The Royal Family of France

The Royal Family of France was the monarchy that ruled France until the late 18th century, with kings and queens holding political and symbolic power. They belonged to various dynasties, such as the Capetians, Bourbons, and Valois. Key figures include Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, and Louis XVI, who was executed during the French Revolution. The monarchy was abolished in 1792, replaced by republics, but the royal family remained significant in historical and cultural contexts. Today, some descendants identify as royal family members, but they hold no official political role in France.
