Notes:

Louis X the Quarreller, also called the Headstrong or the Stubborn, (French: Louis X le Hutin, Spanish: Luis el Obstinado) (October 4, 1289 ? June 5, 1316), King of France from 1314 to 1316, was a member of the Capetian Dynasty.

He was born in Paris, France, son of Philip IV of France and Jeanne of Navarre.

He inherited the title king of Navarre on the death of his mother, on April 2, 1305.

On the death of his father in 1314, he became king of France and was officially crowned at Reims in August 1315.

On September 21, 1305 he married Marguerite de Bourgogne (Burgundy) and they had a daughter, Jeanne (January 28, 1312 - October 6, 1349). Louis accused his wife of adultery and she was imprisoned and died in the chateau Gaillard. On August 13, 1315 he married Clemence d'Anjou (1293 - 1328), daughter of Charles Martel and sister of Charles I of Hungary.

The reign of Louis X was short and unremarkable, dominated by the continued feuding with the noble factions within the kingdom.

Louis died at Vincennes, Val-de-Marne, following a game of Jeu de Paume (some say from dehydration) in 1316. He was interred with his second wife Clemence in Saint Denis Basilica.

At the time of Louis's death, his wife Clemence was pregnant, making it impossible to know Louis's successor until the time his child was born. If the child were a son, he would succeed Louis as king: had the child been a daughter, there would be a question between Louis's (eldest) daughter Joan and his brother Philip V. (John I's half-sister Jeanne, as a female, had a disputed claim to the throne of France: a female could not succeed to the throne of France if following the Salic law; she did, however, have rights in the succession of Navarre where females are allowed - witness that kingdom being brought to Capetians by Louis' own mother). It must be underscored that at that time, there existed these two ideas of succession, and it was not at all clear that Salic Law should be followed. This legal question had never earlier been resolved regarding the throne of France.

Louis's next brother, the future Philip V was appointed regent (this act working in favor of the idea of him being the heir presumptive and the Salic Law being in control - however, Joan was at that time a minor, thus not a very good candidate for regentship - and apparently, the pregnant widow, queen Clemence, was not regarded a good choice for position of the regent), for the five months remaining until the birth of his brother's child, who turned out to be male. Thus Louis was succeeded by his posthumous son John I (Jean I), who lived only five days. Louis X's brother Philip then became king.

Louis married Marguerite Of BURGUNDY on 21 Sep 1305. Marguerite (daughter of Robert II Duke Of BURGUNDY and Agnes Princess Of FRANCE) was born in 1290; died in 1315 in Gaillard. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Family/Spouse: Clemence Of ANJOU. Clemence (daughter of Charles Martel Of ANJOU and Klementia Of GERMANY) was born in 1293; died in 1328. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Excerpt from Blood Royal: Charles IV, King of France, died in 1328, leaving no sons or brothers to succeed him. He had one sister, Isabella of France, mother of Edward III. Because Frances's Salic law did not allow a woman to succeed to the throne, Philip VI, Charles' cousin, succeeded. However, England did not recognize the Salic law, and Edward III claimed the throne of France through his mother, thus beginning the Hundred Years' War.

Family/Spouse: Joan Of FRANCE. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Excerpt from Blood Royal: In February 1308, Esabella of France, wife of the ill-fated Edward II, was crowned Queen of England. This descendant of Harold came to be called the She-Wolf of france, and she brougth back his blood to the throne of England with a vengeance. Pushed aside by her husband in his perference for his favorite, Piers Gaveston, she became romantically involved with Roger de Mortimer, Earlof March, and their intrigues resulted in the deposition and assassination of the king.

Isabella married Edward II King Of ENGLAND on 25 Jan 1308 in Boulogne Cathedral, France. Edward (son of Edward I "Longshanks"Of ENGLAND and Countess of Ponthieu Eleanor of CASTILE) was born on 25 Apr 1284 in Caernarvon Castle, Caernarvonshire, Wales; died on 21 Sep 1327 in (Murdered) Berkeley Castle, Berkeley, Gloucesteshire, England; was buried in Gloucester Cathedral,Gloucestershire, England.
