The Capetians Kings of France 987-1328

Following the demise of the Carolingian dynasty, in 987 the French lords chose Hugh Capet as their king. He was the founder of a dynasty that lasted until 1328. Although for much of this time, the French kings were weak, both internally and externally, and the kingdom of France was much smaller than it later became, the Capetians nevertheless had considerable achievements and also produced outstanding rulers, including Philip Augustus and St Louis.

Jim Bradbury is the author of several books, including The Medieval Archer (Palgrave Macmillan, 1985), The Medieval Siege (Boydell, 1998), The Battle of Hastings (Alan Sutton, 1998), Philip Augustus, (Addison Wesley, 1997) and Stephen and Matilda (Sutton, 1998).
