Royal Genealogy

This section is a guide to the ten currently reigning European royal families. For each country, a genealogical list provides the titles, names, and marriage, birth & death dates for living and recent members and relatives of the family.

Reign dates for sovereigns are in bold following his or her name. Each list begins with the present sovereign's relevant grandparent. Listed below are those of his or her descendants who it seems appropriate to include.

The numbers before each name indicate order of birth: for example, a person identified as 1.2.3. is the third child of the second child of the first child of the person at the top.

This concise format should make it easy to quickly find information on the most prominent royals. For more comprehensive information of this kind, see Paul Theroff's Online Gotha.
