Royal News
Welcome to my Royal News page. For the purposes of this project, I will keep the traditional definitions of the three sections of the Gotha; i.e., Section I includes families which have enjoyed hereditary sovereign status in Europe and America since the Napoleonic era; Section II includes those families which have been called the Mediatized Houses under the terms of the Congress of Vienna; and Section III includes all houses attaining Ducal or Princely rank which do not qualify for inclusion in Sections I or II.
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you have information
which belongs on these pages, or have corrections to material posted here, please contact me at my new email address:

In addition to the individuals who have contributed and helped in this effort, I would like to acknowledge the help of the whole membership at the Royauté newsgroup, THE place to go for discussion of royal news as well as matters relating to older genealogy and royal matters in general. Many of the sources I have acknowledged above also post regularly there. Among other posters on Royauté I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Lluis Sanz Garcia, who posts news about the Spanish nobility. You can find it here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/royaute2/.
Another great site for royal news is Nobiliana, formerly known as Royals Portal forums, where members post news covering a wide array of royal and noble families. You can find it here: http://www.nobiliana.de
Also, Hein Bruins's original Royal news site, which is still online with his royal news pages and many other wonderful pages of royal genealogical information, can be found here: http://www.angelfire.com/in/heinbruins/News.html
