Did France ever have a King or Queen?

Answer 1

France is no longer a monarchy. Spain and The United Kingdom maintained their monarchies as have a few other nations. Partially because of the success of the American Revolution that brought an end to British domination over the American Colonies, France undertook a revolution between 1789 and 1799 that resulted in the end of the monarchy. It sounds as if your question suggests that the reigning monarch in the French Monarchy was always a queen. This was generally not the case. As in the United Kingdom currently, the crown passes to the oldest direct male heir if there is one. This happens even if there is a female heir older than the oldest male. The crown passes to a female heir (as it did for Elizabeth II) if there is no direct male heir from the previous monarch. In the United Kingdom, this line of succession is controlled and defined by Parliament. Spain didnt have a monarch after 1936 when Franco took power until the restoration of King Juan Carlos.

Answer 2

Kings - no woman could inherit - until 1792, then from 1814 to 1848
