Capet (Royal house : 987-1328)

French royal house founded by Hugh Capet (c. 939-996), who was elected King of France after the death of the Carolingian King Loius V of West Francia. The direct line of the House of Capet came to an end in 1328, when the three sons of Philip IV (reigned 1285–1314) all failed to produce surviving male heirs to the French throne. With the death of King Charles IV in 1328, the throne passed to the House of Valois.
