  General Notes:

Louis X, called The Headstrong, king of France (1314-16), the son of Philip IV. Influenced by his uncle, Charles de Valois, he was preoccupied for much of his short reign with unrest among his nobles, to whom he granted charters confirming their privileges, and with an indecisive campaign against Flanders that he led in 1315. Louis's posthumous son, John I, born in 1316, died shortly after his birth, and the succession went to Louis's brother, Philip V.

• He was a Count of Champagne and King of Navarre from 1305 to 1316.
