Name of many a French king (5)

I believe the answer is:

louis

(Other definitions for louis that I've seen before include "Name of eighteen undisputed kings of France" , "French king" , "old coin" , "-- Armstrong, singer; Joe --, boxer" , "-- Armstrong, trumpeter" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
