Who was the current king of France in 1609?

Answer 1

Are you kidding? I hope you are. France is a democracy, has been since 1789, on and off!

AnswerFrance is a Republic! Democracy doesn't exclude the role of a monarch - Great Britain, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, etc Answer

France has not been a democracy (in the modern, liberal sense of the word) since 1789. Rather, in 1789 France began a long and tortious journey into revolution (and some historians would say that it began before that).

But to answer your original question, France does not have a ruling monarch. However, the current pretender King of France, by main consensus, is the Duke of Anjou. As King he would have been Louis XX of France. He is related to King Juan Carlos of Spain.

But there is NO current King of France. The head of state of France is the French president - Nicolas Sarkozy.

Answer 2

During the nineteenth century, France alternated between a constitutional monarchy, an empire, and a republic.

Louis XVI of France was King of France during the French Revolution. He was executed in 1793 and France became a republic.

Later on, Napoleon crowned himself as Emperor of France. When Napoleon was deposed, the Bourbon monarchy was restored, under Louis XVI's brother Louis XVIII. After him the last Bourbon king of France was Charles X.

Charles X was deposed in 1830 and followed by Louis-Philippe, the "Citizen King".

Louis-Philippe in turn was deposed in 1848. Technically he was the last king of France, but Napoleon III (Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte) ruled as the last Emperor of France from 1853-1871.

Answer 3

The last King of France was Louis the 16th (XVI in Roman numerals)- he ascended to the throne in 1754 at the age of 20, but was toppled from power in the Revolution of 1789. He remained imprisoned for several years before escaping and attempting to flee to exile in Germany in 1793 with his mistress, Marie Antoinette- they were discovered and arrested near the German border, re-arrested and put on trial by the newly formed National Convention as suspected subversives. Soon afterwards, they were both sentenced to death and beheaded on the guillotine.
