| The city first emerged as a significant artistic centre under the early Capetians in the 11th century. |
| 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. |
| Thus began the rivalry between the Capetians and the Plantagenets as well as the birth of the Gothic style in France. |
| 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. |
| The early Capetians had only one heir, the eldest son, whom they crowned during their lifetime. |
