French medieval history after the early Middle Ages is dominated by two dynasties: The Capetian dynasty, the founders of the French monarchy and French state (often outright referred to as “The House of France”), and their cadet branch, the Valois dynasty (House of Valois) that succeeded the Capetians after their dynasty died out in the early 14th century.

These are points of divergence concerning various alternate developments and outcomes in the two dynasties.
