Genealogies of European
Royal Families
Introduction
This section contains the genealogies of
the European royal families. Each genealogy starts on a separate
page. Cadet branches also start on a new page.
Of each member all christian names, all
titles or the complete surname are mentioned. The christian
names, surnames and noble titles are in the original language.
Christian names and surnames of people from countries with
languages with a different alphabet - such as Greece, Montenegro,
Russia and Serbia/Yugoslavia - are "translated" into
the Latin alphabet.
Royal titles are translated into English.
However, where the English language has no proper equivalent for
certain titles, those titles are not translated. Those titles are
the German titles Fürst/Fürstin, Altgraf/Altgräfin, Wild- und
Rheingraf/Wild- und Rheingräfin, Ritter,
Freiherr/Freifrau/Freiin and Edler/Edle and the Dutch titles
Ridder and Jonkheer/Jonkvrouw(e).
As the German language makes disctintion between "von"
and "zu" (both meaning "of") these words also
are not translated except were the name of the country differs in
the English language from the German language.
The style the members of a royal family
enjoy are indicated with an abbreviation. Those are:
HDSH |
His/Her Ducal Serene Highness |
HGDH |
His/Her Grand Ducal Highness |
HH |
His/Her Highness |
HIH |
His/Her Imperial Highness |
H Ill H |
His/Her Illustrious Highness |
HIM |
His/Her Imperial Majesty |
HI & RH |
His/Her Imperial and Royal
Highness |
HM |
His/Her Majesty |
HRH |
His/Her Royal Highness |
HSH |
His/Her Serene Highness |
Places and dates of birth, marriage, death,
separation, divorce and annulment are as detailed as possible.
The abbreviation n.s. behind a date indicates that that date is
according to the Gregorian calendar we use today but that the
event took place at a time and a place were the Julian calendar
was in use.
