As we have learnt, the Usurper Queen Caroline-Christine is a false pretender to the Truly Equal Throne. The true line descends not from King Herman's youngest daughter Anna, but from his second child, Herman. Prince Herman's daughter Margaret inherited the throne not from her father, but from her cousin King Ulrich II. At last, the true tale of our ruling house(s) can be told:
The House of Normandy
The royal line was established by William the Conqueror in 1066. On the principle that a new Royal House is begun every time the throne passes in any direction other than straight down the family tree, the first line ends with his eldest son, who died childless.
- 1. William I the Conqueror (b. 1028, r. 1066-1087)
- 2. Robert Curthose (b. 1051, r. 1087-1106) - Son
The House of England
For the last time, the true royal house held their inheritance in Henry II. They would never reclaim it. King Thomas died young and childless, passing the throne to his uncle.
- 3. Henry I Beauclerc (b. 1068, r. 1106-1135) - Son of William I (#2)
- 4. Matilda I the Empress (b. 1102, r. 1135-1167) - Daughter
- 5. Henry II Curtmantle (b. 1133, r. 1167-1189) - Son
- 6. Matilda II Richenza (b. 1172, r. 1189-1209) - Granddaughter
- 7. Thomas (b. 1193, r. 1209-1217) - Son
The House of Brunswick
The royal line moved firmly into Germany, with Henry III being Count Palatine of the Rhine. When Frederick I died young and childless, the crown passed to his sister Agnes.
- 8. Henry III the Elder (b. 1173, r. 1217-1227) - Brother of Matilda II (#6)
- 9. Irmingard (b. 1200, r. 1227-1260) - Daughter
- 10. Frederick I (b. 1249, r. 1260-1268) - Grandson
The House of Carinthia
The line of Carinthia rose to great heights, only to founder at the last: Queen Hedwig was heir to the thrones of Poland and Lithuania, but was cruelly poisoned by her stepmother.
- 11. Agnes (b. 1250, r. 1268-1295) - Sister of Frederick I (#10)
- 12. Catherine I (b. 12??, r. 1295-1316) - Daughter
- 13. Frederick II (b. 1300, r. 1316-1359) - Son
- 14. Ulric I (b. 1331, r. 1359-1368) - Son
- 15. William II (b. 1361, r. 1368-1392) - Son
- 16. Anna (b. 1381, r. 1392-1416) - Daughter
- 17. Hedwig Jabiellon (b. 1408, r. 1416-1431) - Daughter
The House of Celje
The House of Celje was not a happy one: two of the three kings which make it up died a few years into their reign. It is from King Herman that the Usurper Queen's claim comes.
- 18. Herman I (b. ca. 1360, r. 1431-1435) - Grandson of Frederick II (#13)
- 19. Frederick III (b. 1379, r. 1435-1454) - Son
- 20. Ulric II (b. 1406, r. 1454-1456) - Son
The House of Montfort-Pfannberg-Bregenz
Through her father Prince Herman, Queen Margaret can assert her superior claim to Barbara and her heirs. From this point, her line becomes increasingly hard to trace. King Hugh's date of birth is entirely unknown.
- 21. Margaret (b. 1411, r. 1456-1480) - Granddaughter of Herman I (#18)
- 22. Herman II (b. 1430s, r.1480-1482) - Son
- 23. Hugh (b. 14??, r. 1482-1550) - Son
The House of Montfort
Queen Lucy, despite her short reign, is a keystone of the dynasty: of the six monarchs traditionally listed after her, only one does not look directly to her to support his claim.
- 24. Jacob (b.15??, r. 1550-1573) - Grandson of Herman II (#22)
- 25. Catherine II (b. 1553, r. 1573-1631) - Daughter
- 26. Lucy (b. 1582, r. 1631-1633) - Daughter
- 27. Adam (b. 1604, r. 1633-1657) - Son
The House of Slavata
The last undisputed section of the royal line. King Francis' sons Francis and John predeceased him, breaking the line once again.
- 28. Mary I (b. 16??, r. 1657-1685) - Granddaughter of Lucy I (#26)
- 29. Francis (b.1679, r. 1685-1761) - Son
Disputed - The House of Liechtenstein-Castelcorn
There is no information regarding the two daughters of Mary I, other than their names. No titles passed to them following the death of their brother. They may have died in childhood; they may have died without issue; or they may have married into obscurity. They are presented here as possible claimants, but the main line disregards them.
- 30. == Mary II Barbara - Daughter of Mary I (#28)
- 30. == Mary II Francisca - Daughter of Mary I (#28)
The House of Götzen
Despite the disputed Liechtenstein claims, the crown still passed to a Queen Mary II - this one many generations removed from Queen Lucy. The line of inheritence runs Lucy - Joachim - Ferdinand - Margaret - John - Mary II, but the longevity of Mary I and Francis means that Mary II Maximiliana was the claimant at the time. As for the end of the line, it seems that Queen Antonia died in childbirth, leaving her infant son Earnest to rule until his death.
- 30. == Mary II Maximiliana (b. 1709, r. 1761-1771) - Great-Great-Great-Granddaughter of Lucy I (#26)
- 31. Mary III Maximiliana (b. 1741, r. 1771-1814) - Daughter
- 32. Joseph (b. 1767, r. 1814-1818) - Son
- 33. Rose (b. 1792, r. 1818-1844) - Daughter
- 34. Antonia (b. 1821, r.1844-1847) - Daughter
- 35. Earnest (b. 1847, r. 1847-1875) - Son
The House of Dietrichstein-Proskau-Leslie
The last and current line of the royal family. Charles II reigned from childhood, his rule spanning most of the 20th century. Queen Mary IV has held the throne for many years how; as far as can be determined, her heir is her brother Charles, a Czech politician.
- 36. Sophie (b. 1823, r. 1875-1909) - Granddaughter of Rose I (#33)
- 37. Charles I (b. 1886, r. 1909-1914) - Grandson
- 38. Charles II (b. 1911, r. 1914-1986)
- 39. Mary IV Eleanor (b. 1936, r. 1986-?)
So... all hail Queen Mary? I guess?
