Henry III of Navarre became Henry IV of France
and thereafter the crown of Navarre passed to the kings of France. In 1620, the Kingdom was merged into France; however, the French kings continued to use the title King of Navarre until 1791, and it was revived again from 1814 to 1830 during the Bourbon Restoration
.
The Bourbon Carlist pretenders to the throne of Spain had Spanish Navarre as a stronghold during the Carlist Wars, but their claim was to all the Spanish royal titles in general.
