This refers to him being a descendant of Hugh Capet, the King of Franks from 987 to 996. He was tried under this name by the National Convention and then executed in 1793. Hugh Capet’s descendants through the male line, otherwise known as the Capetian dynasty, ruled France from 987 to 1792 and once more from 1814 to 1848.
