What very conveniently goes unmentioned by "experts" in European Lineage is the fact that all Royal Bloodlines in Europe descend from *T2 and H mitochondrial and Y-DNA*. All of them-- through proximity of blood or from unbroken male or female lines in which the DNA has never changed. Can you do more to put this in the public domain since you decided to contradict me on whether George Washington produced heirs in the British West Indies?

@@CaraTheStrange Yes i can understand it. ...well to some degree. It's more like i can figure out what the question is to be honest. You write ' I heard that Dutch and Afrikaans are closely related to each other, can i understand this?' But that isn't so strange after all Afrikaans was introduced on 6 april 1652 when Dutch settlers founded the Dutch cape colony. Since then it has evolved but like 90% is still simular spoken out it's even harder to understand for us. But let me reverse the sentence in modern day Dutch 'Ik heb gehoord dat Nederlands and Afrikaans aan elkaar verwant zijn, kan je dit verstaan?' Then you will notice more then 370 years seperate the languages. Afrikaans is old Dutch that has evolved over 370 years in a different country. FYI Holland is just a part of the Netherlands. It indeed has 2 provences called North and South Holland but there are 10 other provinces as well. Since the seat of government and the capital are located in the North and South Holland procences, foreigners think it's called Holland. But Dutch is spoken in all provences and the whole country is called The Netherlands.

Interesting fact that wasn't mentioned: in 1983 the Dutch changed the succession rules to absolute primogeniture, so that Willem-Alexander's daughter are still first in line, even if they somehow get a younger brother. Netherlands was the second European monarchy to establish absolute primogeniture, after Sweden in 1980.

Fun Fact: Adolph, the successor of William III. in Luxemburg, was originally the Duke of Nassau. However, his Duchy was conquered and annexed by Prussia as a result of the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, so he lived as a private nobleman for almost 30 years until he inherited the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg in 1890.

Parts of Brazil were held by the Dutch and the Portuguese. The Portuguese city of Recife was captured by the Dutch. There were a number of Marranos/Conversos living there. They were Jews who were forcibly converted to Christianity and who were living Jewish lives in secret. Under the tolerant Dutch the Marranos threw off their false Christianity and started living openly as Jews. The Portuguese recaptured the city and the Inquisition was coming to try the Jews as Heretics. The Jews escaped the city by boat in 1653 and sailed to New Amsterdam appealing for asylum. Governor General Peter Stuyvesant refused them entry since they did not have the means to support themselves. The Jews appealed the decision to the Dutch West India Company. A number of Jewish stockholders offered to support the group and they were allowed to land. They became the first Jews to settle in what became New York in 1664 when the English took New Amsterdam from the Dutch.

Princess Irene was not removed from the line of succession for marrying a Catholic (although it probably contributed), but for marrying a pretender to the Spanish throne who as head of the Carlist faction was at that time actively trying to get Franco to name him as future king. The Dutch Government had no wish to get involved in the restoration of the Spanish monarchy or in the ongoing dispute between the competing factions of the exiled Spanish royals over succession rights. No attempt was made to get permission from the Dutch Parliament for the marriage, thus Irene lost her right to the Dutch throne. At Carlos Hugo's side she lobbied for Carlist succession in Spain throughout the 60s and 70s. In the end Carlos Hugo never did become king of Spain, as Franco chose Juan Carlos for his successor.

​@@TMK411 He's talking about the widely known fact that England doesn't consider any history that's pre William the Conqueror to be canon. Not Echbert, Alfred, nor any of the Kings during the time of the 7 kingdoms, like Offa of Mercia who was actually recognized by Charlemagne. Your country's weird for doing that, ngl. There's a tale in Scotland about an Egyptian Princess named Scotia, who fled Egypt, went to Scotland, married Goídal Glas, and is the ancestor to the kings of the Picts, and the High Kings of Ireland. It's theorized that Princess Scotia was actually Meritaten, sister of Tutankhamen, daughter of Akhenaten, and fled after the Amarna heresy instead of dying. When they found King Tut and checked his genome, they found that his genes matched current day Brits at 70%, mainland Europeans at 50%, and modern day Arab-Egyptians less than 1%. Seems like your country wants to keep that a secret for some reason.

Though functionally similar to a Governor, the title Stadhouder lies closer in meaning to the English word "Steward", as in the _Stewards_ of Gondor ruling the nation after Eärnur disappeared. William, as stadhouder, answered to Margareta of Parma, who ruled the low countries as a whole as governor in Philips' name.

@@Gameflyer001In The Hague in 1672, people were not really poor though, the reason that Johan de Witt (and, incidentally, his brother Cornelis) were lynched was that France, Münster, and England had collectively declared war on the Netherlands. De Witt did not believe that the Republic could win this war, and pursued appeasement. William V, the Prince of Orange (but not Stadtholder at that time) believed differently, and also saw a chance to seize power. His loyalists managed to rile up the people against De Witt, and violence and murder ensued. The phrase "Eat the Rich", supposedly, originated during the French Revolution, and are believed to have first been used by the philosopher Rousseaux ("if the poor have nothing to eat anymore, they will eat the rich")

I've always loved how all the European Royal families are connected. Use it quite often in my lectures on genetics to due to the occurance of hemophilia in the pedigree. It used to be known as the 'Royal Disease' and the actual mutation causing the disease was only discovered when the bones of the Romanovs were discovered and analyzed with Alexei being a known case of the disease and his sisters being potential carriers of the disease. Back to the Dutch side of the family. I love that we as a nation have had a strained relationship with Germany in the past for obvious reasons, yet our entire royal family is filled with people from Germany and German descent. Also the controversial spouses of our Monarchs is a bit of theme isn't it. Yet I'm pretty sure that Maxima is more popular amongst the public than Willem Alexander is. The controversy was more political than amongst the people I think.

A little point about the link between the colour and the title Orange: The principality never used the colour, its coat of arms is a blue-white horn on a field of yellow. This is still found on the personal coats of arms of all members of the family. The name is probably after a local Gaul God. The colour orange/oranje is named after the fruit which is named after the Sanskrit Naranga, orange tree. The fact they are homophones is pure accidental and only noticed during the 80 years war.

There is an error in the left chart; Wilhelmine of Prussia was not married to William I but to William V She was the centre piece of a very famous uprising, the capture of Wilhelmine at Bonrepas/Goejanverwellesluis 1787 by rebels. This incident led to a punishment campaign by Wilhelmine brother the king of Prussia to Holland. To celebrate this victory he built the Brandenburger Tower in Berlin.

The 30 year war was a larger scale war on the european continent between the catholic habsburgs (holy roman empire/spanish) and the protestants (bohemia/danish/swedish (and for geo-political reasons the catholic french)). The dutch republic was in league with the protestants. Both the 30 year war and the 80 year war ended in oktober of 1648, with the treaty of Münster and the treaty of Osnabrück. The independence of the Dutch Republic was part of the treaty of Münster. The Dutch Revolt/80 year war revolutionized warfare at the time, and the swedish empire employed a lot of the military doctrines that were first used by the dutch republic.

I don't agree, actually and really mean the same thing, so does reality and actuality (also common terms in television for example both used interchangeably to differentiate with fictional works). "Actually" happens to be the current popular term to start a corrective comment, like 'verily' used to be, but in effect it means nothing different. What it boils down to is that a country exists by concept of claimed territory, thus is you remove the claim the territory is legally no longer part of said country, which is what took place in '43. If a plot of land is made extra-territorial in that way, it isn't part of the country by definition, in reality, actuality and judicially. Maybe not by popular opinion, but that's a different matter.

What you should have mentioned is that The William I-III line wasn't the only stadholder. Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe had a seperate line, the one that Johan Willem Friso belonged to. The palace of this line, Nassau-Dietz, is still located in the heart of Leeuwarden. Johan Willem Friso is known as 'Us Heit' (our father) as he was a good stadtholder, and likewise his wife, Maria-Louise of Kassel was known as 'Marijke Meu' - Aunt Maria. It can thus be said that 'the Frisian Nassaus saved the house of Orange'

It's typically a Hollandic view to talk about "stadhouder-less" times, as that was a problem Holland had with its branch of the house of Orange. Nassau-Dietz, after the French unpleasantness, became the monarchs of The Netherlands.

This lead to his introduction as: Iek bin Konijn of Olland, which is butchered pronounced dutch for "I am king of Holland". His litteral setence meant " I am the Rabbit of Holland.

Princess Irene is not in the line of succession because she married without the approval of Parliament. It had nothing to do with marrying a Catholic. The Netherlands doesn't have the outdated rules that some other monarchies have.

She didn't get permission because her husband was aiming for the Spanish throne (which he never got), so if the marriage was approved Irene's children could potentially inherit the thrones of both the Netherlands and Spain and that was considered undesirable.

Main obstacle was she married the Carlist claiment to the Spanish throne at the time Franco still ruled Spain and the Bourbon claim of Juan Carlos was not solified yet.

You require the approval of Parliament to marry ... and that's not an outdated rule?!!! 🙄 As for why the Parliament did not approve: Are you sure her husband's religion played absolutely no role in the minds of the members of Parliament? I don't think so.

Hello Mr. Baker! Nice work! I have a quick note on pronunciation. Any “e” at the end of a German word is pronounced as a schwa so Saxe is “sacks a” Hesse is “hess a”.

One small detail, the Dutch Revolt was the 80-years war. The 30-years war is not related to the Netherlands.

Was going through the patrilinear male line ancestry of King Charles III, found out his patrilineal great grand parents and above generations were King of Greece and Denmark and the more above generations I went some German and Prussian royalty came into the scene. Would be good if you cover this topic as other kingdom's of the world follow the male line patrilineal system and another new idea, you can make a video on who would have been the the King of UK and Northern Ireland and other commonwealth realms if they had followed this system as well that is strictly male line patrilineal like the Japanese royal family.

Why is there a dotted line between the princes of Nassau-Dietz, and also between Jean, Henri and Guillaume of Luxenburg? Do the full lines not represent legitimate patrilineal lines anymore, like in the old chart?
@UsefulCharts
@UsefulCharts Жыл бұрын
Dotted lines represent cognatic lines, which include both males and females. In the earlier example, those individuals did also belong to a strict male-line as well but it links back to the main family before William the silent.

In The Netherlands, we call the 'Dutch revolt' the 'Eighty Years War'. Which makes more sense to use because at the point of the Eighty Years War, there was no such thing as a Dutch identity. Alteast not how it exists today.
