Rest of Tudor Claimants
Ill feeling between the two nations continued well into the 16th century. Calais was captured by French troops under Francis, Duke of Guise on January 7, 1558. Mary and Philip continued, however, to be styled Queen and King of France for the rest of her reign, as did Mary I's half-sister and successor Elizabeth I, despite her abandonment of her claims to Calais in the Treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis of 1559. A little portion of the ancient Kingdom of France, the Channel Islands, remain British to this day.
- Mary I and Philip of England (January 7 – November 17, 1558)
- Elizabeth I of England (November 17, 1558 – March 24, 1603)
