Old topic. New chart.
Could you do the Morrocan royal Family tree?
I wonder if you could do the European royal families using their personal heraldry, but NOT the British heraldry, except for British royals. Almanach de Saxe Gotha could be a lot of help. Thank you.
Queen Victoria and Prince Albert are first cousins because her mother was the sister of Prince Ernest I. Be nice if you had shown that. But still, great video. How many those monarchs are in the Line of succession of another country?
@@cormacmacsuibhne5796 oh yeah! It shows Albert's tie but it starts with Queen Vicky so we dont see her Mom....Belgian Princess.
Queen Victoria and Christian IX. Wow. Marrying Princesses off to foreign Monarchs sure paid off. Elizabeth and Phillip are actually related TWICE through each of them. You know the tragic Russian Royals have relations to Phillip and Elizabeth BOTH. They used Phillip's DNA for a match when they found their remains! Empress Alexandra was his Great Aunt! And Czar Nicholas was Elizabeth's Cousin twice removed.
And now to the long waited chart of "Victoria - the grandmother of Europe".
In combination with Christian IX, the "Father-in-law of Europe"
(2)
I would love that chart!
@ItzRāyąGóódBöy I think Matt's already done Charlemagne.
@@dorderre Yes! The 2 of them were everyone's ancestors. Philip and Elizabeth were descended from the both of them. They were related TWICE.
Imagine being a non-important royal and you have a wedding and nearly every king and queen from Europe come to your wedding cuz they’re “your relatives”
BADASS!!!!!
Oh my, oh my, hello Lord Nævis. It is my pleasure to meet with the King of Kwangya himself. How are your 4 lovely daughters doing? Katrina Duchess of Ænergy, Gisela Princess of Galore, Winnipeg the Winter Countess, & Nicole Princess of Ning? Although you have no grandchildren at the moment, I wonder if your future grandchildren shall be as beautiful is your own royal daughters.
It happens quite often :p

Short answer: incest
Long answer: this chart
Thanks again, Matt, for your charts!
The usual rule for most of the Royal houses, at least up through the First War, was that royals married other royals.
*George V of the UK loosened up on the rule and allowed marriages to non-royals.
*The members of the German and Russian Imperial families, along with those of the German Grand Duchies, were required to marry those of equal rank. Marrying unequally resulted in loss of succession rights for any children, plus the marriage would be seen as morganatic (the wife did not take the feminine form of the husband's titles).
I don't considered cousins marriage as incest.

@@mikeottawa8158 I'm curious as to why your type looks as it does?
Don't forget that King Felipe VI's mother, Sofía of Greece is the granddaughter of king George I of Greece
Not granddaughter, but great granddaughter. Sofia's father was king Paul (1947-1964), his father was king Constantine 1st (1913-1917 and 1920-1922), and his father again was king George 1st. George 1st's father was king Christian 9th of Denmark.
Isn't his mother also related to queen Victoria. Shes the great great great granddaughter?
Queen Sofia's paternal grandmother Queen Sophie, the wife of King Constantine 1st, was a sister of the last German Emperor Wilhelm 2nd. She was a daughter of "the 99 days emperor" Friederich 3rd and hos wife Empress Victoria, who was a daughter of British Queen Victoria. Also, Queen Sofia's maternal grandmother Victoria Louise was a daugther of Wilhelm 2nd, so here is one step further. This also means, that Queen Sofia's parents King Paul and Queen Friederike were first cousins once removed. King Paul and his mother-in-law Victoria Louise were first cousins.
And first cousin of the duque of Edinburgh
This is an important relation. Why it didn't mentioned? He is just focusing on Queen Elezabeth.
Just a heads-up, I noticed an error in the chart. Queen Victoria's oldest son was King Edward VII, not Edward VIII.
Only human tho
@@Sunsetaren Hey we all screw up. How many thousands of royals does he have in his chart? I'll forgive him one Roman numeral character on one individual person :). Though a discount on the chart itself would be a nice gesture ROFL.
Yeah, noticed that too.
Sound like my grandmother at a family reunion pointing at people telling me “that man over there is you 3rd cousin, the other girl is his stepdaughter
The Danish sneekly taking over europe xD

Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, King Harald V of Norway and Prince Philip are patrilineal members of cadet branches of the Glücksburg dynasty, which in turn is an cadet branch of the Oldenburg Dynasty. So I guess it’s the Danes and the Germans are taking all the Thrones for themself.
But soon the House will change to Monpezat in Denmark. ( or at least I believe so because I haven't heard of any royal laws saying something different)
bloodlines yes, but the Kingdoms can't merge in most cases because some have as prerequisite that the Monarch has to be either Catholic or has to be Anglican or has to be another protestant faith and can't be of two at the same time, thus for example if William's son ( 3rd in UK's line ) married Estelle of Sweden ( 2nd in Sweden's line ), either George would have to abdicate and possibly be spouse of future Sweden's Queen or Estelle abdicate and be spouse of future UK's king; or if they allow them to be rulers of their respective countries, their first born has to abdicate one of the titles as he or she can't have both and their second born would get the other title
Soon French houses will rule five monarchies in Europe : Spain (Bourbon), Luxembourg (Bourbon), Sweden (Bernadotte), Denmark (Monpezat) and Monaco (Polignac) despite France being a republic for more than a century.
Gives them the feeling of Hygge, but they are too Jante to admit it.
Great video Matt. I definitely believe that the Victoria and Albert (Saxe-Coburg) connection needed clarifying. Most people probably wouldn’t have guessed that Albert’s paternal line family rules in two countries.
The King of Norway and the former King of Belgium are first cousin!
So many connections. Forgot to mention that one.
@@UsefulCharts I think him and Philippe are descendants of Frederick VIII through Astrid of Sweden who sadly died on a car accident at age 29 , meaning that with exception of Netherlands................... the other 6 have "red ties" and Netherlands and maybe Spain? are only 2 without Glucksburg lines---checks......................... never mind............................. Queen Sophia of Greece and Denmark ( spouse of Juan Carlos I ) ties Felipe VI to the Glucksburg line ............... .investigates further on the Netherlands line........... through Emma_of_Waldeck_and_Pyrmont wife of William III of the Netherlands, we tie them to the line of Denmark and Sweden so they are also tied to the red line and the Glucksburg line and the Orange-Nassau line is heavily tied to the Prussia line
@@Sunsetaren They would officially be called Philip of Belgium ( philip van belgië, philip de belgique) , which sounds quite common, like Louis de France, or Wilhelm von Deutschland.
@@garfieldt it goes even further tha that because of congo leopold 2 was less powerfull and then they go for the name of belguim because they could lose power but there name will allways be the same as the country
@@seppejosten219 their name change has nothing to do with Leopold 2.

@@megagodsavageredlion9772 what? "constant incest" and where exactly?
Do some research.
It occurred to me a long time ago that WWI was illogical because nearly all of the involved countries were led by cousins. Then I realized that blood was not something that precluded hostility.
Oh, your another one of those that thinks WWI was started due to Wilhelm II. It wasn't. The Balkan wars was the reason it started. Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated, countries declared war other countries declared war. This was due to a friendship agreements that had existed for decades at that point. If someone declares war on a friend that they'd declare war on the country that declared war on their friend. That's how it happened, not some disagreement between cousins or Wilhelm's apparent mummy issues (that caused him to hate the UK) either. The Powder Keg of Europe, assassination of some Austrian guy and his beautiful wife (due to the South Slavs having enough of the Ottomans and the Austrians. They wanted to rule themselves after centuries of being ruled by others who didn't like them), and friendship agreements and allies. That was what caused WWI.
I absolutely love this channel, and it's been so useful and interesting. Thank you for posting this stuff.
You're the man! I've been looking for a chart like this for years!
Queen Elizabeth is related to King Felipe two additional ways through his mother, Queen Sofia. The two Queens are third cousins through Christian IX and third cousins, once removed through Victoria. So Elizabeth is third cousin, once removed and also third cousin, twice removed of King Felipe.
You make everything so easy to understand. I'm officially hooked. Have to binge all your vids now 😊
my gosh this is so interesting. thanks for posting!
Great video! Very interesting. Thanks for the genealogical update. The only improvement I'd make to these types of videos is to add some kind of geographical/political map of the countries you're referring to. If we're going to increase geography education for non-Europeans, we need to constantly show people who are not from Europe... spatially how these countries are related to one another as well as genealogically.
Excellent summary, and very interesting. Definite thumbs-up!
Soon French houses will rule five monarchies in Europe : Spain (Bourbon), Luxembourg (Bourbon), Sweden (Bernadotte), Denmark (Monpezat) and Monaco (Polignac) despite France being a republic for more than a century.
@Quality View They actually brought Marie Antoinette's daughter back to be the Queen. France remembered why they didn't like that though and put an end to that. Something tells me a french monarchy was just not meant to be. Also, the national anthem would be quite awk with a royal monarchy lol.
François Calvaresi the bourbons will also become monarch if France was a monarchy
@@ultimateagent1784 not Bonaparte?
Fun fact: of Orange dynasty from the Netherlands is named after the city of Orange in France
After the French nobility is originally Germanic (franc)

Love how you both did shout outs to eachother.
2 kings, 1 King consort, all named Phillip. Not one of them is spelt the same way.
cormac macsuibhne prince consort not King
@@pedanticradiator1491 I tried looking up king consort on Wikipedia to prove you wrong but the only result was prince consort so you're right.
cormac macsuibhne Well Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh is a prince consort but not The Prince Consort only Queen Victoria’s husband had that title. King Philip II of Spain was King Consort to Mary I of England and Ireland
@@pedanticradiator1491 Although Philip was king of England by right of Marriage not just king Consort.
@@pedanticradiator1491 it was King Philip II of Spain who was married to Mary I of England and Ireland. His father Charles V also ceded the crowns of both Jerusalem and Naples to elevate Philip to Mary’s rank.
I love ur videos!!!!
That was interesting and quite clear when explained. I thought I would get confused. Thanks for that info
I just found this channel and its awesome!!!
I don't know if you are a History Professor or plainly a historian. I had just newly subscribed your channel. I just need you to know that you had made things easy to understand the World of Monarchy through a simple and uncomplicated way of explanation to a non- monarchy citizen. Thanks for the learning.

Your work is legend. You are the hero Gotham deserves.
Hello!! New subscriber here. I found you through the suggested link while watching the shortest reigning monarchs video. I think it's wonderful that you 2 are helping each other with your channels. 🕊️😉
Great video
Absolutely fascinating 👏
Great chart. One error, though. You have Edward the 8th of the UK as Queen Victoria's son, married to Queen Alexandra. That should be Edward the 7th (I'm sure it was a typo!). But it was fascinating to see just how closely many of today's European monarchs are related!
I SEE YOU AND HEAR YOU Ms. Paterson!
Lay the Smackdown on Matt's Candy... you know what lol ;)
I am happy to see that two of my favourite English speaking RUclipsrs know each others' work! Hello from Kuwait!
Radia Alfili your English is good
I tip my proverbial hat.
Your work is superb, I'm enjoying the book, and I plan to buy some charts for the grandkids, other folks and myself. ☺️
Oh Matt, @UsefulCharts I deeply wish you would do a quick and small chart on the Grand Ducal family of Luxembourg 🇱🇺! I know that it is a very small country, and the Grand Ducal family have only been the Sovereign Family of Luxembourg since 1890 when William III of the Netherlands passed away and due to Salic Law, Queen Wilhelmina was unable to ascend to the Luxembourgish Throne and it passed to Adolphe, but the family has a spectacular history.
Such a detailed chart!
There is another connection that you missed or most likely didn't mention. Leopold III married a Princess of Sweden: Her eldest sister is the Mother to the current King of Sweden Harald V.
Philippe Grandmother is a Maternal aunt of King Harald V . Meaning the King of Belgium Philippe is the First cousin once removed of Harald V.
P.s. love your videos keep up the good work
There is actually a closer connection between HM King Philippe of the Belgians and HM Queen Elizabeth II as King Philippe also descends from King Christian IX of Denmark through his eldest son King Frederik VIII of Denmark. Frederik VIII's daughter Princess Ingeborg of Denmark who married Prince Carl of Sweden was the mother of Queen Astrid of the Belgians, who was the grandmother of King Philippe. Therefore, HM King Philippe and HM Queen Elizabeth II are actually third cousins once removed.
Correct me if I’m wrong but by this chart doesn’t this technically make prince Charles both Queen Elizabeth’s third cousin and at the same time her third cousin once removed, While still being her son?
That’s just how it works. If you accept the fact that your parents are distant cousins somehow, you could technically argue that you and your siblings are cousins one generation down from them. Not to mention that all your grandparents are distantly related to each other as well, and great grandparents, and so on. So you’re technically related to your siblings and parents and cousins in thousands of different ways.
The king of Spain is also related to Queen Elizabeth through his mother Queen Sofia of Spain, she’s also a descendant of Queen Victoria and she also comes from the Danish royal family.
Queen Sofia is descendant of two children of king Cristian IX of Denmark : Thyra ( Consort of Hannover) and George I of Greece. Also Queen Sofia is descendant of Victotia Princess Royal firt child of Queen Victoria .
Queen Elizabeth II is descendant of one child of Cristian IX of Dermanrk : Alexandar Queen Consort of UK.
@@miguelaq967 Let's spell this out before people get the wrong idea: George I was the grandfather of Queen Sofia's father (Paul I of Greece) while Thyra was the grandmother of Queen Sofia's mother (Frederica of Greece).
Would love for you to do patron contributors family trees. For those that donate an amount that makes it reasonable. Would be interested to see regular people’s family trees broken down. Hopefully have patrons that have a family knowledge and stories for those in their tree. Could be fun.
Very interesting!
Here's a suggestion: *Who would be emperor of Brazil today?*
Unlike most of the neighboring republics, Brazil became a monarchy under the rule of an Emperor. Lasting only from 1822 to 1889, Brazil had two Emperors: Dom Pedro I and his son Dom Pedro II, who after a coup was sent into exile with his family.
After that, they created the title of "Head of the Imperial House of Brazil" for the apparent heir, but after Dom Pedro II's daughter, Princess Imperial Isabel, died there was even a dispute on who would be emperor of Brazil if the monarchy haven't fall.
There's lots of sources in English and it's the type of story you like, there's disputes and monarchy, and it's a piece of history about the Empire of Brazil that's very interesting and that most people outside Brazil don't know about.

MEGHAN MARKLE she make a great NUT 😁
The kings of Sweden and Norway are some kind of cousins as well, because the Danish King some generations before married the daughter of Karl XV, Lovisa/Louise, making her a great-grandmother of both the present Danish and Norwegian royals.
But that is of course not from the perspective of Elizabeth II.
Louise of Sweden married Fredrik VIII and was the mother of Haakon VII, who because of this was the cousin of Gustav VI Adolf.
To mess it up even more, Louise's daughter Ingeborg married Prince Carl of Sweden, a son of Oscar II, Louise's cousin, they had three daughters, the princess Märta married the future Olav V, and Astrid married the future Belgian king ... So this is a lot messier, Carl XVI Gustav, Margrethe and Harald are also fifth cousins, and both the Swedish king and the Norwegian are some kind of cousins to the Belgian king ... Really curious pn how to draw this!
@@dirgniflesuoh7950 Actually, Oscar II was Louise's uncle and not her cousin. But other than that, you're right. King Harald is the result of three close cousin marriages.
Furienna Oh, thank you, where did I get that from? Anyway, entangled they are ...
Hi Matt, I don't know if anyone else has pointed out that there is a small error on this chart and that is Princess Alexandra the daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark was married to King Edward VII of the United Kingdom and not King Edward VIII.
Edward VIII is the king who abdicated! Love the charts!
I love how this is a comparison of Queen Elisabeth to all others🤣🤣🤣
it was the easiest to tie to all of them, and seemingly Spain Belgium and Netherlands was not tied to the Scandinavian ones but actually are ( easiest to tie were Belgium and Spain through the spouses of the former kings Juan Carlos the first and Albert the 2nd , and Netherlands through the spouse of William the 3rd )
Could you make a family tree on the Cromwell’s in England and see who would currently hold the title of Lord Protector please. This video is brilliant!
Didnt the Cromwell family change their name and go into hiding after the restoration it might not be easy to trace their modern day descendants
Queen Sofia ( King Felipe’s mother) is descendant of two children of king Cristian IX of Denmark : Thyra ( Consort of Hannover) and George I of Greece.
Queen Elizabeth II is descendant of one child of Cristian IX of Dermanrk : Alexandra Queen Consort of UK.
The King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustav, is related to Queen Victoria's son Leopold too, through his mother Princess Sibylla. She is Prince Leopold's granddaughter.
It would be interesting to see a chart that starts with these current monarchs (and perhaps those that were ended, such as Russia and Greece, etc.) and shows their heirs apparent (for example, in the UK from Elizabeth II, to Charles, William and George). It would be interesting because it does seem that the practice of inter-monarchical marriage has long ago ended, but the survival of these monarchs into the future may require it's resumption. Thoughts?
LOL, Lindsay sent me over here. I'm glad I like this kind of stuff.
I suppose the easiest way to remember what a Monarchy is, is that the power / responsibility all sits on One Arch, or Mono Arc. The Person at the top of that arch. That status of that person might be King, Prince, Duke or other.
I spotted a spelling error in King Willem-Alexander's name. It says "Wilem". Love this video (and all your others) though; greetings from Holland.
Queen Victoria of UK: The grandmother of Europe
King Christian IX of Denmark: The father-in-law of Europe
I love Lindsay Holiday's channel!
Very cool! I'm researching my Germanic roots these days. Lots of cousin connections among historical figures there.
Actually, the King of Belgium is descended from Christian IX of Denmark. It goes like this: Christian IX- Frederick VIII- Ingeborg of Denmark- Astrid of Sweden- Albert II of Belgium- Philippe of Belgium. He and Elizabeth II are third cousins once removed.
Same for the King of Spain: Christian IX of Denmark - George I of Greece - Constantine I of Greece - Paul of Greece - Sofía of Greece - Felipe VI of Spain. It doesn't change his relationship status to the other monarchs shown though.
Elizabeth II and Philippe of Belgium are actually 3rd cousins once removed as Philippe is the great-great-grandson of Frederick VIII of Denmark, brother of Edward VII's wife Alexandra. Frederick VIII's daughter Ingeborg married a Swedish Prince named Carl, and their daughter Astrid married Leopold III of Belgium, the grandfather of King Philippe.
Great job. However your Edward VIII should be Edward VII.
True!
I love this chart, and I 100% appreciate the time that was spent into making this chart, but Queen Victoria’s son was Edward VII, not Edward VIII
I remember watching the movie "Young Victoria" and saw how if a few things were different, Victoria would never have become Queen. That would have changed the entire map and dynasties of Europe in monumental ways that were inconceivable in the mid 19th century.
*If her cousin Charlotte had survived, or if George IV had other children.
*OR if Victoria's father, The Duke of Kent, had had a son after Victoria was born.
An interesting "What-if"!
@@gidzmobug2323 I recall that Kent did have ANOTHER younger brother, Ernest Augustus, who did have a son, George of Hanover. I wonder why Victoria was higher up than him. Perhaps because he was already on the throne or heir to the throne of Hanover, but that didn't stop George I.
@@tomservo75 Victoria was the daughter of George III's fourth son. The Duke of Cumberland, who inherited Hanover (because of the Salic Law/male-only succession there) was George III's fifth son.
Oh never mind. Even back then, a female would still take precedence over the son of her father's younger brother. So if Victoria had a younger brother he would have been ahead of her, same if any older sibling had children. But since she was an only child, she still takes precedence over younger uncles' children.
@@tomservo75 Yes. Kent was #4, Cumberland was #5. Cumberland did get Hanover because the Salic Law there prohibited female succession.
*George IV--one daughter, who predeceased him.
*Frederick, Duke of York--no issue
*William IV--2 daughters who died in infancy
*Edward, Duke of Kent- 1 daughter (Victoria)
*Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland--one stillborn daughter and one son (George)
have you ever made a video on possible royal weddings in modern times? I remember watching such a video, but can't find it anymore
You forget that Christian XI's great-granddaughter Astrid married King Leopold III of Belgium
It should also be notice that King Felipe VI of Spain is also related to the late Duke of Edinburgh through Felipe's mother side, Queen Sofia of Greece so King Felipe and Prince Charles are related by both sides.
King Felipe VI is also a descendant of Queen Victoria and King Christian IX through his mother too, Queen Sofia of Spain.
Hi! Maybe they have asked you this several times, but, which program or how do you do this family trees? It inspired me to do one of my own family, and yours look really great!
I noticed a slight mistake, I think the Edward that you mean is the seventh, not the eighth. Love your videos, thanks!
Who would be king of Europe, since all monarchs are related.
Depends on who you think the last king of Europe was. The Roman Emperors? Charlemagne?
The one who sits the Iron Throne.
They can start a war, see who wins.
@@maximhollandnederlandthene7640 they already did that in 1914. Look up a picture of the british, german and russian emperors at that time, they look like bloody clones. It's because all the rulers of these countries were actually all cousins and such.
Didnt stop them from going to war. Who won then? Nobody. Everyone lost. Lets hope these families dont go at it again.
Why not a choice after a reunion of all king in Europe, as we do for the pope
Minor correction: the change in the name of the Belgian royal house happened in 1920, after the war.
Love the videos ... when played at 1.5x.
Could you possibly show how John William Friso is the ancestor of all of these kings and queens?
Princess Maud did not marry the King of Norway - she married Prince Carl of Denmark, who was then elected King Haakon 7. of Norway upon Norway gaining independance from Sweden.
Thanks I didn’t realize they were truly all one big family of thieves this put it in great pictorial form
very ASMR, thanks!
Probably someone already said it: Andorra, which is a Principality, is actually not a monarchy, but a diarchy, because it does not have a Prince, but two Co-Princes.
He probably meant it as there are Royals who rule the country/cities/area.
It’s officially a parliamentary monarchy, but yeah
Funnily enough everyone comes from a German royal house. Either that of Württemberg, Glücksburg or Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
If you haven't already done so, I would love to see a chart on how Prince Philip's family became the royal family of both Greece and Denmark.
When King Otto was kicked out, the Great Powers got together and considered who should be the next King.
Victoria's second son, Alfred, was under consideration, but Victoria would not allow that.
Eventually chosen: Prince Villem of Denmark, who rules as George I. His siblings include: Alexandra (m. Edward VII of the UK), Dagmar (m. Alexander III of Russia), and Frederick VIII of Demark (m. Louise of Sweden).
Katheryne Koelker it wasn’t actually Victoria who wouldn’t allow it it was the British government who had an agreement with France and Russia to not interfere with the Greek monarchy
@@pedanticradiator1491 I will have to go back and re-read the details. I do know that Victoria could put her foot down on something--and did, when she was so minded.
Where is the cousins chart? Hee hee.
Great work
Can u make chart of top 5 writers under various monarchs
Very Interesting
I'm actually from the town Nassau where the house Nassau Oranje originates. In the castle, the family tree is drawn on the wall and always kept updated. The Dutch king even came and visited a while ago
The male line is descending from a line of plundering scoundrels under the bishopric of Muenster. Not knowing how to stop them they illegally (not nobility) were made lowly civil servant counts of Laurenburg. Then it got out of hand...just as it always does with psychopathic criminals on their merry way to POWER & CONTROL..
King Carl XVI Gustav is also a descendent of Queen Victoria through his father and mother.
The queen married her third cousin
This is extraordinary i have not realised how many ties queen Victoria had to other monarchs
King Leopold I of Belgium was also Queen Victoria's maternal uncle.
Is that the scumbag responsable for the Congo's genocide?
RIP Elizabeth II 💔
I almost cried seeing 6:01 till here.
Just to complicate matters, Leopold I of the Belgians was Queen Victoria’s maternal uncle also…. So there’s a double dose of relatedness there…
I’d love a tongue-in-cheek period drama surrounding Victoria’s descendants
I love your videos. I am working on my family tree and trying to work back to a well known ancestor , Patrick Henry. I’m stuck. Any charts that might help me ?
Hi Matt, could you make a video talking about how the smaller monarchs are related to these kingdoms? For example Prince Albert of Monaco is 7th cousins twice removed to Queen Elizabeth II.
S V He is the rightful king of the United Kingdom.
@@alexbohatch3503 how do you work that out?
