For the Direct Capetians, who ruled France 987–1328, see the House of Capet. The Capetian dynasty (French: La dynastie capétienne) includes any of the direct descendants of Hugh Capet of France. The current king of Spain and the grand duke of Luxembourg are members of this family. The Capetian dynasty is the oldest continuously ruling monarchial dynasty in Europe, rivaling the better known (in name) Habsburg family.
