Notes: Philippe VI is Roi de France. He is of the Capetian line, through Charles, the second son of Philip III (r. 1270-1285), who was created Count of Valois by his royal father. Charles' son, Philip inherited the county in 1325, and then became Roi de France upon the death of his cousin Charles IV (r. 1322-1328), who was the youngest grandson of Philip III by his son Philip IV (r. 1285-1314), having succeeded his older brother Louis X (r. 1314-1316) and Philip V (r.1316-1322), both of whom died without issue. King Philip's first cousin, Isabel, the eldest of Philip IV's children, is the mother of King Edward III of England . King Philip is a strong sovereign, albeit perhaps not strong enough for France.

The fact that King Philip VI reached the throne through tragedy, the deaths of four successive Rois de France within little more than a dozen years has oft been remarked upon. It is said that there was curse upon the line in its last years. Toward the end of his reign Philip IV, in collusion with Pope Clement V , desirous of the wealth of the Knights Templar, brought against them false charges of heresy and blasphemy. As he was being put to the torch, the last Grand Master of the Templars called upon the Lord to curse both pope and king, and all the latter's heirs as well unto the thirteenth generation. And in truth, the Pope died within months of the burning, the king, although a vigorous and healthy man of but 47, died soon afterwards, as did each of his three sons, after each ascended the throne in succession to the other, leaving the house heirless. By the grace of God it is to be hoped that His Grace King Philip VI is free of the curse.
