Charles IV of France dies childless
February 1328
The last Capetian king in the direct line collapsed at Vincennes, leaving only daughters and a pregnant widow. The widow's child was a girl. The Salic interpretation handed the crown to his cousin Philip of Valois, bypassing the female line entirely. Edward III of England, son of Charles's sister Isabella, considered himself robbed.
