    Which three successive "Kings of France" were actually brothers and were succeeded to by a cousin of theirs, who for reasons of principle preferred to take the title "King of the French"?

    Question #101161. Asked by flem-ish. (Nov 20 08 5:15 PM)

    		The 3 brothers were: Louis XVI, Louis XVII and Charles X.
    The cousin was: Louis-Phillip I

    Louis-Phillip wanted to link the monarchy to a people instead of a territory and undercut the claims of Charles X and his family to the throne.

    		By the way also the Belgian monarch is called "King of the Belgians" rather than "King of Belgium".http://www.google.be/search?client=firefox-a&channel=s&hl=nl&q=King+of+the+Belgians&meta=&btnG=Google+zoeken

    Tutored by a mythical creature along with his more celebrated cousin, this unusually large and combative guy had to work overtime when his touchy relative preferred to withdraw in a snit. Now, someone thinks that he has found this ancient individual's home. Who was he, where is that residence, and who, by the way, were the mythical creature and the cousin?

    He was a king, and the son of a king, succeeding his father. His sister was a queen. His second son was a king before he was, and his eldest son succeeded him after only six years. Who was he, and who were they?
