Tags: French monarchs about this map intro 1. The title "King of the Franks" (Latin: Rex Francorum) gradually lost ground after 1190 during the reign of Philip II (but FRANCORUM REX continued to be used for example by Louis XII in 1499 by Francis I in 1515 and by Henry II about 1550). It was used on coins up to the eighteenth century.[n 1] During the brief period when the French Constitution of 1791 was in effect (1791–92) and after the July Revolution in 1830 the style "King of the French" was used instead of "King of France (and Navarre)".
