Answer

The end of the Capetian dynasty was a major consequence of Charles IV's death. Charles IV was the last male heir of the Capetian dynasty, and his death in 1328 without a male heir marked the end of the dynasty that had ruled France since 987. The end of the Capetian dynasty led to a period of instability and conflict in France, as various claimants to the throne emerged.
