AN ONLINE GOTHA







    Welcome to my Online Gotha. 
    Section I encompasses those families which have held hereditary sovereign status in European states, plus Brazil, since the Napoleonic era. 
    Section II includes two somewhat overlapping groups of houses: those which hold Princely or Ducal rank, and those which have traditionally been considered as "Mediatized" Houses. Traditionally, the term "Mediatized" has been defined as describing those Houses of the former Holy Roman Empire which lost their sovereignty during the Napoleonic era. The most important thing which traditionally distinguished the "Mediatized" houses from other non-sovereign houses is that they have traditionally been considered to have been granted by the Congress of Vienna the status of equal birth with the sovereign houses. Not all houses usually designated as "mediatized" were actually sovereign at the beginning of the Napoleonic era or, for that matter, at any time. Some seem to have fallen into this category by accident or misunderstanding by scholars and historians. Other houses, which have as good historical claims to be considered mediatized as some who are traditionally included, have not even been listed in the Almanach de Gotha or among the Fürstliche Häuser of Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels. (For a discussion of these houses and the definition of "Mediatized", I refer the reader to a shortessay  by William Addams Reitwiesner.) After carefully reviewing the situation and the somewhat arbitrary way in which certain houses came to be designated as "Mediatized", I have decided to dispense with that classification. 
    I have begun a Gotha Supplement. This section will contain a small selection of houses of the upper nobility which do not fit into the criteria of Sections I or II. 
    The advantage of an Online Gotha is that it can be instantly updated and corrected. A printed equivalent becomes obsolete as soon as it is published. Thus I welcome any additions or corrections which any reader may be able to supply, and will update the articles accordingly when I receive them. I am sure I have made some errors, and I am sure that I have missed some new events or have failed to find some old events which should be recorded. Please refer all such corrections and additions to me at my new email address: PTheroff@kc.rr.com. 
    The Online Gotha is envisioned as a "Who's Who" among European royal families, showing who the members are at present and in the recent past. I do not claim to be an expert at the intricacies of various succession disputes, and do not intend the Online Gotha to be any sort of arbiter or judge of who the rightful claimant might be in any particular dispute. 
    Originally I intended to use a format which showed only those members of families who are living today, plus enough of their ancestry to show relationships between closely related branches. This is the format used in Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels and in the original Almanach de Gotha. However, I have decided to include all members of the families in the generations shown. In most families all generations since the beginning of the Nineteenth Century are shown, though in some families the articles do not go back quite so far, and in some they go back considerably further. 
    Within the individual articles I have chosen not to include all illegitimate issue, though I have included some. I have, however, included issue of morganatic marriages. These "morganauts" are generally shown in smaller font than the members not descended from morganatic marriages. In some modern houses it is not easy to determine who should be considered morganatic. I apologize to any persons whom I thus have misdesignated, and welcome further information about current morganatic status of various members of the Houses. I have added descendants of female family members to many of the articles. Generally only the descendants of females of the most recent three or four generations are included. 
    My home page, containing the files on the descendants of King James I of England and of King Henry VII of England, is here. 
   My sources, for the original files and any new additions and corrections, include CEDRE and Gotha Nieuwtjes, several published works including volumes of Europäische StammtafelnAlmanach de Gotha,Genealogisches Handbuch des AdelsGenealogisches Handbuch des in Bayern Immatrikulierten Adels, Koenig's Queen Victoria's Descendants, and works by Jacques Ferrand, Daniel Willis and others, various Usenet Newsgroup postings and magazines, as well as many correspondents who help me with information, especially William Addams Reitwiesner, R. Kenneth Sheets, Don Kuchison, AndrewLoughrey, José Verheecke, Michael Rhodes, Steven Lavallee, Hein Bruins, Stefan HöllrieglDavide Shamà, and Lauren Strauss-Jones. The beautifully executed coats-of-arms displayed on this page were produced by Arnaud Bunel, who graciously authorized me to use them here.

SECTION I. 
  





Special Note regarding Mexico: Over the years several people have suggested that I should add to the Online Gotha the Iturbide family, as the former Imperial family of Mexico. I had not done so for a couple reasons. First, the Online Gotha is meant to cover European royalty and nobility; while it is true that the Imperial family of Brazil is included, the fact is that that family would be included anyway as being parts of the French and Portuguese royal families. Second, I never had a really good genealogy of the Iturbide family. A correspondent has recently sent me a good genealogy of the family, but almost at the same time a new website has been launched regarding the Iturbide family. Instead of adding them to the online Gotha, then, I am adding this link to that website:  Click here for a page on the Iturbide family, the imperial house of Mexico 
  


SECTION II. 
Those houses which have traditionally been designated as Mediatized Houses are marked with an asterisk.
