NP: Oh, sorry, I always get English and Uir confused. I put Enlish for the first word in the name but Uir for the second. Wouldn't an imperium have a line of [elected] monarchs though? Like the Papal line.

Yani: Yeah, the idea dawned on me when I noticed the # of Kingdoms/Empires in the region.

The Beatus:

We are sorry to hear of the destruction of your files.

EDIT NP: Sorry, I just realized you are now a 'Silver Imperial Dominion' not a 'Holy Imperium'. Nonetheless.

No need to apologise mate! The change in name will be made clear shortly, keep an eye on the forums ;)
And you are correct, we definitely have had a string of both elected monarchs in modernity and the more traditionally unelected in the past, I'm just too lazy to think 'em up. I'll consult my history and throw something together for you in the next few days.

Definitely going to get involved in this...neighboring monarchies have to be inter-married...its like an unwritten rule...besides...gives you a reason not to attack me or vice versa...family ties :P

(unless you pull a England and attack France just because you could be heir to the throne...not cool)

Any female royalty for 1530, and any male royalty for 1520? It would add an interesting twist in to my genealogical history of the royal family...
Dutch-Ruled Benelux
05-02-2008, 02:55
Let's see....

Charles I until 1477, Phillip IV until 1498, Charles II until 1510, Phillip V until 1530, Charles III until 1550 and Charles IV until 1581.

I suppose Phillip V could be the male for 1520 and say, Mary could be his 3rd cousin for 1530. Would that work? Although with a merged line it would be hard to seperate. Does your country allow females to ascend the throne if the male line dies out?
Bithunia
05-02-2008, 05:25
Nope.

Aelia Philotheos is the one who needs a husband...she is (calculates relationship with the current emporer at that time period)...

Aelia Philotheos is 4th cousins with Basileus Ionnas V Philotheos.

Known Stats about Aelia: b. 1496 to Basileus Mikos III Philotheos, d. 1549.

I don't have Aelia down for any children currently. We could definately integrate her descendants with Philip V later on down the line. Have a few marry in again, et cetera. Claims for the throne, skirmishes, on and on....

Anyway, her son(s) could have a claim to the throne, but only if he wasn't in line for his own throne...you know...gotta keep the two seperate :P.

-----

Ended up not needing the female, but thanks though.

Edit: On another note.....the current Greek royal family isn't really Greek...their actually *gasp* DUTCH!
Dutch-Ruled Benelux
05-02-2008, 22:06
They could have a claim although between 500 and 1000 people would probably have to die before they come anywhere near top 100.

If you have the line completed, I'd like to have it posted. Not like the whole family tree but just the line of Kings or Emperors if you prefer.

rofl...fortunately for me its a Bithunian tradition not to have more than three or four children in the Royal Family....(actually it just saves me time from sorting out ten different heirs :P)....there are only two immediate heirs at the moment in Bithunia, should Nikodemous die...Josephus (his brother) and Krisof (his uncle). But maybe I should add more people to the families *ponders*...after those two though, it's your King Willem VI who would become Emporer I believe...might make a good storyline...we'll have to think something out maybe later for this...could cause quite a stir ;)

Well, same here actually :P . The ones I listed are all at the farthest 7th cousins. I still have to list Willem VI's 8th through 14th cousins and their ancestors in order to fulfill your charts. I actually need all the living descendants of Herodius II and their relationship to Aelia. Don't worry if its something like 20 times removed.

I suggest checking the thread out and seeing if there is any territory which interests you. I read you are a group of islands, perhaps Corsica and Sardinia and such might be useful or if Miamoria and Bithunia allow, maybe the channel islands such as Jersey and Guernsey

Actually Herodius II had no descendants, his brothers succeeded him. First the middle brother Iacobus II (who had no descendants and died shortly later), so the youngest brother Antiochus III became Basileus.

Aelia is Antiochus III's great-great-great-granddaughter. Antiochus had a son, Basileus Peder IV. Peder IV had two sons. The younger was Alexois Philotheos, and he was Aelia's great-grandfather. The older son, Peder Philotheos, is who Nikodemous is currently descended from, as well as all currently living members of the Royal Family in Bithunia. That would of course change when we 'discover' the Benelux side of the family.

Oh, I see. Yeah, I'm not creative, I like having father-son descension so I wrongly assumed that the fifth one above Ionas (sp?) V was the great-great-great-grandfather of Aelia. Technically, they would know the Dutch (not beneluxese or beneluxian or anything like that) side of the family. What geanealogical software were you using?

Spain has never been a united country since XVIII century, although usually Spaniards start their "modern" lineage with the arrival of Habsburg family when Isabel I and Fernando IV and Castile and Aragon united in an only kingdom.

House of Habsgurg
Charles I --> Philip II (nicknamed "el Bello") --> Philip III --> Philip IV --> Charles II (nicknamed "el Embrujado").

When Charles II died without heirs, Spain entered on a kind of civil war, named War of Succession. This war, won by the Frenchmen Philip V, provoked a total unification of Spain in a French style, trying to supress the culture and the language of the other nations situated in the Península.

House of Bourbon
Phillip V --> Louis I (for half a year) --> Phillip V --> Ferdinand VI --> Charles III (nicknamed "Madrid's best mayor") --> Charles IV --> Ferdinand VII

French troops entered in Spain towards Portugal, but they stayed in the country for a long time. Ferdinand VII abdicated and passed the throne to Joseph of Bonaparte, Napoleon's brother.

House of Bonaparte
Joseph I (nicknamed "Pepe Botella")

Spanish troops won the Independence War and the House of Bourbon was restored.

House of Bourbon, first restoration
Ferdinand VII --> Isabella II

In those times, there was a lot of inestability in the country, and it forced Isabella to flee to France.

House of Savoy
Amadeus I was elected by the cortes, although he was Italian.

Amadeus I abdicated and the First Spanish Republic was proclamed. A year later, a coup d'état finished with the Republic and the Bourbons went to the throne again.

House of Bourbon, second restoration
Alfonso XII --> Alfonso XIII

Alphones XIII had to flee when republican parties landslided on local elections throughout the country. Then, the Second Spanish Republic was proclamed and lasted five years. In 1936, there was the Spanish Civil War and dictator Francisco Franco ruled the country until 1975.

House of Bourbon, third restoration
Juan Carlos I, incumbent.

The history of Spain has been very convulse during XIX and XX centuries, and all those wars and restorations have been a product of this convulsions.

Sorry if my English hasn't been very good.

ok I think I am sorting out the tree quite well. 32 names should be no problem and with 24 people alive with any one name it will be a snap. Here is something like what it looks like:

Phillip V
|
Charles III - Adriaan I
|
Charles IV - Andries I; Adriaan II
|
Charles V - Augustus I; Andries II; Adriaan III
|
Phillip VI - Bartolomeus I; Augustus II; Andries III; Adriaan IV
|
Charles VI - Bonifaas I; Bartolomeus II; Augustus III; Andries IV; Adriaan V
|
Phillip VII - Constantijn I; Bonifaas II; Bartolomeus III; Augustus IV; Andries V; Adriaan VI
|
Napolean I - Daniel I; Constantijn II; Bonifaas III; Bartolomeus IV; Augustus V; Andries VI; Adriaan VII
|
Napolean II - Diederik I; Daniel II; Constantijn III; Bonifaas IV; Bartolomeus V; Augustus VI; Andries VII; Adriaan VIII
|
Napolean III - Frans I; Diederik II; Daniel III; Constantijn IV; Bonifaas V; Bartolomeus VI; Augustus VII; Andries VIII; Adriaan IX
|
Willem I; Frans II; Diederik III; Daniel IV; Constantijn V; Bonifaas VI; Bartolomeus VII; Augustus VIII; Andries IX; Adriaan X

After that it gets way too complex to show like this.

*Explained over IM*

Revised summary with males only (females cannot inherit the throne):

Phillip V's children:

Charles III, Adriaan I, Andries I
Adriaan's and Andries lines continue father-single son

Charles III's children:

Charles IV, Augustus I, Antonius I
Augustus' and Antonius' lines continue like Adriaan's

Charles IV'd children:

Charles V, Alfons I, Aloysius I
Alfons' and Aloysius' lines continue like Adriaan's

Charles V's children:

Phillip VI, Bartholomeus I, Bonifaas I
Bartholomeus' and Bonifaas' lines continue like Adriaan's

Phillip VI's children:

Charles VI, Boudewijn I, Caspar I
Boudewijn and Caspar's lines continue like Adriaan's

Charles VI's children:

Phillip VII, Christiaan I, Cornelis I
Christiaan's and Cornelis' lines continue like Adriaan's

Phillip VII's children:

Napolean I, Daniel I, Phillip VIII
Daniel's and Phillip's lines continue like Adriaan's

Napolean I's children:

Napolean II, Diederik I
Diederik's line continues like Adriaan's

Napolean II's children:

Napolean III, Dominicus I
Dominicus' line continues like Adriaan's

During the generation of Willem I (Napolean III's only son), the Dominicus, Diederik, Daniel, Phillip, Christiaan, Cornelis, Boudewijn, Caspar, Bartholomeus, Bonifaas, Alfons, Aloysius, Augustus, Antonius, Adriaan and Andries lines all have two sons who have two sons each who have two sons each who have two sons each who have two sons each. Only those last two generations are still alive so:

Dominicus XVII through LXIV
Diederik XVIII through LXV
Daniel XIX through LXVI
Phillip XIX through LXVI
Christiaan XX through LXVII
Cornelis XX through LXVII
Boudewijn XXI through LXVIII
Casoar XXI through LXVIII
Bartholomeus XXII through LXIX
Bonifaas XXII through LXIX
Alfons XXIII through LXX
Aloysius XXIII through LXX
Augustus XXIV through LXXI
Antonius XXIV through LXXI
Adriaan XXV through LXXII
Andries XXV through LXXII

That is in rough order of the line of succession, the names not the numbers all though the numbers show the person with that name who is still 'alive' with the least number and with the greatest number.
