Does the queen rule France?
Unfortunatly, no queen rules France nowadays. If you "the queen" refers to the Queen of the United Kingdom, it's interesting to know that her predecessors claimed the title of King of France until the 19th century.
Who was the last french king and when did he die?
Officially, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. They were the last real King and Queen of France. After the Napoleonic period (who turned France into an empire), the French monarchy was restored for some time, but only as a constitutional monarchy, meaning there were a King and Queen of France, but only in name. It was purely a title and they had no real reigning power. The last king and queen of that constitutional monarchy were Louis Philippe I and Maria Amalia (Marie Antoinette's niece).
How do kings get their numbers?
Automatically. The first King with a particular name has, during his lifetime, no number. After that, the official title becomes, for example, 'Henry, eighth of that name, King of England... ' and so on with the full list of titles. Not even a King Chan choose his own number. Simply by adding one to the last king of the same name. For instance, if Prince Charles were to take that name, he would be Charles III, and subsequently his son Prince William would be William V. [In fact, Charles has let it be known that he will not assume the title of Charles III].
Were there any kings of France after Louis XVI?
Officially, Louis XVI was the last real King of France of the old regime. He was the last King of France with actual reigning power. After him, Napoleon Bonaparte crowned himself emperor of France, so then France was an empire. After Napoleon, the monarchy in France was restored, and Louis XVIII (a.k.a. Comte de Provence, the bother of Louis XVI) became King of France, but he had no reigning power, being only a King in name since the old regime had been abolished in 1792. After him, his brother became King, King Charles X (a.k.a. Comte de Artois, another brother of Louis XVI). After him, Louis Philippe (the cousin of King Charles X) became King. After them, France turned into a Republic and had presidents.
