That's the only reason the monarchies in those places have survived. And Monaco is barely a state; it has survived b/c it's a tax haven for the uber-wealthy sponsored by the monarch. If the 'Prince of Monaco' ever tried to make his tiny city into an actually-functioning 21st century polity, the place would collapse within a week.
@Jacquetta Woodville. Catherine did too much fasting for her own good. Plus, Henry VIII supposedly wasn't supposed to marry Catherine anyway; Henry VII considered marrying his son off to Eleanor of Austria (Catherine's niece who was closer to Hal in age) after Arthur died. But when Henry VII himself died Catherine managed to 'convince' the 17-year-old Henry VIII to marry her instead. We all know how *that* went...
@Jacquetta Woodville. I don't think you can argue 17-year-old Henry was a tyrant. He was amenable to working with others & reconciling with those who disliked his father's regime, & was willing to grant nearly every request asked of him. He was not yet the man he would be. So far as I know, the dowry situation was complicated; Catherine's original dowry wasn't paid out in full by Ferdinand & Isabella (cheapskates), & Henry VII was thus in limbo regarding whether he had any obligation to maintain her as his daughter-in-law or not. Henry VII still favoured marrying Catherine to Henry (he only briefly considered marrying her himself), & thus a new dispensation was created to this effect, but Henry VII changed his mind after Isabella's death. After that, Catherine no longer had any use for his diplomatic ambitions, and thus Henry VII stopped the planned wedding between Catherine & Henry. Eleanor of Austria came with the same connections but was closer to his son's age, which made her slightly preferable. Catherine should have gone home to Spain at this point, but her father Ferdinand refused her passage (he's a dick), leaving her barefoot in England. Then Henry VII dies & Henry VIII *suddenly* decides he wants to marry Catherine. Question is why? You can't tell me Catherine did *nothing* in those years, & this turn of events was certainly in her favour (she goes from spurred fiancé to Queen overnight). I'm inclined to believe she made herself 'favourable' to the young king, given Catherine was several years older than him & certainly smart enough to serve her own interests.
Dutch monarchy dates back to 1815. The Orange-Nassau's held the title ''stadtholder'' (i.e. Magister Militum) in the Dutch states between the 16th century and 1795, and weren't monarchs, even though they played a comparable role. The title of stadtholder became inheritable in 1747.
IIRC this is more-or-less correct. But there were many Stadholderships; one for each Dutch province (Holland, Gelderland, Frisia, etc.). Many branches of the Nassau family (not just the Oranges) held Stadholderships (such as the Nassau-Dillenburgs); the Orange-Nassaus just happened to hold the highest number/most important Stadholderships at any time. And while not a monarchy, there *were* those in Dutch politics (the Orangists) who wished to make the republic more like a typically monarchy, with the Oranges ofc. being in-charge.
@@lianborgiademedici1016 I'm a currently-unemployed English major who just happens to be a total motormouth IRL. That scene with Hermione in Harry Potter is quite correct; we know-it-alls are simply *incapable* of shutting ourselves up (even when that would be the best for all parties involved lol)
Neither she nor her mother *wants* her to be Empress. It's a horrifically cloistered life (Princess Toshi's mother went thru hell-on-earth as the press pressured her to have a male heir. Toshi would experience similar pressure to choose an 'acceptable' husband--an almost impossible task, given her cousin Mako's difficulties). IMO, the dwindling amount of dynastically-acceptable heirs to the Chrysanthemum throne could be taken as a sign that perhaps the whole thing is better off set aside.
TRUST Me she doesn't want it...its highly ceremonial and very rigid role and she won't be free if she become an empress, she will be constantly watched over by people on what she do, what she wear, what she eat, where she goes.....its like being a pet in display.
@@jeandehuit5385 yeh her mother story was heartbreaking, one time the Queen of Malaysia so very sympathize of her situation that she sent a letter to the empress to offer her help on some new treatment because the Queen of Malaysia was also barren for more than 10 years, but after her treatment she got 5 children. But at that time she refused it maybe because she's already getting too old.
You did a phenomenal job on this video. I learned so much! Thank you for all of the hard work and care that you put into these videos. I hope you can one day do a video on the founding pirate queen of Cambodia. That sounds like a very interesting story.
New Zealand has 2 monarchies: Constitutionally the British Sovereign and the Non-constitutional Maori Monarch, Leader of the Kingitanga. The incumbent being the Seventh, holds the Rank of Paramount Chief, the same rank Queen Elizabeth held in the Republic of Fiji.

WE NEED a series or documentary video of the most reigning monarch 72 years in total, Louis XIV of france! I'd love to know his childhood, history, and time being on the throne
There are quite a few in English et en Français (though I can't vouch for their veracity) From what I know, his early reign is considered far and away more successful than his later years (with some remarking that if he had died at some earlier date, he would have unquestionably gone down as France's most successful kings). Alas! His needless antagonism of his rivals (by going to war over the Spanish succession even when several powers such as Britain were willing to support Philip of Anjou's candidacy anyway; by revoking the Edict of Nantes and exile the Huguenots from France & throwing away his grandfather's hard-won gains in religious toleration) did a lot to undermine his reputation, from what I understand.

This is good to know. The monarchy that is in the news most of the time is the British monarchy. I am aware there are other monarchies. I did not know there were this many of them. I did not know the pope was considered a monarch. It is good to get all the facts in order. Lindsay's videos are factual and fun to learn from.

Correct me if im wrong. But the Japanese Teno dont actually translate to Emperor. It is so because he was also worshipped as a god, and there was no word for a king who was also worshipped as a god (other than emperor and pharaoh) because in europe, Christianity won't allow kings to be worshiped likr God.

19:03 umm excuse me Lindsay. Grenada was not in Iberian Penisula it was from the Caribbean so you got a geographic error location there (Grenada was located in Northwest of Trinidad & Tobago & Venezuela & Southwest to Saint Vincent & the Grenadines)
Lindsay, I think when you said "Grenada" at 19:02 you accidentally looked up "Granada" and it gave you the Spanish province instead of the Caribbean island that the Queen was head of state of (now king Charles) just a minor mistake, I really enjoyed the video otherwise
I feel like it’s not correct to say Japan is the oldest, because it’s mythical, not historical. Besides, every country has changed so much through the centuries, that Denmark 1000 years ago would not be the same as today.
Even if you discount the mythical Kojiki-parts, the Japanese monarchy still holds supreme for recorded history. The 1st 'historically verifiable' Emperor, Emperor Kinmei, predates the founder of any other recorded dynasty (European or otherwise) & is the male-line ancestor of the present Imperial family.
@@princekrazie Oh yes! The stories are still entertaining and/or useful, insomuch as they tell us about ancient Japanese court culture. But you're right; as accurate history, Kojiki/Nihongi material (& the subsequent imperial propaganda based on those texts) are not particularly convincing documents!
@@jeandehuit5385 I'm from China, so I used to 100% believe in Ancient Chinese stories... It's reall cringe how I had this mindset of superiority, but now I am super skeptical of history and strictly differentiate between confirmed, unconfirmed, and known lies.
Yep, i remember reading about a building in Japan that was from 6 th century, but apparently it had burned down several times in history and it was actually less than 200 years old, it is very common in Asia to exaggerate how old things are.

Hey Lindsey. Thanks for another great video. Just wanted to point out that the photo of the lady with the Emir of Qatar is a photo of one of his sisters and not that of his wife.
If subnational monarchy considered, Kedah kingdom in Malaysia should be included as one of the oldest unbroken dynasty. Moroccan monarchy have different dynasties, sometimes the area once ruled by Berber or unrelated dynasty of Arab. Also Oman changing its dynasty also. For Thailand, the current monarch is not descendant of Sukhothai, rather they are half Chinese warlord descent that repel Burmese invasion in 1767.
I have to correct you regarding the founder of the kingdom of Morocco. The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) didn’t have a grandson called Idris, his grandsons were Al Hassan and Al Hussain. If you look at Idris’s name you see it says Idris Ibn Abdullah, which means Idris son of Abdullah (in Muslim countries it’s customary to write the person’s first name then father (sometimes grandfather too) then family and or tribal name. Idris was a descendant from the Prophet (pbuh) yes, but several generations later. He was born in 788AD which us 125 on the hijri calendar. So he is further descending than grandson, I would guess more great-great grandson.
But, the origin of all kingdoms, the Ashanti Kingdom, was not mentioned here. So the information here is not complete. All the languages spoken by the kingdoms, had their origins in the Akan language of Ghana Empire of west Africa
Im from America and people look at me crazy when i say there are monarchs and there are a lot of them. Then i prove it and they act like they're offended
Well many of your fellow Americans think there is only the British monarch though they call him the King of England as they don't understand the difference between the UK and England
@pedanticradiator1491 as an American I can totally agree that most of them are dense but they literally mean no harm, well 80% of em would literally give you the shirt off of their back if they saw you in need but they will say some offensive shit along the way, I have citizenship in 3 different countries (USA, Dominican Republic and South Africa) so I'm well educated on international affairs lol and trust me they irritate me all the time with some of the dumb stuff they say

19:03 umm excuse me Lindsay. Grenada was not in Iberian Penisula it was from the Caribbean so you got a geographic error location there (Grenada was located in Northwest of Trinidad & Tobago & Venezuela & Southwest to Saint Vincent & the Grenadines)
You must do a lot of investigation to know all this stuff. Well done, I enjoy your videos!
Nice videos! Been subscribed for a long time!
Lindsay, I think when you said "Grenada" at 19:02 you accidentally looked up "Granada" and it gave you the Spanish province instead of the Caribbean island that the Queen was head of state of (now king Charles) just a minor mistake, I really enjoyed the video otherwise
I feel like it’s not correct to say Japan is the oldest, because it’s mythical, not historical. Besides, every country has changed so much through the centuries, that Denmark 1000 years ago would not be the same as today.
Even if you discount the mythical Kojiki-parts, the Japanese monarchy still holds supreme for recorded history. The 1st 'historically verifiable' Emperor, Emperor Kinmei, predates the founder of any other recorded dynasty (European or otherwise) & is the male-line ancestor of the present Imperial family.
@@jeandehuit5385 You’re right! But I think it is important to distinguish between what is SAHIH (verifiable) and what is just stories.
@@princekrazie Oh yes! The stories are still entertaining and/or useful, insomuch as they tell us about ancient Japanese court culture.
But you're right; as accurate history, Kojiki/Nihongi material (& the subsequent imperial propaganda based on those texts) are not particularly convincing documents!
@@jeandehuit5385 I'm from China, so I used to 100% believe in Ancient Chinese stories... It's reall cringe how I had this mindset of superiority, but now I am super skeptical of history and strictly differentiate between confirmed, unconfirmed, and known lies.
Yep, i remember reading about a building in Japan that was from 6 th century, but apparently it had burned down several times in history and it was actually less than 200 years old, it is very common in Asia to exaggerate how old things are.
I love history and this channel is so great, thank you Lindsay :)
This is my comfort channel
It'd be a cool follow up to do one video about subnational monarchies
Thx a lot for the information. I guess to some, it's a continuation from the Kings listed in Bible.🤷🏽♀️. perfectly presented👌🏾👌🏾More videos please.👏🏽😇 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Hail the emperor respectfully without hurting anyone in doing so yes hail him as a great man and emperor yes yes
Hey Lindsey. Thanks for another great video. Just wanted to point out that the photo of the lady with the Emir of Qatar is a photo of one of his sisters and not that of his wife.
i would like to know more about the bhutan royal family
Fascinating video!!
Well done. A great presentation
Kongratulation in learning all those names! It soundet good and fluid. :-)

@Jacquetta Woodville. Wait was that a compliment?
@Jacquetta Woodville. I'm kinda confused
I applaud your pronunciation of the Tongo royal family. wow, just wow!!
Thr sahara is morroccan
Yay! This was an interesting quick tour..... thanks for providing the lists at the end also tho
Pronunciation alone already earned my like!
If subnational monarchy considered, Kedah kingdom in Malaysia should be included as one of the oldest unbroken dynasty. Moroccan monarchy have different dynasties, sometimes the area once ruled by Berber or unrelated dynasty of Arab. Also Oman changing its dynasty also. For Thailand, the current monarch is not descendant of Sukhothai, rather they are half Chinese warlord descent that repel Burmese invasion in 1767.
I like this one
Bravo Your videos are brilliant!
Can you do video about the Medici family and how they got to the thrown kind of
Fun fact: the monarchs of Jordan, Morocco and Brunei all come from the same family: Banu Al Hassan.
Restore the German,Austria,and Russia Monarchies.
Yes.
I would like Hohenzollern, Habsburg, and Romanov come back to rule the country...especially Romanov.
Princess Leonor of Asturias
Afganistan is also a monarcy now.
Will you do a Second part about the sub national and traditional monarchies ?
I have to correct you regarding the founder of the kingdom of Morocco. The Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) didn’t have a grandson called Idris, his grandsons were Al Hassan and Al Hussain. If you look at Idris’s name you see it says Idris Ibn Abdullah, which means Idris son of Abdullah (in Muslim countries it’s customary to write the person’s first name then father (sometimes grandfather too) then family and or tribal name. Idris was a descendant from the Prophet (pbuh) yes, but several generations later. He was born in 788AD which us 125 on the hijri calendar. So he is further descending than grandson, I would guess more great-great grandson.
But, the origin of all kingdoms, the Ashanti Kingdom, was not mentioned here. So the information here is not complete.
All the languages spoken by the kingdoms, had their origins in the Akan language of Ghana Empire of west Africa
I Hope that France will be a monarchie once again
Your pronunciation for the Brunei part is good. 😊
Im from America and people look at me crazy when i say there are monarchs and there are a lot of them. Then i prove it and they act like they're offended
Well many of your fellow Americans think there is only the British monarch though they call him the King of England as they don't understand the difference between the UK and England
@pedanticradiator1491 as an American I can totally agree that most of them are dense but they literally mean no harm, well 80% of em would literally give you the shirt off of their back if they saw you in need but they will say some offensive shit along the way, I have citizenship in 3 different countries (USA, Dominican Republic and South Africa) so I'm well educated on international affairs lol and trust me they irritate me all the time with some of the dumb stuff they say
Hello! I love your videos and I cannot imagine the amount of work this one took. The only thing is that regading Spain, Alfonso xiii left the contry caused a New republicca was procclaimed and afterwards tiene was a military coup agains the republiccan government. When Franco imposed his dictatorship, Alfonso's son was still alive but Franco thought that he could control easier Alfonso's grandson, future King Juan Carlos, causing great disturbance amongst the family.
Nice please can do programs in sri lanka 👍 🇱🇰
I loved it when this videos are Long. thanks
I hope next video will be about margaret habsburg
You pointed out the wrong Grenada in the map. And Grenada is separate island from St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
