What’s more British than the British royal family? More Spanish than the Spanish Monarchs? More Norse than the King of Norway? Well, a lot of things actually. In fact, nearly all of the 10 remaining hereditary monarchs of Europe have more German DNA than they do local. For centuries, royals almost exclusively married other, foreign royals. They rarely mixed their blue blood with people native to the Kingdoms they ruled over. What’s more, when dynasties died out (often from excessive inbreeding) foreign royal houses put their own seconds sons on the throne, establishing new, entirely alien dynasties. Modern royal families try to brand themselves as throughly native and in touch with the common people. And if they ever spit into a test tube and sent it off for a DNA test, they would probably never publish the results. But, by looking back at their family trees, we can get a pretty good idea of their heritage. Last week we explore the heritage of the reigning families of Belgium, Denmark Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco and Norway. Today we’ll analyze the DNA of the Dutch, Spanish, Swedish and British royal families. Plus we’ll compare them all to see which modern monarchy has the most local DNA; and find out why the royals of Europe are all so German.
Royal family of The Netherlands - Dutch royal family
Royal family of Spain - Spanish Royal family
Royal family of
Sweden - Swedish royal family
Royal family of The United Kingdom - British Royal family
Why are the royals so German?
Which royal families are the most German?
Which royal families are the most local?

Lots of people of Scandinavian descent in the upper Midwest. I myself am about 1/4 Norwegian and live in Wisconsin. My grandmother was 96% Scandinavian (from Norway) and 4% from the British Isles. Her parents and grandparents were all descended from Norwegian immigrants or immigrants themselves. The 4% British Isles we’ve traced to Vikings.

@thebitchprince 6 месяцев назад

Hello Lindsay, Filipino here. The historical concept of Filipino as a national identity only emerged during the latter half of the 19th century so it is most likely that Letizia's ancestry reference was Spanish Filipino meaning that an insular Spanish born in the Indies and not an indigenous Austronesian Filipino as we know it today.

Yes, one of Letizia's maternal great-grandfathers, specifically the father of her grandma Enriqueta, mother of Paloma Rocasolano, was born in the Philippines back when the islands were part of the Spanish crown. His surname, Rodríguez, indicates that although born in the Philippines he was descendant of a family that came from Spain.

Reyna Letizia's family does not have Filipino blood. One of her great grandparent was born in PH during the Spanish Era. Back then Spanish people who were born in PH were known as Filipinos. Natives were called Indios.

Considering that Germany consisted of a lot of different indipendent small countries, each with their own royal families, Germany had considerably more royal bloodlines than any other country in Europe, so if you are scouting for royal spouses or surplus royals to be put on a throne, Germany was a good place to start. 😂

@laurenceallanbukas8987 5 месяцев назад

The definition of a Filipino in the late 19th century, when Queen Letizia’s ancestors were born, was different from today. Queen Letizia’s grandmother was indeed a Filipino, but it meant that she was a Spanish born in the Philippines. The term Filipino only applied to the native population in the 20th century. Prior to that, our ancestors called themselves what their local ethnicity was - Tagalog, Bisaya, Kapampangan, Ilocano etc

Germanic (not just just German proper) ruled large parts of Europe since the collapse of Rome. Franks in France (from whom the Bourbons descend from), Visigoths in Spain (many Spanish dynasties claimed their origins from them) , Lombards in Italy as well as Norse in Russia. One of the most powerful empires in European history was the Holy Roman Empire led by Charlemagne who was a Germanic Frank from whom descends most modern royals as well as common people in western Europe. Other events such as Anglo Saxon migration and Norman conquests further spread the Germanic DNA, even to the common people. One could confidently say that the Germanic people forged Europe as it is today after the fall of Rome.

@@TheLiebde Scandinavians (both ancient and modern) are also part of the Germanic people. Germanic doesn't just refer to just Germans but includes a variety of closely related peoples which includes the Nordic people. Also the origin of Visigoths isn't very clear even today. Your Norse ancestry maybe associated with them or maybe with the later settled Vikings or maybe even contacts with the Normans. Are you related to nobility? because from the genetic researches I've read Spanish people don't harbor much Germanic ancestry in general. 20% is way above average, you might want to research that further

True, though the percentages that Lindsay is giving would likely be relatively close to what we’d probably see in a DNA test. On paper I’m 25% Norwegian, 25% Croatian, 25% Russian and 25% mix of other European origins (English, Welsh, French, German, and Irish). My actual DNA test says I’m 39% Norwegian, 21% Baltics (Ukraine, Poland and Russia), 18% Eastern Europe (Slovenia & Croatia), 13% England & NW Europe (England, Germany & France), 5% Balkans (Croatia), 4% Welsh/Irish. Based on this, my mom’s genetics were stronger than my dad’s as the Norwegian and Croatian are more than 50%; though it’s possible my paternal grandmother had some Scandinavian decent.

The Russian House of Romanoff was really the German house of Holstein-Gottorp. The last monarch of Russia who had mostly Russian blood was Empress Elizabeth, daughter of Peter I. Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor, had almost no russian blood. It is hard to believe the First World War could have happened, considering how closely related all the monarchies were.

@nirfz 4 месяца назад

I recommend the book "Sleepwalkers" about the topic of WW1's outbreak. It's about the last decades before it and how it got that far. In very short about the last russian emperor he was pushed into that direction by others. And the english monarch basically had to do what the government told him to represent. The british government would have been more likely to stay out of the war (at least initially) if the germans would not have gone through Belgium.* My opinion: the british could have even joined the other side even despite their agreements with the french, if the germans would have waited longer with their belgium march because the french also thought abuot going through Belgium... Belgium-neutrality-violation is what brought the british into the mess mostly.

Well, one of the reasons why the revolution against the Romanov family in early 20th century Russia even happened was because everybody agreed that the russian Tsars were not russian anymore. They married german royals and nobles for so long, that you can say the russian empire of that time was ruled by german.

The reason that most of Europe's remaining monarchs are of strong German blood is because of two famous European monarchs who reigned largely in the 19th century. Those two monarchs were Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and King Christian IX of Denmark. Those two monarchs were of largely German blood. They both had many children who married into other European royal families and in turn produced grandchildren and great grandchildren , etc . Again that is one of the main reasons that many of those remaining monarchs of Europe who are descended from both Queen Victoria and King Christian IX have largely German blood.

In your analysis, you should not distinguish between Austrian and German… Until 1871, Austria was part of the German empire. So it’s would be similar to saying that a person is 25% American and 25% Texan (in other words they are really 50% American).. Likewise 25% German +25% Austrian is essentially 50% German. This is why, in discussion of classical composers, Austrian and German composers are categorized as Germanic or Austro-Germanic.

Great video, thanks! It's a lot of fun to look at History from different angles. There is a caveat with the Spanish Borbon Dynasty blood proportions. It's believed that King Consort Francisco de Asis was not the father of any of Queen Isabel II's children, since he had a congenital disease and also was famously homosexual. The most likely father of Alfonso XII seems to be a military aristocrat from Valencia, Captain of the Guard and Queen's lover at the time, Enrique Puigmoltó. I'd say that would result of an extra percentage of Spanish blood to current Heir, Princess Leonor. It's mentioned in Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_II_of_Spain

Hello, Lindsay! Greetings from Spain. Let me share some information about the Spanish heritage that has not been considered. Queen Isabella II was forced to marry her cousin Prince Francis of Asis because of political reasons. Her new husband was homosexual and the queen had a lot of lovers during her life. The Duke of Cadiz always recognized Isabella's children as his own in exchange for financial compensation. The child who was to become Alfonso XII was more than likely the result of Isabel's relationship with her young lover, the Valencian engineering officer Enrique Puigmoltó. Therefore, King Alfonso XII was 50% Spanish and this fact totally affects the heritage of his descendants.

War of the Roses in a nutshell: A weak King Henry VI of house Lancaster married an ambitious wife, Margaret of Anjou. As Henry lost more and more ground to the French (he was, at least on paper, King of France through Charles VI), courtly politics turned toward Henry's cousin Richard, Duke of York as a better choice to rule. The civil war between houses Lancaster and York for right to rule ended after 32 years and the end of house Lancaster in the male line in 1471 and the house of York in the male line in 1485. House Tudor became the leader of the Lancaster remnants because Henry VII (Tudor) being a descendant of King Edward III (Plantagenet) and the son of a half-brother of King Henry VI (Lancaster). Henry VII (Tudor) married Elizabeth of York and essentially merged the Lancaster and York claims to the throne under the new Royal House of Tudor. The reason it was called the War of the Roses is because both house Lancaster and York used a Rose as a heraldic badge. York used a White Rose while Lancaster a Red. At the ascension of House Tudor, they used a red and white rose to signify the merging of the two claims.

@@mgeez6147 William and Mary of Orange were about 200 years later. William III, Prince of Orange was the son of William II, Prince of Orange and Mary, Princess Royal, the daughter of King Charles I of England/Scotland/Wales. King James II of England and VII of Scotland was a Catholic, and tried to rule as a Catholic King in a country that had mostly converted to Protestant faith. He was a bit bloodthirsty and was literally 'tossed' from the throne which was offered to William & Mary of Orange since they were the nephew and daughter of James II, but both raised in Protestant faiths (Mary Anglican). Just to make things even more confusing, William III's mother Mary was the sister of Charles II and James II. Then he married another Mary, this one the daughter of James II. So yeah, first cousins. Then just to make it even more baffling, William & Mary of Orange had no children to succeed them so Anne, daughter of James II and sister to Mary of Orange inherited the throne. Anne was the last monarch of House Stuart, as she had no issue. Through the convoluted 'no Catholics allowed' rules of Succession, George I of Hanover, inherited the throne being the senior Protestant descendant of James I. George got to deal with the Jacobite rebellion, which tried to put the Catholic song of James II on the throne.
