"프랑스 왕" refers to the monarchs who ruled over 프랑스 from the early medieval period until the establishment of the French Republic in the late 18th century. The monarchy played a significant role in shaping 프랑스 history, culture, and politics, with notable kings such as 루이 14세, known for his absolute rule and the construction of the 베르사유 궁전. The French monarchy began with the 카롤링거 왕조 and continued through various dynasties, including the 카페 왕조 and the 부르봉 왕조. The monarchy faced challenges, including the 프랑스 혁명 in 1789, which ultimately led to its downfall and the rise of republicanism in 프랑스.
