medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture That someone or some people decided that by the succession of Philip Capet, comte de Valois, a whole new house ruled in France is a historic given. Genealogically and technically the house of Capet ruled via the branches Valois, Bourbon and, if you will Orléans, until Louis Philippe disappeared in 1848. Even now there are still aristocratic descendants of Hugh Capet alive, even if their blood is by now pretty dilluted. As there are of Charlemagne.
