Royal consorts of France
This article is about French royal consorts beginning with the 843 Treaty of Verdun. For royal consorts before 843, see
List of Frankish queens .
Queen Marie Antoinette , wife of King Louis XVI , was beheaded during the French Revolution .
This is a list of the women who were queens or empresses as wives of French monarchs from the 843 Treaty of Verdun , which gave rise to West Francia , until 1870, when the French Third Republic was declared.
Living wives of reigning monarchs technically became queen consorts, including Margaret of Burgundy and Blanche of Burgundy who were kept in prison during their whole queenships.
