List of French royal consorts

This is a list of the women who were queens or empresses as wives of French monarchs from the 843 Treaty of Verdun, which gave rise to West Francia, until 1870, when the French Third Republic was declared.
Living wives of reigning monarchs technically became queen consorts, including Margaret of Burgundy and Blanche of Burgundy who were kept in prison during their whole queenships.
Some sources refer to Margaret of Anjou as Queen of France, but her right to enjoy that title is disputed. She was briefly recognized only in English-controlled territories of France. (See also: Dual monarchy of England and France)
Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon, who secretly married Louis XIV in 1683, was never publicly acknowledged as his wife.

List of current monarchs of sovereign states

A monarch is the head of a monarchy, a form of government in which a state is ruled by an individual who normally rules for life or until abdication, and typically inherits the throne by birth. Monarchs may be autocrats (as in all absolute monarchies) or may be ceremonial figureheads, exercising only limited or no reserve powers at all, with actual authority vested in a legislature and/or executive cabinet (as in many constitutional monarchies). In many cases, a monarch will also be linked with a state religion. Most states only have a single monarch at any given time, although a regent may rule when the monarch is a minor, not present, or otherwise incapable of ruling. Cases in which two monarchs rule simultaneously over a single state, as is the current situation in Andorra, are known as coregencies.
A variety of titles are applied in English; for example, "king" and "queen", "prince" and "princess", "grand duke" and "grand duchess", "emperor" and "empress". Although they will be addressed differently in their local languages, the names and titles in the list below have been styled using the common English equivalent. Roman numerals, used to distinguish related rulers with the same name, have been applied where typical.
In political and sociocultural studies, monarchies are normally associated with hereditary rule; most monarchs, in both historical and contemporary contexts, have been born and raised within a royal family. Succession has been defined using a variety of distinct formulae, such as proximity of blood, primogeniture, and agnatic seniority. Some monarchies, however, are not hereditary, and the ruler is instead determined through an elective process; a modern example is the throne of Malaysia. These systems defy the model concept of a monarchy, but are commonly considered as such because they retain certain associative characteristics. Many systems use a combination of hereditary and elective elements, where the election or nomination of a successor is restricted to members of a royal bloodline.
Entries below are listed beside their respective dominions, which are organised alphabetically. These monarchs reign as head of state in their respective sovereign states. Monarchs reigning over a constituent division, cultural or traditional polity are listed under constituent monarchs. For a list of former ruling families or abolished thrones, see: former ruling families.
Kingdom of France (1791–92)

The Kingdom of France (the remnant of the preceding absolutist Kingdom of France) was a constitutional monarchy from 3 September 1791 until 21 September 1792, when it was succeeded by the French First Republic.
On 3 September 1791, the National Constituent Assembly forced King Louis XVI to accept the French Constitution of 1791, thus turning the absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy.
After the 10 August 1792 Storming of the Tuileries Palace, the Legislative Assembly on 11 August 1792 suspended the constitutional monarchy. The freshly elected National Convention abolished the monarchy on 21 September 1792, thus, ending 203 years of consecutive Bourbon rule over France.
Since 1789, France underwent a revolution in its government and social orders. A National Assembly declared itself into being and promulgated their intention to provide France with a fair and liberal constitution. Louis XVI moved to Paris in October of that year, but grew to detest Paris, and organised an escape plot in 1791. The plot, known as the Flight to Varennes, ultimately failed to materialise and severely damaged any positive public opinion for the monarchy. Louis XVI's brothers-in-exile in Koblenz rallied for an invasion of France. Austria and Prussia responded to the royal brothers' appeals and released the Declaration of Pillnitz in August. The declaration stated that Prussia and Austria wished to restore Louis XVI to absolute power but would only attempt to do so with the assistance of the other European powers.
Louis XVI was forced to submit to the Constitution of 1791 by the National Assembly in the aftermath of his Flight to Varennes. The Constitution of 1791, which established the Kingdom of the French, was revolutionary in its content. It abolished the nobility of France and declared all men to be equal before the law. Louis XVI had the ability to veto legislation that he did not approve of, as legislation still needed Royal Assent to come into force.
Louis XVI reluctantly declared war on Austria on 20 April 1792, bowing to the Assembly's wishes. Prussia allied with Austria and therefore France was at war with Prussia as well. The Duke of Brunswick, Commander of the Austrian and Prussian military, issued the Brunswick Manifesto in 1792; it brought about the Storming of the Tuileries on the 10th of August. The manifesto explicitly threatened the people of Paris with dire repercussions if they in any way harmed Louis XVI or his family. The Legislative Assembly was inundated with requests for the monarchy's demise. The President of the National Assembly responded by suspending the monarchy on 11 August, pending the outcome of elections for another assembly. The newly elected National Convention, elected under universal male suffrage, abolished the monarchy on 21 September 1792 and proclaimed a republic. Louis was executed by guillotine on 21 January 1793.
Proclamation of the abolition of the monarchy

During the French Revolution, the proclamation of the abolition of the monarchy (French: Proclamation de l'abolition de la royauté) was a proclamation by the National Convention of France announcing that it had abolished the French monarchy on 21 September 1792, giving birth to the French First Republic.
The convention's députés were instructed to put an end to the crisis that had broken out since the prevented flight to Varennes of Louis XVI in June 1791 and the bloody capture of the Tuileries Palace (10 August 1792). Their middle-class origin and their political activity meant that most of them bore no sympathy for the monarchy, and the victory at the Battle of Valmy on 20 September (the revolution's first military success) occurred on the same day as their meeting, thus confirming their convictions.
When the député for Paris, Jean-Marie Collot d'Herbois, proposed abolition he met with little resistance; at most, Claude Basire, friend of Georges Danton, tried to temper the enthusiasm, recommending a discussion before any decision. However, Abbé Henri Grégoire, constitutional bishop of Blois, replied strongly to any suggestion of discussion:
Jean-François Ducos supported him in affirming that any discussion would be useless "after the lights spread by 10 August". The summary argument served as a debate and the decision taken was unanimous, giving birth to the French First Republic.
In the wake of the proclamation, efforts grew to eliminate the vestiges of the Ancien régime. As the date of the Republic's first anniversary approached, the Convention passed a set of laws replacing many familiar ancien systems of order and measurement, including the old Christian calendar. This dramatic change was powerful encouragement to the growing wave of anticlericalism which sought a dechristianisation of France. The new French Republican Calendar discarded all Christian reference points and calculated time from the Republic's first full day after the monarchy, 22 September 1792, the first day of Year One.
Tomb of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany

The Tomb of Louis XII and Anne of Brittany is a large and complex silver-gilt and marble sculptured 16th century funerary monument. Its design and build are usually attributed to the Juste brothers although the work of several other hands can be distinguished. Designed for and installed at the Saint-Denis Basilica, France, it was commissioned in 1515 in memory of Louis XII (d. 1515, aged 52) and his queen Anne of Brittany (d. 1514, aged 36), probably by Louis' successor Francis I (reigned 1515–1547), and after years of design and intensive building was unveiled in 1531.
The tomb's monumentality breaks from traditional medieval representations, and is influenced by classical sources, especially Roman, probably borrowed from Andrea Sansovino and contemporary Florentine sculptors. The art historian Barbara Hochstetler Meyer describes it as portraying the deceased "with a verism, poignancy, and sensitivity to nature rarely equalled in the north of Europe during the sixteenth century."
Louis is shown in the interior as a gaunt, rotting and naked recumbent cadaver, his head resting on a stone pillow. His death mask is a remarkably realistic depiction of the recently dead: his eyes are sunken into his skull, his skin is taut, his neck is especially emaciated, and his hair is very thin.
The stone slab above the tomb shows both alive and in full flesh. Louis and Anne are depicted kneeling beside with their hands clasped in prayer. Unusually, the king is not wearing a crown. He had suffered prolonged illness before his death, and the impact of this is made evident by his sagging skin and decrepit muscles. Nor is his age shied away from; he has a long curved nose, beady and alert but swollen eyes, and a double chin.
The arches of the tomb contain several groupings of seated figures, including apostles and figures representing the seven cardinal virtues. Beyond them, at each corner are four larger, also seated, female figures.

Dessert sauce

A dessert sauce is a sauce used for desserts. It is drizzled or poured atop various desserts, and is also used for plate decoration. Dessert sauce adds flavor, moisture, texture and color to desserts, may be cooked or uncooked, and is sometimes prepared as a hard sauce with the addition of alcoholic beverages. It is used in various manners to add flavor to and enhance the visual presentation of desserts.
In French cuisine, dessert sauces are often referred to as crèmes, rather than sauces.
Dessert sauce is typically drizzled or poured atop various desserts, and may also be drizzled or poured on the plate. Dessert sauce examples include caramel sauce, custard, crème anglaise, chocolate sauce, dulce de leche, fruit sauces such as blueberry sauce, raspberry sauce and strawberry sauce. Raspberry sauce may be strained using a sieve to remove the seeds from the sauce. Dessert sauce adds flavor, moisture, texture, and color to desserts. It may be cooked or uncooked.
Dessert sauce is sometimes prepared as a hard sauce with the addition of alcoholic beverages, such as bourbon, brandy or liqueur. Desserts with hard sauces can be served flambéed because the ethyl alcohol in distilled beverages is flammable. Drops of lemon flavoring may be added to the sauce as a fire accelerant.
Dessert sauces are used on many desserts such as cake, cheesecake, pound cake, and ice cream. Dry and firm desserts may be enhanced by the use of a dessert sauce that soaks into the dessert, which adds moisture and flavor.
Dessert sauce can be used to add visual art to desserts, by using the sauce to paint designs and imagery on them. A plastic squeeze bottle full of sauce can be used to aid in decoration. Dessert sauce is also used on plates that desserts are placed upon, and can be arranged in an artistic design. A toothpick or knife can be used to swirl the sauce on plates to create various designs.
Some companies mass-produce dessert sauces, such as British Sugar and The Hershey Company, and market them under various brand names. These products are typically available for consumers in grocery stores and supermarkets.
Crème anglaise

Crème anglaise (French: [kʁɛm ɑ̃glɛz]; French for 'English cream'), custard sauce, pouring custard, or simply custard is a light, sweetened pouring custard from French cuisine, used as a dessert cream or sauce. It is a mix of sugar, egg yolks, and hot milk usually flavoured with vanilla.
Crème anglaise can be poured over cakes or fruits as a sauce or eaten as part of desserts such as floating island. It also serves as a base ingredient for other desserts such as ice cream or crème brûlée.
As a beverage, it is known as "drinking custard" or "boiled custard" in the American South and served like eggnog during the Christmas season.
Other names include the French terms crème à l'anglaise ("English-style cream") and crème française ("French cream").
Imitation custard sauce, containing no egg, is often made from instant custard powders such as Bird's Custard.
Clafoutis

Clafoutis (French pronunciation: [klafuti]; Occitan: clafotís [klafuˈtis] or [kʎafuˈtiː]), sometimes spelled clafouti in Anglophone countries, is a French dish of fruit, unpitted black cherries, arranged in a buttered dish, covered with a thick but pourable batter, then baked to create a crustless tart. The clafoutis is traditionally dusted with powdered sugar and served tepid, sometimes with cream, as a dessert. It can also be served as a breakfast or brunch main or side dish. It originates in the Limousin region.
One proposed derivation of the dish's name is from the Occitan clafotís, from the verb clafir, meaning "to fill" (implied: "the batter with cherries"). Another is that clafir comes from the old French claufir, meaning "to fix with nails," explained as the cherries having the appearance of nail heads.
A traditional Limousin clafoutis contains both the flesh of the cherries and the nut-like kernels. Cherry kernels contain benzaldehyde, the compound responsible for the dominant flavour in almond extract. They also contain a small amount of amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside - a compound potentially capable of releasing cyanide if consumed, but non-toxic in small quantities.
Clafoutis comes from the Limousin region of France.
While unpitted black cherries are traditional, there are numerous variations using other fruits. This includes pitted red or black cherries, other stonefruit such as peaches or plums, and other fruit like apples or pears, or berries.
A flaugnarde is a similar dessert, but made with other fruits such as apples, pears, apricots or plums. Cacou, a specialty of Paray-le-Monial, is a dessert similar to clafoutis made with unpitted Bigarreaux cherries. Far Breton is a dessert similar to clafoutis made with prunes. A flan is a similar dish made with a flourless batter.
Savoury clafoutis, made with vegetables and without sugar, can also be made.
A pourable batter, similar in thickness to a pancake batter, is made from flour, eggs, milk, sugar, and salt and sometimes other ingredients such as almond flour, yogurt, and flavourings like vanilla or kirsch or other fruit brandies. The batter is poured over cherries or other fruit in a shallow baking dish and baked. Some recipes call for pouring the batter into the pan and topping with the fruit before baking. The finished product has a light, custardlike texture.
The dish is traditionally served as a dessert, but some less-sweet variations may also be appropriate as a breakfast or brunch dish. It can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled. It may be served sprinkled with powdered sugar and may be served alone or with accompaniments such as cream, whipped cream, or ice cream.
In her autobiographical novel The War: A Memoir, French Resistance member and writer Marguerite Duras wrote that she carefully gathered the rationed ingredients to make her husband a clafoutis when he returns from a concentration camp, only to find he is too weak from malnutrition and exposure to eat it.
Blanche Monnier

Blanche Monnier (pengucapan bahasa Prancis: [blɑ̃ʃ mɔnje]; 1 Maret 1849 – 13 Oktober 1913), sering dikenal di Prancis sebagai la Séquestrée de Poitiers (diterjemahkan kasar sebagai "Wanita Terkurung dari Poitiers"), adalah seorang wanita dari Poitiers, Vienne, Prancis, yang diam-diam dikurung di sebuah ruangan kecil oleh ibunya yang aristokrat selama 25 tahun. Dia akhirnya ditemukan oleh polisi, dalam keadaan setengah baya dan kondisinya yang kurus dan kotor; menurut petugas, Monnier tidak melihat sinar matahari selama penahanannya.
Monnier adalah seorang sosialita Prancis dari keluarga borjuis konservatif yang dihormati di Poitiers dari keluarga bangsawan kuno. Dia terkenal karena kecantikan fisiknya, dan menarik banyak calon pelamar untuk menikah. Pada tahun 1874, pada usia 25 tahun, dia ingin menikah dengan pengacara yang lebih tua yang tidak sesuai dengan keinginan ibunya, Louise; dia berargumen bahwa putrinya tidak bisa menikah dengan "pengacara yang tidak punya uang". Ibunya yang tidak setuju, marah karena pembangkangan putrinya, menguncinya di sebuah ruangan kecil dan gelap di loteng rumah mereka, di mana dia mengasingkannya selama 25 tahun. Louise Monnier dan saudara laki-lakinya Marcel melanjutkan kehidupan sehari-hari mereka, berpura-pura berduka atas hilangnya Blanche. Tak satu pun dari teman-temannya tahu di mana dia berada, dan pengacara yang ingin dinikahinya meninggal secara tidak terduga pada tahun 1885. Pada tanggal 23 Mei 1901, "Jaksa Agung Paris" menerima surat anonim – yang penulisnya masih belum diketahui – yang mengungkapkan incarceration:
Monnier diselamatkan oleh polisi dari kondisi yang mengerikan, ditutupi dengan makanan tua dan kotoran, dengan serangga di sekitar tempat tidur dan lantai, beratnya hampir tidak ada. 25 kilogram (55 pon).
Seorang polisi menggambarkan keadaan Monnier dan tempat tidurnya demikian:
Ibunya ditangkap, jatuh sakit tak lama kemudian, dan meninggal 15 hari kemudian setelah melihat massa yang marah berkumpul di depan rumahnya. Kakaknya Marcel Monnier muncul di pengadilan, dan awalnya dihukum, tetapi kemudian dibebaskan pada banding; Marcel Monnier dianggap cacat mental, dan meskipun hakim mengkritik pilihannya, mereka menemukan bahwa "tugas untuk menyelamatkan" tidak ada dalam hukum pidana pada waktu itu dengan aturan yang cukup untuk menghukumnya..
Setelah dia keluar dari kamar, Monnier terus menderita masalah kesehatan mental. Dia didiagnosis dengan berbagai kelainan, termasuk anorexia nervosa, skizofrenia, eksibisionisme, dan coprophilia. Hal ini segera menyebabkan dia masuk ke rumah sakit jiwa di Blois, Prancis, di mana dia akhirnya meninggal pada tahun 1913 dalam ketidakjelasan yang tampak jelas.
