Page "Capetian dynasty" Paragraph 384

Many years have passed since the Capetian monarchs ruled a large part of Europe ; however, they still remain as kings, as well as other titles.

Currently two Capetian monarchs still rule in Spain and Luxembourg.

In addition, seven pretenders represent exiled dynastic monarchies in Brazil, France, Spain, Portugal, Parma and Two Sicilies.

The current legitimate, senior family member is Louis-Alphonse de Bourbon, known by his supporters as Duke of Anjou, who also holds the Legitimist ( Blancs d ' Espagne ) claim to the French throne.

Overall, dozens of branches of the Capetian dynasty still exist throughout Europe.
