King of France. The claim to the throne of France was first made by Edward III in
1340. The only English king to hold the title de facto was the young
Henry VI, who was crowned king of France in Paris in 1430 after Charles VII had
been crowned at Reims the year before. The title continued to be used by
English monarchs until dropped by George III in 1800, at the time of the Act of
Union.
Defender of the faith. Henry VIII was awarded the title
by Pope Leo X in 1521. Although Henry subsequently broke from the Roman
Catholic church, he retained the title, as have all subsequent English
monarchs.
