The
Kingdom of Navarre was divided into Lower and Upper Navarre in the 1510s, with separate lines of monarchs. Lower Navarre was officially annexed into the
Kingdom of France in 1620, while Upper Navarre was officially annexed to the
Kingdom of Spain in 1841. A number of people have since continued using the title of
King of Navarre in both France and Spain.
The
Style of the French sovereign included the title "King of France and Navarre" (1620-1791, 1814-1815, 1815-1830). The title is since uses by the pretenders recognized by the
Legitimists.
The pretenders recognized by the
Orléanists are recognized as heirs to the title, but do not use it. They use the title "King of the French".
The
titles of the Spanish kings include the title "King of Navarre". All monarchs since 1841 use this as a subsidiary title.
The pretenders recognized by
Carlism also use "King of Navarre" as a subsidiary title.
