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:

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.

Spouses of persons in the genealogy of a certain royal family that are on this website in another genealogy are hyperlinked.
