| The city first emerged as a significant artistic centre under the early Capetians in the 11th century. |
|
| Thus began the rivalry between the Capetians and the Plantagenets as well as the birth of the Gothic style in France. |
|
| The last of the direct Capetians were the daughters of Philip IV's three sons, and Philip IV's daughter, Isabella. |
|
| The dynastic question, which arose due to an interruption of the direct male line of the Capetians, was the official pretext. |
|
| The early Capetians had only one heir, the eldest son, whom they crowned during their lifetime. |
|
| Examples include Henry the Young King of England and the early Direct Capetians in France. |
|
| This intensified during the Hundred Years War, when, starting in 1339, the island was occupied by the Capetians on several occasions. |
|
| Despite this alliance between the Plantagenets and the Capetians, the dynasty on the French throne, the two houses were sometimes in conflict. |
|
| Henry's family was divided by rivalries and violent hostilities, more so than many other royal families of the day, in particular the relatively cohesive French Capetians. |
|
| These reforms came too late for the Angevins however, and only the Capetians saw the beneficial effects of this reform after they annexed the area. |
