List of French royal consorts

This article is about French royal consorts beginning with the 843 Treaty of Verdun. For royal consorts before 843, see List of Frankish queens.
"Queen of France" redirects here. For the ship, see USS Queen 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 French 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.

Some sources refer to Margaret of Anjou as Queen of France,[5] 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)
