France was once an area outside Gallii-south of the Pyrenees (Spanish brand of Charlemagne). In recent Karolingah France at the beginning of segmented seigniories, and when vosshestvii throne Kapetingov dynasty (987 in the city; See Table. II stake VI) in the kingdom, there were nine major holdings : 1) County Flanders, 2), Duke of Normandy, 3) The Duke of France, 4), Duke of Burgundy, 5), Duke of Aquitaine (Gien), 6) Duke Gaskon, 7) County Tuluzskoe, 8) markizat Gotiya and 9) County Barcelona (Spain grade). As time went even further fragmentation; Of these holdings into two new, of which the most significant were the county Brittany, Blois, Anzhu, Troyes, Never, Peter (cf. resp. Art.) . The immediate possession of the first kings of the dynasty Kapetingov was narrow area tyanuvshayasya north and south of Paris, and very slowly rasshiryavshayasya in different directions; During the first two centuries (987-1180), it grew only half (cf. table. II cards VI and VII). At the same time, under the authority of the British kings, a large portion of that time in France. In 1066 the Duke of Normandy, William won England, resulting in Normandy and England joined with one another. A century later (1154) kings of England and Normandy gertsogami making up boxes Anzhuyskie (Plantagenety), and the first king of this dynasty, Henry II, by marrying the heir Aquitaine, Eleonore, acquired the entire southwest F. (see Table. II stake VII). Home "collection" put F. Philip II in August (1180-1223), who, incidentally, has Vermandua part Artua, Normandy, Brittany, Anzhu, Maine, Turen, Auvergne, etc. smaller land. Grandson Philip II, St. Louis (1226-1270), made a major acquisition in the south of France; Tuluzskie boxes were recognized on a power F. King and give him a large part of their holdings until the end of 1272 vladetelnogo Toulouse at home has not caused when Philippe III, adherence to the royal lands and the rest of those holdings.
Beautiful Philip IV (1285-1314) bought in 1312 and his Lion area, and married to Joanna Navarrskoy a foundation for future claims royal houses at its heritage (Shampan, etc.), which was later (1361), with John Dobrom, and was finally fixed. Entry to the throne in 1328 Valua dynasty was marked inclusion of the royal holdings its hereditary dukedom. In 1349 joined Dofine, the cease local dynasty. Generally, gains in F. royal power over one and a half centuries, leaking from the accession of Philip II Augustus (1180), until the end Kapetingov dynasty (1328), were very high : the royal domains much expanded (with many hit land, but in the hands of other members of a royal clan) whereas possession feudal seniors and the English King declined (see table. II stake VIII). But at the first king of the new dynasty began centenary war with the British, in the first period, which the French king, a treaty on Bretini 1360, was abandoned in favour of English on a variety of land (see table. II stake IX). In the first third of the XV. France made the case even worse; Britons seized huge territory to the Loire. Paused this war process of collecting France resumed with Carla VII (1422-1461), who managed to expel the British. Among the fiefs of the descendants of St. Louis in this era vozvysilas Burgundy, which has rested its western part in France (see table. II stake IX), in eastern Germany.

In addition, the king has the right to inherit from the last column Anzhuyskogo Provence (1481), won Bulone (1477) and subjugated itself Pikardiyu. When Carla VIII (1483-1498) ended Men line vladetelnogo homes Brittany (1488); Heir of his rights was the wife of Charles VIII, following his death emerged for Louis XII (1498-1515), which was prepared and adherence Brittany. Thus, a history F. comes almost united, and it remains to grow mainly on the east by St. Roman Empire. The first such acquisition (three letters : Mets, Tul and Verden), it was done with Heinrich II, but finally approved only centuries later. Mainly new acquisitions are already in tsarstvovaniyu dynasties Burbonov (see Fig. III stake X).
