Re Three Families:
One has to consider the Windsors.
The House of Windsor came into being in 1917, when the name was adopted as the British Royal Family’s official name by a proclamation of King George V, replacing the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. It remains the family name of the current Royal Family.
In 1901, the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (a branch of the House of Wettin) succeeded the House of Hanover to the British monarchy with the accession of King Edward VII, son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
The House of Wettin is a dynasty of German counts, dukes, prince-electors and kings that once ruled territories in the present-day German states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The dynasty is one of the oldest in Europe, and its origins can be traced back to the town of Wettin, Saxony-Anhalt. The Wettins gradually rose to power within the Holy Roman Empire. Members of the family became the rulers of several medieval states, starting with the Saxon Eastern March in 1030. Other states they gained were Meissen in 1089, Thuringia in 1263, and Saxony in 1423. These areas cover large parts of Central Germany as a cultural area of Germany.
Jack PoS reported yesterday but I’ve not seen elsewhere - POTUS told Senate Republicans yesterday that 3 of his children were unmasked on Inaugural day 2017. This gets to what Devin Nunes previously reported that the unmaskings did NOT have anything to do with “Russia”
45 says 1917 just about everyday.
I didn’t realize how far back the family roots of the Windsors went. Thanks for that info. I agree that they are a strong candidate for being one of the top 3 families.
