Capetian Monarchy in 1328 |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The Capetian monarchy, the ruling dynasty in France from 987 to 1328, gained a significant portion of its land through marriages. In order to maintain their holdings, the Capetian kings instituted the practices of heredity and primogeniture. With these rules in place, crown lands remained undivided through successive generations. This map shows the boundaries of the Capetian Monarchy in 1328, upon the death of the final Capetian king, Charles IV. | ||||||
