The houses of Valois, Bourbon and Orleans are all male line descendants and part of the Capetian dynasty.
That means the Spanish Royal Family is the main reigning part of the dynasty these days.
The Grand Duke of Luxembourg is duke of Nassau as the grandson of the semi-salic heiress of the Nassau-Weilburg dynasty: Charlotte of Nassau. She married her maternal first cousin prince Felix de Bourbon de Parme. Making their son Jean and his son Henri also members of the House of Parma and male line descendants of the Capetian dynasty.
As French princesses married into various families all reigning Royal dynasties in Europe have some line going back to the Capetians. Previous Message
Is there any connection between the Capet royals and the current royals of Europe?
