List of French royal consorts

Royal consorts of France


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 Third Republic was declared.

Queen Marie Antoinette, wife of King Louis XVI, was beheaded during the French Revolution.

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.
