Count of Paris
Count of Paris
was a title for the local
magnate
of the district around
Paris
in
Carolingian
times. After
Hugh Capet
was elected
King of France
in 987, the title merged into the crown and fell into disuse. However, it was later revived by the
Orléanist
pretenders to the French throne in an attempt to evoke the legacy of Capet and
his dynasty
, and is currently used by
Prince Henri, Count of Paris, Duke of France
.
