In King Lear, which suitor marries Cordelia?

In King Lear, Cordelia marries the King of France. He accepts her as his bride after Lear rejects and disinherits her for refusing to flatter him during the kingdom's division.

At the opening of the play, Lear asks his three daughters to publicly declare how much they love him. Goneril and Regan offer extravagant speeches, but Cordelia answers honestly that she loves him according to her duty as a daughter. Lear treats her restraint as disobedience and strips her of her inheritance.

Cordelia has two suitors: the Duke of Burgundy and the King of France. Burgundy withdraws once Cordelia loses her dowry. The King of France, however, recognizes that her honesty is not a defect and marries her even without the land Lear had promised. She leaves Britain with him and later returns with an army to rescue her father.

The answer is sometimes complicated by Nahum Tate's 1681 adaptation, which altered Shakespeare's ending and had Cordelia marry Edgar instead. That version dominated the English stage for generations, but it is not Shakespeare's original play. In Shakespeare's King Lear, the King of France is the canonical answer.
