fourth republic. I'm still learning the third republic To the people brave enough to read this, I hope it was clear and that you learn something ^^

Saint-Louis est à l'origine d'un des traits d'humour les plus célèbres de la politique française récente. Saint-Louis (Louis IX en réalité) est un roi qui a profondément réformé la Justice, instaurant notamment la "présomption d'innocence" (d'où sa canonisation). Il était volontiers représenté à l'image du roi Salomon en rendant la justice sous un chêne du parc du Château de Vincennes. Ce qui a fait dire au député André Santini, à propos du ministre de la Justice Pierre Arpaillange en poste en 1989 : "Si Saint-Louis rendait la justice sous un chêne, Arpaillange la rend comme un gland" (en anglais "If Saint Louis dispensed justice under an oak tree, Arpaillange dispenses it like an acorn"), sachant que le mot "gland" est utilisé de manière péjorative en français pour désigner un imbécile et un incapable...
To be precise the first president of France was elected in 1848, its was Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1951 he decided to do like his uncle ( Napoleon Bonaparte -> Napoléon 1er ) and became emperor under the name of Napoléon III. Napoléon II existed, he was the son of Napoléon 1er and Marie Louise of Austria. He died at 21 yo. Honorable mention to Napoléon IV, the son of Napoléon III. After the deafeat of 1870 against Prussia, Napoléon III went in England and died few years later. His son wanted to be a soldier. The queen Victoria accepted and he was sent in Africa. His squad was attacked by Zulu warriors. The lengends says that all the soldiers run away but he was the only one who fought. He died, killed by dozens of spear hits.
3:25 i'm french and yes we called our king "le gros" in english it's "the fat" because at the time being fat was a sign of health and long life. And at 6:27 "le fou" so "the crazy" was because he had a strange disease and sometime he did really weird things. Today we know the thing that he had but at this time it was crazy and completly new.
7:42 Yeah that's la Révolution right there. At first, they installed a constitutional monarchy (i.e. the king, Louis XVI, was still king, but he was bound by a Constitution and had to share power with an elected Assemblée), but shenanigans happened and they deposed the king, turning France into a republic (which ended when Napoléon Bonaparte crowned himself emperor). The First Republic did not have a single head of state before Napoléon's coup, so whoever made the video had to be creative for the illustration. For la Convention, they decided to put portraits of four influential politicians at the time: (from left to right, top to bottom) Georges Danton, Maximilien Robespierre, Jean-Paul Marat, and Camille Desmoulins. They were not the heads of state, they're just a way to represent the political situation during that time period. They were also not the only influential politicians of the time.
I only know the names of those kings who appear often in historic movies :) Clovis I, Charlemagne, Luis the Saint, Luis XIV, XV, XVI, Luis II Auguste, Napoleon, Filip (the one fighting against Templars), Napoleon III, and I read bits and pieces about some of Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties.
Hello French colonies in America are missing. French colonization of the Americas began in the 16th century and continued until the 18th century. France built a colonial empire in North America, called New France, stretching from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to the Rocky Mountains in the west and to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. The French also colonized the Antilles: Santo Domingo, Saint Lucia, Dominica, as well as Guadeloupe and Martinique, still French. In South America, they attempted to establish three colonies, one of which remains, today, Guyana. During this period of colonization, the French founded, starting in 1608 in Quebec, New France in its "provinces" of Acadia, Canada, the Pays d'en Haut (Great Lakes) and Louisiana, Montreal and Baton Rouge, Detroit, Mobile, New Orleans or St. Louis currently located in the United States; but also elsewhere in North America, including Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien in Haiti; Saint-Louis de Maragnan in Brazil
Pour info, la boule appelée orbe que les différents rois tiennent dans leur main est connu sous le nom de "globe crucigère" !

... and the map is incorrect. Brittany was independant and was rattached to France when Anne de Bretagne, last duchess of Brittany, married two kings of France, one after the other, Charles VIII and Louis XII. Normandie was also independant from the 911 to 1315.
Yeah 481. France was already as old as the US are today a millennia ago. Pépin le Bref literally means Pip the Short. And no, it is not a coincidence, Pippin was named after him.
'Le Bref' same root as brief, mean short, not high size. I discoverd most of them now ! The firsts were the continuation of Western Roman empire, mostly Charlemagne in 800, after the invasion by the germans Franks in about 480 (so 'France'= country of the Franks) ! Thank you😊
3:25 c'est simple tu vas voir, en faite les nom de famille n'existé pas forcément à cette époque. Donc pour reconnaître les personnes avec qui on pouvait parler, parfois on les appelé par leur métier comme laura failepain (fait le pain) ou un très physique comme Charles le gros. Et pour le chiffre après leur prénom, c'est parce que ce sont par exemple le 3ème roi à porter se nom.
The "boule" en or - usually with a cross atop means that the king is regent between heavens and earth. (cross is heavens and boule is earth) also note that the staff the king is holding is always pointing towards the heavens.
About Charles 7 le fou, yeah that's the problem with monarchy. When the king becomes crazy you can't replace it XD He was called that because he had episodes of craziness, like hunting with his servants and drawing his sword to attack the servants.... He was also one of the kings during the 100 years war, and he's the one who lost Paris to the English.....
In fact, Louis the XV sold Lousiana to Spain, Napoleon took it back when he won war against Spain later, and sold it to USA right away to finance its european wars
@@Coincouain75Exactl.; Knowing that the Lousiane named in honor of King Louis XIV, corresponds not only to the current American state of Louisiana but to a territory that went from the border of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico encompassing 13 of the present American states, some of which have retained cities with their French names such as Detroit, Saint Louis or Nouvelle Orleans.
The lazy nickname does not come from his character but because of the brevity of his reign just one year and his accidental death during a hunt at his young age almost 20 years, he did not have time to make the nickname Made Null. Indeed, one must be wary of nicknames given to the king that do not always have the same meaning as in our time or were given many centuries after their reign. Thus John II le Bon, does not mean a good, generous or kind character but his bravery . Thus he was captured by the English at the battle of Maupertuis in 1356 because his code of honour forbids him to flee and he will fight with the help of his 14-year-old son at his side, Philippe future duke of Burgundy who guides his shots "Father, keep left, keep right" because King John is blinded by the blood that flows on his helmet visor and his eyes after receiving two head wounds As Charles VI was not nicknamed during his reign the Fol, the crazy but the Beloved because the French people were sympathetic to his illness and misfortune. It was only several centuries later that he was designated as Charles VI le fol. Louis VIII called the Lion because of his qualities as a warrior and he also almost became king of England when the English barons rebelled against King John without Earth who had appreciated his qualities as a warrior during his victory over the English army at la Roche on Moines in 1214, called to his aid in 1216 and Louis, then a simple heir of the French king Philippe II Auguste, landed in England with his army, roused the last supporters of Jean sans Terre and was proclaimed King of "England in London on 2 June 1216.But on 14 October 1216, the king of England John without Earth in flight , dies brutally leaving a child of 10 years Henry . The English barons who prefer a 10-year-old child that they can dominate rather than an adult king like Louis, will then gradually rally to the son of Jean sans Terre . Thus Louis abandoned by most of his former allies, in numerical inferiority and isolated in England become hostile is defeated at Lincoln and locks himself in the fortress waiting for reinforcements from France sent by his White Blanche of Castile. But the fleet that brings the relief army of France is decimated by the storm and the rest of the fleet is destroyed by the English fleet. Thus, Louis must then renounce the throne of "England to which the son of John without Land Henry III accedes. But before leaving England in September 1217, Louis negotiated the amnesty of the last English barons who remained loyal to him and a gigantic indemnity as compensation for his military expedition to England. A very clever decision because the indemnity is pledged on the province of Aquitaine still held in France by the king of England. Thus, having become king of France in 1223, Louis VIII took advantage of the fact that the English could not pay the full compensation provided for by the treaty of 1217 to confiscate the province of Aquitaine, so that the English kings had no land in France, King Philip II Augustus having already seized Normandy, Poitou, Anjou and Maine hereditary lands of the English kings since William the conqueror and Henry II Plantagenet and his wife Alienor d'Aquitaine.His son Louis IX future Saint Louis will make a fatal mistake by returning by the treaty of Paris in 1260 Aquitaine to his cousin and brother-in-law the king of England Henry III, the province of Aquitaine because he considered unjust the confiscation by his father Louis VIII in 1225 of the hereditary land of the English king,which will thus allow the English to regain a foothold in France and revive the quarrel of the tribute due by the English king to the king of France whose vassal he is for the lands held in France, which will be one of the pretexts for the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War, the next century.
Jean I le Posthume was a baby. The previous king died during the queen's pregnancy, so Jean was crowned king at birth. Unfortunately he only lived 5 days.
Ces boules en or, que tenaient certains rois sont appelés des "Orbes ou Globes crucigeres". La boule représente le monde, et si vous regardez bien elle est surmontee d'une croix. C'est un symbole qui "montre la puissance du roi sur le monde et sa foi chrétienne. Autrement 👍 cool j'aime bien.
we didn t learn a third of those in history school in France, i do like the change of the country border along the ruler ( and my guess for the Posthume is if you look the "ruling" time it is the same year, and seem like a child so he got named king after his death??
Charles VI (le Fou) actually has kind of a sad story. He became mad like 10-15 years into his reign. The poor guy completely lost it, believed he was made of glass and was continuously afraid to break and die. He's also been used by the English after his imprisonment to try and legitimate their claim on France.
Charles VI le fou (the mad), he gives the kingdom of France to britain. Napoleon 3 is an underrated leaders, he modernise France (the hausmann architecture in Paris is under his rules)
i m french and my mum family branch is a cousin of the king louis VI le gros and my dad's family was anoblish by task during the french revolution so i would say i have a rich family story on both side
My mother is from Lyon - she taught me french before I knew english , but as the years went on - she would speak french to me and I would respond in english lol - so I got VERY VERY rusty
If you want to learn more, you should read the book series called The Cursed Kings, by Maurice Druon. It shows the succession problems that led to the 100 years war and present some of kings you see here.
Il existe 10 monarchies héréditaires en europe -anglererre -belgique -luxembourg -pays bas -espagne -suede -danemark -norvege -lichenstein -monaco Et deux monarchie non hereditaire -andorre -vatican 5 des monarchies héréditaires sont directement originaires de la noblesse française (Danemark -maison de Laborde de Monpezat-, Monaco -maison de Polignac, Suede -maison Bernadotte-, Espagne et Luxembourg -maison de Bourbon-)
Actually in 1870 starts the third republic. the first one was during the revolution just before Napoleon I and the second one was when Napoleon III hadn't made his coup to be emperor yet, which means 1848-1852 And by the way, the merovingians kings (the first dynasty) were nicknamed "long-haired" a posteriori, and laughed at for that reason ^^
Robespierre est inclus dans la Convention (c'est une des quatre figures représentées visuellement). On le représente souvent comme un dictateur, mais il n'avait pas du tout les pouvoirs qu'on lui prête. Il était pas chef d'État, il était juste un politicien influent qui partageait son pouvoir avec d'autres politiciens (par exemple, les autres membres du Comité de salut public). Le voir comme un genre de Staline du 18e siècle, c'est croire les mensonges des Thermidoriens qui ont voulu mettre l'entièreté de la Terreur sur son dos (alors que certains Thermidoriens étaient eux-mêmes coupables des crimes dont ils accusaient Robespierre). Que ce soit clair, je suis pas en train de dire que le mec était un enfant de chœur, mais on exagère souvent sa part de responsabilité dans les évènement de la Terreur.
I really advise you to read Charles De Gaulle's work, his books, his speeches or "C'était De Gaulle" from Alain Peyrefitte. That man was a true visionary, some of his predictions still arrive to these days. And if you found a translation to your language that's even better.
The first president of the French Republic was Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, nephew of Napoleon I. He staged a coup and became Napoleon III.
Napoléon III was the first French président and also the second Emperor of France after his pustch, a really underated ruler the modern Paris with all the Haussmanian buildings (le Paris d’Hausseman) was his thing !

Posthume means he was baby and died very quickly. He was king only 5 days, just after his father died,
Postume means that he was born after the death of his father.
To note that an Italian pretender Giannino Baglioni born in Siena will claim as being the king John 1st posthumously, the title of King of France in the midst of the Hundred Years' War, while the King of France John II was captured by the English and imprisoned in London, and his eldest son the future Dauphin Charles V was challenged by the riot in Paris and forced to flee from the capital, The English kings Edward III and Charles II of Navarre, descendants of the wives of the last Capetian kings, also claim the throne of France. Baglioni manages to be recognized by the Italian cities and the head of the Roman republic Cola di Rienzo as well as by his "cousin" Capetian the king of Hungary who provides him with some troops to reconquer the kingdom of France , arrested in Provence when possession of the king of Naples allied with the king of France, he is captured and imprisoned and will die in prison in Naples unknown natural death or murdered officially in 1361.
According to his story he was exchanged at birth by his nurse to escape the poisoning of the countess Mahaut d'Artois, Mother-in-law of the Count of Poitiers reigned over the kingdom after the death of his brother Louis X the Hutin and during the pregnancy of the queen wife of the deceased king. Indeed, given the Salian law prohibiting women from ruling in France, if the queen gave birth to a daughter, the count of Poitiers brother of the outgoing king became king of France while if the queen gave birth to a boy it was the latter who became king of France from his birth, depriving the count of Poitiers of the throne of France which will be the case with the birth of Jean 1s texcept if the latter died as a child , which will happen. Jean 1st dies 5 days after his birth so that his uncle the count of Poitiers becomes king of France under the name of Philippe V .Infant mortality was common at the time but public rumour will accuse the mother-in-law of the new king Philippe V, the countess Mahaut d'Artois to have poisoned the newborn king in order to allow his son-in-law to become king.
Rumour has it that an investigation was ordered in 1317 which would exonerate Mahaut d'Artois but his son-in-law, King Philip V being in power many consider the investigation to have been distorted.
This story is the plot of the 7th and last novel in the series Les Rois Maudits by the French writer Maurice Druon, which tells the life of the last kings of France of the Capetian dynasty and the beginning of the Hundred Years' War , George R.R Martin will point out that they inspired his literary series Game of Thrones. Les Rois Maudits will be adapted for French television twice in 1972 and 2005 but the 1972 version will have an extraordinary audience success and will be purchased by the BBC .
@@TallisKeeton you're saying shit. "Posthume" means "after the death", you can get a medal after your death so "tu es décoré d'une medaille à titre posthume". If a novelist die before the release of his last novel, it will be said that "le roman est sorti à titre posthume"
Il me semble et après vérification sur wikipédia que Jean I est mort quinze jours après son père, au cinquième jour de sa vie. Son nom n'est donc pas dû à sa courte vie et règne mais à sa naissance après la mort de son prédecesseur.

It's amazing how France (the territory) evolved from king to king, from the "Francs's Kingdom" to the France we know today !
J'adore quand tu parles français, avec l'accent américain c'est very cute!
The golden globe and the scepter held by the King symbolise his God-given powers. The globe is the Earth (yes, no flat earth people in France back then), the physical world, it means that the monarch rules over his land, while the scepter symbolises his power of life and death over his people and the ability to give justice (le bras séculier).
The History of France is very complicated, but very interesting.
La sphère et le sceptre ont été repris par la monarchie anglaise.
It's complicated, sometimes title were given after the king's rule. Charles VI le Fou became crazy before his death, people know him by this title but it wasn't his ruler title at first. Saint Louis is Louis IX, that explains the gap between Louis VIII and Louis X in the timeline. And Jean I the posthume wasn't even born when his father died, and was crowned the very moment he was born. But he died 5 days after his birth ...

Chirac was the last president. Since then, the dynasty of clowns started.
It started earlier than Clovis. The 1st dynasty (mérovingiens) is named after Mérovée (around 450). But we can trace the frank kings in the area up until the 3rd century (around 280).
one could argue the merovingiens were not really the rulers of france, more like an elite having control over multiple non united forces, that's also why clovis is remembered, even if the franks were still not the french people, he at least asserted power and administrative control over the territory of france.

On ajoutais alors un un mot en rapport avec le physique ou la vie de la personne pour la différencier. Par exemple, si il y avait 20 personnes dans le village qui s'appelaient "Guillaume" alors celui qui était boulanger, on le surnommait "guillaume boulanger" ce qui avec le temps donnait par déformation le nom de de famille"Boulanger". Si un "guillaume" dans le village était un peu étrange, alors "guillaume le fou" etc...

Actually in France (it's a simplification because a lot of thin changed etc…) king were not chosen but it was father to son. And the nickname like "Le fou" or "Le gros" came later and could change during or after the life of the king. Charles Le fou was actually absolutely crazy (he sometime thought himself as made of glass) and that was seen as a punition from god or a malediction.
@@noravivert5616 If i remember correctly, Charles le Fou wasnt crazy from the start, he became crazy
@darmius4697 Well if I'm not wrong he was just a bit disturbed at the beginning, enough for worrying today but not enough for preventing him to be a king. And then... Then it became worse and worse...

Hello Uncle D,
Most of the French don't know 1/3 of their kings. We know the most important, (Vercingetorix, not really a king but rather a lord Gaulois who succeeded in unifying the Gauls against Caesar and holding on to him but who was defeated at Alésia), Clovis, Charles Martel, Pépin le Bref, Charlemagne (because he was the first emperor of the Franks), Dagobert 1 (especially because of a nursery rhyme that all French children know by heart - “It’s King Dagobert who has put his pants on backwards”), Hugues Capet (because he is the first French pope), Philippe Auguste (because he is the first monarch to be given the title of King of France, the others were called King of the Franks), Saint-Louis (because he was considered a saint during his lifetime), Philippe Le Bel (because of the Templar affair), Louis XI (more mainly because of his famous hat decorated with coins, but also because he disguised himself to mingle with the little people and listen to what was said about him. He was nicknamed “The Spider,” being redoubtable in politics, very patient in achieving his ends and particularly intelligent in foiling the traps of his enemies, his vengeance, most often, was implacable, such as the bishop of Périgueux, the duke of Alençon or even the grand seneschal of Normandy would have been locked up for years in small wooden cages suspended from the ceiling and in which one couldn't stand up, fed on dry bread and water), François The first
(notably because of the famous battle of Marignan in 1515, but also because he installed Leonardo da Vinci at the court of France, considering him his father, the latter also bequeathed him the Mona Lisa, today exhibited at the Louvre Museum, as well as many other works, plans, books, etc.), Charles IX, his brother Henri III, his mother Catherine de Medicis and his sister “The queen Margot” (essentially because of the very famous Saint-Barthélémy Massacre in Paris where thousands of protestants was killed during one night and one day particularly horrible), Henry IV (for the same reason, and because he's a survivor of this terrible massacre, saved by the queen Margot and because he restored peace between Catholics and Protestants in France), Louis XIII (the Bourbon's dynasty), Louis XIV (everybody in the World knows this king and Versailles), Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette (also known worldwide as Louis XIV, but not for the same reasons, lol), Danton, Robespierre, Marat - and maybe Chabot, the fourth character? - in order of appearance in the pic (because they were the principal actors of the French Revolution and finished all to be assassinated or decapitated), Napoleon I (here again, everybody in the world knows Napoleon), Louis XVIII, Charles X, Louis-Philippe I and Napoleon III (for various reasons, but mainly because they were the last short-lived kings and emperors of France before the French Republic was irrevocably established).
Peace, folks. ☮👈😎
It's sad that we know so little about the history of our kings of France, because their history is fascinating, full of battles, plots and murders to monopolize power (How they killed each other between brothers and nephews in the Middle Ages, it's incredible 😮 !!!).

France exist officially since 843 when the Verdun's treaty formalised the existence of three kingdoms coming from the breaking of Charlemagne's empire between Occidental Francia, Middle Francia ( who ceased fast to exist ) and Eastern Francia who will become Germany. Before that, France was made of several kingdoms hold by the Merovingians.
Merovingians ruled from about 350 to 751 when Childeric III was sent to a monastery with the pope's agreement to let the crown to Pepin, the effective ruler of the kingdom, beginning the Carolingian dynasty.
They ruled from 751 to 987 until the death of Louis V who died at 18 without a son. The throne went to Hugues Capet whom family held more or less the true power in the kingdom in the 8th and 9th century.
The capetians assumed the throne from 987 to 1792 and from 1814 to 1848.
Louis X, father of Jean, died some month before Jean's birth so he became king at his birth. Unfortunately, he died 5 days later and the throne went to Philippe, Louis' brother.
Charles VI was effectively crazy. He became nuts in his 20's by killing some servants when he though they were about to kill him. He recovered somewhat but after he almost died in a real fire things went worst. His uncles were from that day the effective rulers of the kingdom.
During the beginning of the French republic, executive power was held by a comitee for Safety Public. Most of their members were beheaded during and after the Terror era.
Napoleon II died in his 20's in exile and his reign lasted between his fathers's abdication and the coming of Louis XVIII to the throne, about 10 days later. Louis XVII died prisonner at 11 during the Revolution.
Napoleon III was the first elected president of the II republic in 1848. He hold a coup 4 years later because the constitution banned him from being reelected. He became emperor in 1852. He lost his throne in 1870 after he lost the war against Prussia.
Felix Faure is the only president who died at the Elysée. He died from a stroke during a sexual encounter with his mistress. Your Clinton was a joke to compare with ! :)
Paul Deschanel resigned less than a year after his election because he felt he was becoming mentally fragile and insane after he felt from a train during a night travel. After some rest, he became senator.
Paul Doumer was shot during an official visit along side with the yougoslavian king. The murdurer was trialed, sentenced to death and beheaded soon after.
Albert Lebrun was the last president of the III republic and was replaced by Pétain and the French State, a nazi's puppet state. After the war, he tried to finish his mandate but the IV republic was proclamed instead.
Phillip Auguste is the first king we have a somewhat good portrait of his face. Before him, we have no idea of what they could look like. Most of the paints we can see here were made in the XIXe century.
And you're right. We only know few kings among them for a reason or another.
Good explanations but with some mistakes The president of the republic Paul Doumer was not assassinated with the king of Yugoslavia. He was assassinated in 1932 by a white Russian protesting against the recognition of the communist USSR by France. It was the foreign minister Louis Barthou who was assassinated in Marseille in 1934 with King Alexander 1st of Yugoslavia, the first attack by the way film of history. President Sadi Carnot was also assassinated in 1894 by an Italian anarchist;It is also General de Gaulle who holds the record for assassination attempts for a French head of state with 32 assassination attempts that all failed, before King Henry IV (1589-1610) who suffered 25 assassination attempts, the last of which was fatal with Ravaillac’s stab wounds in 1610. It is the king of France Louis XIV who had the longest reign in history attested with more than 72 years of reign from 1643 to 1715, while it is the King of France Louis XIX who had the shortest reign in history barely 5 minutes, the time to sign after his father King Charles X, on August 2, 1830 his act of abdication in favor of his nephew Henry V who will be dethroned after 7 days of reign by his cousin the Duke of Orleans became the 9 August 1830 King Louis-Philippe 1st. Louis XIX and Henri V do not appear on the list when they have in law to reign because the principle of heredity then constitutional made them as heirs of right of the crown kings of France in the event of a vacancy . We can also notice that France had 2 kings called Charles III, Charles III the fat and Charles III the simple . The 1st reign from 884 to 888 and the second from 898 to 929 even if he was dethroned in 923.French historians embarrassed have long presented Charles the fat as a regent during the minority of his nephew Charles III the simple while being crowned king of the francs in Reims he must appear in the list of kings of France. . This peculiarity is due to King Charles V (1364-1380) who was the first to decide to give the numbering of the kings of France but the problem arose with Charles III the fat who when he was elected king of the Franks by the French aristocrats who in 884 his nephew the young Charles the simple because that-He was a minor, and was already the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. During his reign in the Hundred Years' War, when he fought against the English and the Navarese, King Charles V saw his legitimacy as king of France challenged by foreign kings from their mother’s royal line, King of Navarre Charles II and King of England Edward III, so that to recall the historical precedent of a foreign king having been appointed by the aristocrats to govern the country in place of a French king judged too young was not favorable for his cause. Thus Charles III the Fat disappeared from the list of kings of France and became a simple "regent" during the minority of the young Charles III the Simple. Then when the 3rd Republic was proclaimed in 1870 following the Franco-German war where the new unified German empire had taken from France the provinces of "Alsace-Moselle. It was difficult for the nationalist French republican government partisan of military revenge against the"Germany to explain that a German emperor had also ruled over France, so that Charles III the great emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and king of the Franks was erased from the history books. Another king will also be erased from the tablets of history it will be the cardinal of Bourbon proclaimed king in 1589 by the French Catholics under the name of Charles X after the assassination of King Henry III ;Indeed, the majority of Catholic France does not recognize the king of Navarre Henri de Bourbon as legitimate king of France because he is not only a foreigner (because at that time Navarra was an independent state ) but above all protestant, therefore heretic, whereas the oath of the King’s coronation requires him to fight against heresy in his kingdom and to cast out the heretics, so that Henry of Navarre, a Protestant and therefore heretic, cannot be sanctified. It is the civil war between Catholics and Protestants but the luck of Henry of Navarre is that his cousin the already aged cardinal of Bourbon dies quickly on May 15, 1590 and that the other candidates rivals to the throne have joined his party, namely the Prince of Condé who is also a Protestant and the Prince of Conti who is Catholic but allied with Henry of Navarre. Finally, in 1593, Henry of Navarre decided to renounce his Protestant religion and become a Catholic so that he could be crowned king of France and take the oath of coronation. It’s the formula "Paris is worth a mass"But the edict of tolerance of Nantes in 1598 of king Henri IV granting to his former Protestant coreligionists freedom of worship is considered by the Catholic population as a violation of the oath of his coronation which was to lead him to fight and drive out the Protestant heretics. In this capacity, considered as king perjure to his oath, he will suffer numerous assassination attempts of which the last in 1610 will be fatal .
But upon his accession to the throne in 1593, Henry IV had the dated acts of the reign of Charles X cardinal of Bourbon erased and the coins minted with the effigy of the latter withdrawn , and will date all the acts of August 2, 1589 the date of the death of King Henry III of which he considers himself as the only heir and not from the date of his official coronation in 1594. Thus, long before Stalin had his rivals erased from the official photos and acts of the USSR, Henry IV had Cardinal Charles X erased from official acts and history.There are indeed other heads of state missing as directors like Barras,Sieyes who from 1795 to 1799 exercised power in France on a rotating basis every year when the provisional heads of government under the 2nd Republic between the proclamation of theFebruary and December 1848 date of the election of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte as president or between September 1870 and August 1871 after the proclamation of the 3rd Republic until the election by the parliamentarians of Adolphe Thiers as president of the The French Republic or the provisional heads of government between 1944 and 1946 or Alain Poher, president of the Senate who constitutionally exercised the functions of the republic on an interim basis in 1969 between the resignation of General de Gaulle and the election of his successor Pompidou, then in 1974 between the death of President Pompidou and the election of his successor Giscard d'Estaing. These provisional rulers were, however, at the origin of important reforms such as in 1944 the introduction of generalized social security in France or the definitive abolition of slavery in the French colonies in 1848 after a first abolition by the committee of public salvation led by Robespierre in 1794.
Jesus, thx for the details. I'commenting for saving your comment
@@alexandrec.2939 Thank you. It is true that the history of France is very old, very complex, very rich and also very long as the list of its heads of state. There were also the Gallic emperors (Postumus, Victorinus, Tetricus) the time of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD which autonomized the Gaul name of present-day France to ensure the defense of the country against the Germanic invasions that the Roman Empire in full disintegration could no longer assume.
Other monarchs are missing as the Carolingian Guy de Spoleto crowned in February 888 but defeated by the Count of Paris Eudes in June 888 who temporarily took the crown to the Carolingian dynasty and will be the ancestor of the Capetian dynasty which with Hugues Capet elected king of the francs in 987 will definitively eliminate the Carolingian dynasty , so that the Capetian dynasty is the one which will rule over France for the longest time from 987 to 1328 without interruption and more if we adds the earlier reigns of Eudes I (888-898), his brother Robert I (922-923) and the son-in-law of the latter Raoul I (923-936), thus forging the French identity because the Capetians before becoming king were titled duke of France (which corresponds to the current region of Ile de France around Paris) .Little-known fact the royality was almost restored in France in 1873 because the majority of the deputies elected in 1871 after the fall of the second empire of Napoleon III were royalists and considered the republic proclaimed in 1870 as a temporary regime but they were divided on the choice of the king. The Catholic legitimists wanted the restoration of the former king Henry V who had briefly been king from 2 to 9 August 1830 after the abdication of his grandfather Charles X and his uncle Louis XIX. The more liberal Orleanists were supporters of the Duke of Orléans, grandson of King Louis Philippe who had ruled from 1830 to 1848 before being overthrown by the 2nd Republic but whom the followers of Henry V considered as the usurper of the throne of the latter in 1830 ,whose father Philippe Egalité then deputy had voted the death of King Louis XVI guillotined .An agreement was finally found , the Orleanists agreeing provisionally to leave the throne for the restoration of Henri V but the latter was childless, his successor would be his cousin the Duke of Orleans ;But while the king’s carriage for his return to Paris was ready, Henry V suddenly demanded that the tricolour flag from the French revolution be replaced by the lilies-decorated flag of the Bourbon dynasty. The army refused to abandon the tricolour flag, thus failing the restoration. The displeased royalist deputies decided to wait for the death of Henry V already aged in order to call to the throne the duke of Orleans who accepted the tricolor flag as his grandfather Louis Philippe who had fought in the revolutionary armies at Valmy and Jemmappes. The assembly elects a monarchist president, Marshal Mac Mahon , which, when Henry V died, was to give way to the Duke of Orléans for the restoration of the kingship.The deputies decided to give the president of the republic a mandate long enough to allow him to wait until Henry V’s death, ten years and then finally reduced to seven years.This is why all the presidents of the French republic were elected until 2002 for a term of 7 years renewable since then reduced to 5 years.and that we talk in France of a republican monarchy with a president who is the head of state who has more power than the Western world (for example, he can decide alone to declare war, whereas in the USA it is the congress that declares war).Lack of luck for the royalists, Henry V died in 1883 and meanwhile they lost the majority in parliament to the Republicans in 1877 who forced in 1879 the marshal Mac Mahon to resign and elected in his place a truly republican president Jules Grévy.Ending the hopes of restoration of the royalists. A caprice of Henry V who cost him the throne of France and thus allowed the installation in the duration of the republic in France until today.
Notez que jusqu'au 12ème siècle et Philippe-Auguste, les rois présentés étaient "rois des Francs" et pas "rois de France". C'est à dire qu'ils étaient les dirigeants du peuple germanique qui avaient envahi la gaule romaine, mais les Gaulois romanisés qui vivaient là (et dont descend une majorité de Français) n'étaient pas vraiment concernés puisqu'il étaient soumis à l'occupant. A ce titre, on peut considérer que tous les Empereurs romains jusqu'à la chute de l'empire romain d'occident étaient aussi les dirigeants du territoire de l'actuelle France.
Ce n'est qu'avec Philippe-Auguste que le roi est devenu le roi d'un pays, la France, et de tous ses résidents, les Français, et pas seulement roi d'une certaine population au sein d'un territoire. Donc d'un point de vue objectif, l'Histoire de France au sens de la France comme entité politique ne commence qu'à partir de Philippe-Auguste en 1180.
Boujours de la france et merci pour cette video
Fun fact : Clovis father was still a local governor under the last years of the Roman empire. When it finally fell apart, those provincial rulers became kings by default, therefore beginning new dynasties. Clovis is the first of the Merovingians. So the first franc elite lived quite like the roman elite of that time, because in a way, that's exactly what they were.
Second fun fact : You can see that Charles Martel was only "maire du palais", which was a title under the king of the Francs. But at that time, the Merovingians powers had become very low, ans when Charles Martel got rid of the Sarrasins in Poitiers, he became famous enough to usurp power, depose the last Merovingian king and start his own dynasty : the Carolingians.
I could go on ^_^
Not entirely correct. True, the King of the Franks also held a position in the Roman Empire als local governor ever since the Franks were allowed by Emperor Julian II in 358 to settle in the lands called "Toxandria", the north of Belgium and the Netherlands south of the Rhine, as "foederati imperii", allies of the empire. But the Franks and their Kings had and kept their own language, laws, and religion which they had not in common with either Romans or Gallo-Romans, whom they called "Wala" or "Walloons". This province only still was Roman als an institutional formality, not in any real effec, though the Franks protected their land and hence the empire against other tribes that may have otherwise crossed the Rhine and thus lived up to the terms of their alliance with Rome. Clovis and his direct guard of vassal-warriors converted to christianism somewhere around 499 but they and their Frankish tribesmen kept their laws and language for centuries to come as an ethnic minority in the lands that were to become France. It is true that their conversion facilitated intermarriage between the Frankish warrior nobility and the Gallo-Roman senatorial class of Gaul. The Franks brought feudality between kings and their vassals as a ruling system to Europe whereas they grafted their domination over the land onto the estates of the gallo-roman elites, which they partly took over. evolved into the domanial system. In the end, the Franks only kept their language in the North of Belgium and the Netherlands, up till this day.
Louis is the "modern" version of Clovis. Clodoveghus (in Germanic) became Clovis, Ludovicus, then Lovis and Louis.
Celui qui connait un peu l'histoire de France ne peut qu'être stupéfait de voir comment la dynastie des capétiens a donné des rois gigantesques ... Je dirais colossaux en pesant mes mots. Beaucoup d'historiens considèrent que c'est grâce à la loi salique qui a permis à une dynastie de se maintenir et d'assurer une continuité en interdisant l'hérédité de la mère ... L'histoire de ses rois montrent que quelque chose d'incroyable s'est produit compte tenu de leur compétences et de l'œuvre immense qu'ils ont légué... Une seule dynastie ...

Hello I'm French but I don't speak English very well. I speak French now with simple words : Sarkozy, Hollande et Macron sont détesté en France. Nous avons eu de bons présidents et de bons rois. Je suis fière d'être français et je suis fière de voir des américains s'intéresser à la France (thanks American people to interesting France ❤️❤️🙏) . Merci et Vive la France 🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
Des bons rois ? Pour qui ? Y'a pas vraiment de roi de France qui se soit intéressé au sort du peuple français, leurs seules préoccupations étaient leur pouvoir et leurs prestige. C'est d'ailleurs pour cela qu'il a fallu s'en débarrasser d'une manière assez radicale...
@mfcq4987 il faut connaître l'histoire de France, l'Église (donc l'institution) a tenté de devenir supra national, ce qui signifie que le roi aurait vécu tout aussi bien mais avec une police en plus pour le maintenir au pouvoir. Et pourtant les rois ont toujours rejeté les demandes de l'Église, pourquoi ? Car ça aurait détruit la France (comme aujourd'hui avec l'UE) et ça aurait touché directement le peuple français. Donc oui on a eu de bons rois, de bons dirigeants mais nous avons eu aussi des mauvais.
@@darkssitharies6107 Mais qu'est ce que vous racontez ? L'église catholique a toujours été supra-nationale puisque son siège est à Rome et l'a toujours été (sauf pendant la période où les rois de France ont imposé que les papes siègent en Avignon). Et les rois de France ont toujours instrumentalisé l'Eglise à leur profit puisque leur pouvoir était prétendument "de droit divin", attesté par l'Eglise.
Il a fallu attendre 1905 et la loi de séparation de l’Église et de l’État instaurant la laïcité pour que l'église lâche sa main mise sur les affaires publiques...

At primary school, we needed to learn about the main kings of France. Your mother surely did. And about Macron, between us, she's right. Faites lui une bise de la part d'un compatriote 😊

At Charlemagne's time and before, all chidrens of the king got their share ( which is why Charlemagne's kingdom was divided between his 3 sons). In fact, having Louis 3 & Carleman 2 working together was a good thing at this time (keeping the kingdom together)
Three GRANDsons. The three sons of Louis le Pieux.
For more informations, I tried to sum up some. ^^
The "ball" some of them are holding is called (in French) "Orbe Crucigère" wikipedia say :
"The cruciform orb or cruciferous globe (globus cruciger in Latin, "cross-bearing globe") is a sphere surmounted by a cross used as a symbol of authority since the Middle Ages, in Western Christian iconography."
It doesn't show in the video, but during the monarchy, five dynastie ruled France :
Les Mérovingiens (From Clovis Ist to Childéric III)
Les Carolingiens (From Pépin le Bref to Louis V le Fainéant)
Les Capétiens (From Hugues Capet to Charles IV le Simple)
Les Valois (From Philippe VI le Fortuné to Henri III)
Les Bourbon (From Henri IV to Louis XVI then from Louis XVIII to Charles X)
Les Orléans (With a only king, Louis-Philippe Ist)
Jean I Posthume was the only king to rule from birth to death. As it's name indicate (posthumous), he was born after the death of his father, and immediately after his birth, he became the king, but he died at five day old.
Louis X, Philippe V and Charles IV were all brothers and sons of Philippe IV le Bel.
Charles VI suffers from several mental diseases, and it was truly a problem for French, for exemples, he signed a treaty with the king of England, and he agreed to give him the title of "Roi de France".. So yes, it's unfortunate
François II, Charles IX and Henri III were, again, three brothers, sons of Henri II and Catherine de Médicis.
During the time between Louis XIV and Louis XVI, they weren't the son of the king :
Louis XV is the great grandson of Louis XIV. And Louis XVI was the grandson of Louis XV. It's funny to notify that the father, the grandfather, the great-grandfather and all the men between Louis XVI and Louis XIV were all called Louis ^^
Louis XVIII and Charles X were the two youngest brothers of Louis XVI
Napoleon the third was the nephew of Napoleon the first (technically, the son of Napoleon reign for 16th days (22th june to 8th july 1815), so he was Napoleon II)
For the republic :
During the Convention, the four people that are represented on this timeline are (from left to right and from up to down) :
Georges Danton - Maximilien Robespierre - Jean-Paul Marat - And Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
Actually in 1871, some French wanted a new comeback from the king, but the proposed king wanted to change the flag (the tricolore, Blue, White and red) to the ancient flag from the kingdom of France (White with fleur de lys), but no one wanted that flag so Henri "V" refused to comeback.
It doesn't show there but there was 5 different republic :
The first is the one between Louis XVI and Napoléon the first
The second one is the one after Louis-Philippe and before Napoleon III (Well, Napoleon the third was the president ^^)
The third one is between Napoleon III and Philippe Pétain (who was the dictator during the WWII and the invasion of France)
The fourth one is the one with Vincent Auriol and René Coty
And finally the fifth is the one started by Charles De Gaulles that still exist nowadays.
I know almost of the french king and emperor, and all the president of the Fifth and fourth republic. I'm still learning the third republic
To the people brave enough to read this, I hope it was clear and that you learn something ^^

Saint-Louis est à l'origine d'un des traits d'humour les plus célèbres de la politique française récente. Saint-Louis (Louis IX en réalité) est un roi qui a profondément réformé la Justice, instaurant notamment la "présomption d'innocence" (d'où sa canonisation). Il était volontiers représenté à l'image du roi Salomon en rendant la justice sous un chêne du parc du Château de Vincennes. Ce qui a fait dire au député André Santini, à propos du ministre de la Justice Pierre Arpaillange en poste en 1989 : "Si Saint-Louis rendait la justice sous un chêne, Arpaillange la rend comme un gland" (en anglais "If Saint Louis dispensed justice under an oak tree, Arpaillange dispenses it like an acorn"), sachant que le mot "gland" est utilisé de manière péjorative en français pour désigner un imbécile et un incapable...
Je la connaissait pas. Elle mérite d'être réutilisée.
To be precise the first president of France was elected in 1848, its was Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. In 1951 he decided to do like his uncle ( Napoleon Bonaparte -> Napoléon 1er ) and became emperor under the name of Napoléon III.
Napoléon II existed, he was the son of Napoléon 1er and Marie Louise of Austria. He died at 21 yo.
Honorable mention to Napoléon IV, the son of Napoléon III. After the deafeat of 1870 against Prussia, Napoléon III went in England and died few years later. His son wanted to be a soldier. The queen Victoria accepted and he was sent in Africa. His squad was attacked by Zulu warriors. The lengends says that all the soldiers run away but he was the only one who fought. He died, killed by dozens of spear hits.
3:25 i'm french and yes we called our king "le gros" in english it's "the fat" because at the time being fat was a sign of health and long life. And at 6:27 "le fou" so "the crazy" was because he had a strange disease and sometime he did really weird things. Today we know the thing that he had but at this time it was crazy and completly new.
7:42 Yeah that's la Révolution right there. At first, they installed a constitutional monarchy (i.e. the king, Louis XVI, was still king, but he was bound by a Constitution and had to share power with an elected Assemblée), but shenanigans happened and they deposed the king, turning France into a republic (which ended when Napoléon Bonaparte crowned himself emperor). The First Republic did not have a single head of state before Napoléon's coup, so whoever made the video had to be creative for the illustration. For la Convention, they decided to put portraits of four influential politicians at the time: (from left to right, top to bottom) Georges Danton, Maximilien Robespierre, Jean-Paul Marat, and Camille Desmoulins. They were not the heads of state, they're just a way to represent the political situation during that time period. They were also not the only influential politicians of the time.
"One looks Georges Washington?" ahahaha, yeah Robespierre, Good guy, he lost his head, like the other in fact
5:50 Called the Posthumous because he was born after his father's death. Became king at the very moment of his birth and died a few days later.

Hello
French colonies in America are missing.
French colonization of the Americas began in the 16th century and continued until the 18th century. France built a colonial empire in North America, called New France, stretching from the Gulf of Saint Lawrence to the Rocky Mountains in the west and to the Gulf of Mexico in the south. The French also colonized the Antilles: Santo Domingo, Saint Lucia, Dominica, as well as Guadeloupe and Martinique, still French. In South America, they attempted to establish three colonies, one of which remains, today, Guyana.
During this period of colonization, the French founded, starting in 1608 in Quebec, New France in its "provinces" of Acadia, Canada, the Pays d'en Haut (Great Lakes) and Louisiana, Montreal and Baton Rouge, Detroit, Mobile, New Orleans or St. Louis currently located in the United States; but also elsewhere in North America, including Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haïtien in Haiti; Saint-Louis de Maragnan in Brazil
Louis V le Fainéant (the lazy). 🤣
Frankly i would be so afraid to ruin evrything i would enjoy my life as a king too i think. 😂
Bonne vidéo et bon accent ! Les "Boules" sont signe de pouvoir en Occident depuis l'Empire Romain surtout vis à vis de la Chrétienté.
Pour info, la boule appelée orbe que les différents rois tiennent dans leur main est connu sous le nom de "globe crucigère" ! C'est une sphère surmontée d'un croix symbolisant le pouvoir royal et chrétien ! Cette sphère représente le monde chrétien dominé par la croix, un symbole important dans l'iconographie royale !
... and the map is incorrect. Brittany was independant and was rattached to France when Anne de Bretagne, last duchess of Brittany, married two kings of France, one after the other, Charles VIII and Louis XII. Normandie was also independant from the 911 to 1315.
Yeah 481.
France was already as old as the US are today a millennia ago.
Pépin le Bref literally means Pip the Short.
And no, it is not a coincidence, Pippin was named after him.
Le fait qu'il remarque René Coty m'a tellement fait penser à la blague de OSS 117 quand il dit vous verrez il marquera l'histoire 😂
'Le Bref' same root as brief, mean short, not high size.
I discoverd most of them now ! The firsts were the continuation of Western Roman empire, mostly Charlemagne in 800, after the invasion by the germans Franks in about 480 (so 'France'= country of the Franks) ! Thank you😊
3:25 c'est simple tu vas voir, en faite les nom de famille n'existé pas forcément à cette époque. Donc pour reconnaître les personnes avec qui on pouvait parler, parfois on les appelé par leur métier comme laura failepain (fait le pain) ou un très physique comme Charles le gros.
Et pour le chiffre après leur prénom, c'est parce que ce sont par exemple le 3ème roi à porter se nom.
Really possible you ignore Charles de Gaulle ? 😮😢
I'm feeling the same 🥹
And Charlemagne 😢
The "boule" en or - usually with a cross atop means that the king is regent between heavens and earth. (cross is heavens and boule is earth)
also note that the staff the king is holding is always pointing towards the heavens.
there was a Louis 5 Le faineant which means Louis 5 the Lazyass
About Charles 7 le fou, yeah that's the problem with monarchy. When the king becomes crazy you can't replace it XD
He was called that because he had episodes of craziness, like hunting with his servants and drawing his sword to attack the servants....
He was also one of the kings during the 100 years war, and he's the one who lost Paris to the English.....
« Do you know Louis ? » « Yes, Why ? » « you know 18 person called « Louis » »😂

9:30 the empire of FRANCE! but if all the part is missing in AMERICA "lousiana" etc etc... that Napoleon sold to the Americans!
In fact, Louis the XV sold Lousiana to Spain, Napoleon took it back when he won war against Spain later, and sold it to USA right away to finance its european wars
@@Coincouain75Exactl.; Knowing that the Lousiane named in honor of King Louis XIV, corresponds not only to the current American state of Louisiana but to a territory that went from the border of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico encompassing 13 of the present American states, some of which have retained cities with their French names such as Detroit, Saint Louis or Nouvelle Orleans.

Indeed, one must be wary of nicknames given to the king that do not always have the same meaning as in our time or were given many centuries after their reign.
Thus John II le Bon, does not mean a good, generous or kind character but his bravery . Thus he was captured by the English at the battle of Maupertuis in 1356 because his code of honour forbids him to flee and he will fight with the help of his 14-year-old son at his side, Philippe future duke of Burgundy who guides his shots "Father, keep left, keep right" because King John is blinded by the blood that flows on his helmet visor and his eyes after receiving two head wounds
As Charles VI was not nicknamed during his reign the Fol, the crazy but the Beloved because the French people were sympathetic to his illness and misfortune. It was only several centuries later that he was designated as Charles VI le fol.
Louis VIII called the Lion because of his qualities as a warrior and he also almost became king of England when the English barons rebelled against King John without Earth who had appreciated his qualities as a warrior during his victory over the English army at la Roche on Moines in 1214, called to his aid in 1216 and Louis, then a simple heir of the French king Philippe II Auguste, landed in England with his army, roused the last supporters of Jean sans Terre and was proclaimed King of "England in London on 2 June 1216.But on 14 October 1216, the king of England John without Earth in flight , dies brutally leaving a child of 10 years Henry . The English barons who prefer a 10-year-old child that they can dominate rather than an adult king like Louis, will then gradually rally to the son of Jean sans Terre . Thus Louis abandoned by most of his former allies, in numerical inferiority and isolated in England become hostile is defeated at Lincoln and locks himself in the fortress waiting for reinforcements from France sent by his White Blanche of Castile. But the fleet that brings the relief army of France is decimated by the storm and the rest of the fleet is destroyed by the English fleet. Thus, Louis must then renounce the throne of "England to which the son of John without Land Henry III accedes.
But before leaving England in September 1217, Louis negotiated the amnesty of the last English barons who remained loyal to him and a gigantic indemnity as compensation for his military expedition to England. A very clever decision because the indemnity is pledged on the province of Aquitaine still held in France by the king of England. Thus, having become king of France in 1223, Louis VIII took advantage of the fact that the English could not pay the full compensation provided for by the treaty of 1217 to confiscate the province of Aquitaine, so that the English kings had no land in France, King Philip II Augustus having already seized Normandy, Poitou, Anjou and Maine hereditary lands of the English kings since William the conqueror and Henry II Plantagenet and his wife Alienor d'Aquitaine.His son Louis IX future Saint Louis will make a fatal mistake by returning by the treaty of Paris in 1260 Aquitaine to his cousin and brother-in-law the king of England Henry III, the province of Aquitaine because he considered unjust the confiscation by his father Louis VIII in 1225 of the hereditary land of the English king,which will thus allow the English to regain a foothold in France and revive the quarrel of the tribute due by the English king to the king of France whose vassal he is for the lands held in France, which will be one of the pretexts for the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War, the next century.
Jean I le Posthume was a baby. The previous king died during the queen's pregnancy, so Jean was crowned king at birth. Unfortunately he only lived 5 days.
Ces boules en or, que tenaient certains rois sont appelés des "Orbes ou Globes crucigeres". La boule représente le monde, et si vous regardez bien elle est surmontee d'une croix. C'est un symbole qui "montre la puissance du roi sur le monde et sa foi chrétienne. Autrement 👍 cool j'aime bien.
*strong american accent* DE LA FRONCE !!! 0/
j'aime beaucoup :D
we didn t learn a third of those in history school in France, i do like the change of the country border along the ruler ( and my guess for the Posthume is if you look the "ruling" time it is the same year, and seem like a child so he got named king after his death??
2:40 It actually means Pepin the Short.
they are holding the holly hand grenade
Napoléon III (Nephew of Napoléon I) was the first president of France and third Emperor of France (Charlemagne, Napoléon I, Napoléon III)
Charles VI (le Fou) actually has kind of a sad story. He became mad like 10-15 years into his reign. The poor guy completely lost it, believed he was made of glass and was continuously afraid to break and die. He's also been used by the English after his imprisonment to try and legitimate their claim on France.
Charles VI le fou (the mad), he gives the kingdom of France to britain. Napoleon 3 is an underrated leaders, he modernise France (the hausmann architecture in Paris is under his rules)
i m french and my mum family branch is a cousin of the king louis VI le gros and my dad's family was anoblish by task during the french revolution so i would say i have a rich family story on both side
How comes you speak French this good?
My mother is from Lyon - she taught me french before I knew english , but as the years went on - she would speak french to me and I would respond in english lol - so I got VERY VERY rusty
If you want to learn more, you should read the book series called The Cursed Kings, by Maurice Druon. It shows the succession problems that led to the 100 years war and present some of kings you see here.
The last of president's list is a mistake. It's the picture of the King of Absurdy in Mittel Europa.
3:40 c'est l'orbe terrestre (symbole repris des empereurs romains) pour signifier que l'on règne sur le monde.
The name Clovis became little by little miswritten in Louis. So many Kings in France were called Louis after that.

Jean I le posthume was a baby, and king during 5 days.
Actually in 1870 starts the third republic. the first one was during the revolution just before Napoleon I and the second one was when Napoleon III hadn't made his coup to be emperor yet, which means 1848-1852
And by the way, the merovingians kings (the first dynasty) were nicknamed "long-haired" a posteriori, and laughed at for that reason ^^
Robespierre, Léon Blum?
Robespierre est inclus dans la Convention (c'est une des quatre figures représentées visuellement).
On le représente souvent comme un dictateur, mais il n'avait pas du tout les pouvoirs qu'on lui prête. Il était pas chef d'État, il était juste un politicien influent qui partageait son pouvoir avec d'autres politiciens (par exemple, les autres membres du Comité de salut public). Le voir comme un genre de Staline du 18e siècle, c'est croire les mensonges des Thermidoriens qui ont voulu mettre l'entièreté de la Terreur sur son dos (alors que certains Thermidoriens étaient eux-mêmes coupables des crimes dont ils accusaient Robespierre).
Que ce soit clair, je suis pas en train de dire que le mec était un enfant de chœur, mais on exagère souvent sa part de responsabilité dans les évènement de la Terreur.
Son héritage politique est assez important pour qu'il mérite d'avoir sa propre case.
In fact Napoleon the third was the first elected président of the french republic in 1848.
I really advise you to read Charles De Gaulle's work, his books, his speeches or "C'était De Gaulle" from Alain Peyrefitte. That man was a true visionary, some of his predictions still arrive to these days. And if you found a translation to your language that's even better.
