The Valois Dynasty succeeded the Capetian Dynasty as rulers of France from 1328-1589. They were descendants of Charles of Valois, the third son of King Philip III and based their claim to be ahead of Edward III of England and Jeanne de Navarre on a reintroduction of the Salic law.

List of Valois

The term "Valois Dukes of Burgundy" is employed to refer to the dynasty which began after a member of the Royal family (Philip, son of King Jean II), was given the Duchy of Burgundy.

• Philip II, the Bold (1364–1404)
• John, the Fearless (1404–1419)
• Philip III, the Good (1419–1467)
• Charles, the Rash ("le Temeraire") (1467–1477)
• Mary of Burgundy (1477–1482)

The application of the Salic Law meant that with the extinction of the Valois line on the male side, the Bourbon Dynasty followed as descendants of Louis IX.

Forms of address

Forms of address for Valois kings included "Most Christian Majesty".
