  5. Medieval Nation States - France Click here • Hugh Capet establishes the Capetiandynasty in Paris in 987 to 996 CE/AD, which gradually expands to control most of France • Hundred Year’s War against England defines France as a nation and sets modern boundaries • Joan of Arc (1412 to 1431) unifies French during the hundred years war, but is eventually captured by the English, condemned as a heretic and burned at the stake Viva la France!
