It's worth noting that during the Middle Ages, France was not a unified country as we know it today, rather it was a collection of duchies and counties that were ruled by different lords. The kings of the Capetian dynasty were only able to gradually unify these territories under their rule, and the process of unification was not completed until the 16th century.
