OK minor question but one I think is important. I did some research on the various French Royal lines and came across something that confused me. The House of Valois had three distinct branches that ruled: the main Valois line, the Valois-Orléans line and the Valois-Angoulême line. Yet all were generally called the House of Valois. So in this spirit should the House of Orléans or more formally the Bourbon-Olréans be called the House of Bourbon instead?
