French Royal Claimants

Name the claimants to the former French throne from each of the three current claiming houses by their regnal name.

The timeline starts at the point each dynasty was deposed for the first time, and does not include years when a pretender successfully became king.

One Legitimist descendant made no claim to the French throne, he is included for the purposes of this quiz.
