He should call himself Merovingian, since France is decadent and in utter decline.

France would have become a monarchy again after its defeat in the Franco-Prussian War had the then pretender been willing to accept the tricolor, but no, he held out for the fluer d' lis, and the Third Republic was born.....
gives you an idea of the leadership abilities of the French royal families.....

Actually, John Steinbeck wrote a book about this very thing. "The Short Reign of Pippin IV" It's hilarious and timely, and his disdain of French government is delicious!

Ah, these battles among the cousins. Better off they'd just go to Sotheby's and buy something. Anyway Princess de Beauvau Craon, Deputy Chairman there, has relatives with a better claim than either! (That family is ancestral to the first Bourbon king. They had all the money too!)

Is this some sort of sick joke? How pathetic. Offers a bit of a peek into why France is in so much trouble. Living waaaaaayyy in the past.

The Bourbons are descended from the Capetians...Louis XVI toward the end was Citizen Capet, and Marie Antoinette after his death was the Widow Capet. Louis XVI was also a descendant of Charles I of England, beheaded in 1649.
Charles X is buried in the Kostanjevica Monastery in Nova Gorica, Slovenia, of all places.
