All 10 of the European hereditary monarchs alive today can trace their ancestry back to a single royal couple, Johan Willem Friso, Prince of Orange and Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel. Let's meet this prolific pair and 76 of their descendent who went on to sit on the thrones of The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Luxembourg, Spain, The UK, Belgium, Monaco and Liechtenstein. And we’ll take a fascinating journey through the last 300 years of European history.
I make mini documentaries about women's history and royal history:

Hiii, i love your channel 😍and
I’ve been playing this for a few months.
@History Tea Time with Lindsay Holiday hi Lindsay! Been a subscriber for years now! Could you please do a video on the Dollar Princesses/ Husband Hunters? There is only one detailed video about them on UA-cam that I could find. While it was very interesting, it was extremely hard to understand what the narrator was saying. It’s in English, it’s just that the narrator is putting on some kind of voice, I believe. Very low and breathy. I would be absolutely ecstatic if you would make your own Dollar Princesses video! I so much want to learn about them. You teach me so much and entertain me at the same time. You would make a great Dollar Princesses video, OF COURSE! 😆 hope you will consider this! Thank you!
Actually, King George II of Great Britain is the most recent royal ancestor of all the monarchs that ever existed even now, since George II was a king and Johan Friso wasn't

As a Norwegian I find it super cute that we picked someone to be our king and he was like "wait are you sure" and refused to take the throne until we got to vote on it. As a country that had not be independent for well over 500 years I think that it was very important for us to choose and I respect Haakon VII for letting us do that. Him and Maud really did their best to fit in, including going skiing in 1906, which was photographed and instantly made them feel like our own. Add to that his fierce resistance during WW2 and it is easy to see why he is so beloved.
Yeah. We have all these cute stories about them too. Like the little picture book depicting their first winter here. And have you heard the one about the laundress who discovered that she was secretly actually ironing the royal families clothes? It’s silly but sweet.
That was an interesting response!

I love your videos! During my undergrad years, I hastily registered for a European history course without reading the full course description. I had a severe case of senioritis and was confident that I registered for the right courses without my advisors assistance. Wrong. Since I arrived early on the first day of class, I found a comfortable seat and spent some time catching up on whatever series I was watching at the time. Once everyone else had arrived (i.e., remaining students and the professor), I suddenly realized that I was THE ONLY male in the room. I definitely thought it was odd, but did not give it much thought. A short while later, the professor starts to review the syllabus with us and she read out the full course description - "Topics in European History: Premodern Women". Inadvertently registering for a history course focused on medieval women turned out to be an excellent choice! If you haven't heard of medieval Brewsters, I would highly recommend researching their contributions to medieval Europe. I'll give you a hint - they were women!😄
I guess you had quite a few dates at that time ;-)
Cute story with knowlege learned well done lad
If you’re ever trying to decide between two love interests, “Pick the most comfortable of two chairs” is probably pretty good advice.
Depends upon how you are going to sit on that chair
@@kathleenscheidt7339 you could sit on both before deciding which one is more comfortable!
During a Religious Education class, my teacher said chosing a marriage partner is like finding a coat to wear for the rest of your life, fit for all weathers and fashions.
I’d never take love advice from anyone okay with incest.
@@kathleenscheidt7339 does Biden's lap count as a chair?
I always find it interesting that people who were so adamant about keeping things in the family and knowing their history are the very same people who made sure so many other countries and cultures were stripped of this same ability.
I've thought the same thing too.
My parents were like that and I try to not pass that mentality on except for hygiene matters.
That's just the universal human nature. We all tend to have huge blind spots in our values when it's convenient to our self-interest.
They didn't really love their families it was all about money if they really love their families they would make the world a better place for them to be in it is really a manipulative thing telling the children to stay close so that they could be manipulated because they're too young to know any better

The transition to the ad is so smooth and it just feels like it's part of the story she's telling. I love it
“Hey, my favorite cousin George! Welcome to the afterlife!”
“Second, third, fourth, or fifth once removed?”
A lot of people are distantly ascended from royalty. If you're family is originally from a European country and you trace it back you'll probably at some point reach a member of a royal family. I traced mine back through my dad's family going all the way back through the male line (because that's the easiest) and found that Edward III was something like my 21 times great grandad and we're just a random working class family from north east England. I know others who also have traced their family lines back to some part of the royal family one way or another.
It shows you how few people actually populated the planet back then compared to today I think. My genealogy says I’m related to Ragnar Lothbrook and Rollo and I only found that out by tracing my unique 1st name. Then I came to the conclusion that there must be tens of thousands of descendants. Curious of the math on that, maybe it’s even more.
Yes my Great grandfather x21 Robert the Bruce
I am Estonian so i doubt that i am related to royalty
When William, prince of Orange died, the throne of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland went to his wife’s sister queen Anne, before she created the basis for the succession laws used today, and then her cousin George 1st was chosen as the next monarch, as he was the most senior Protestant in the family.
Well, Queen Anne didn’t create the succession laws, Parliament did. But, other than that, you’re right.
This is the other side of their line. This is Prince Albert’s line. The side you speak of is Queen Victoria’s line.
@@kate_cooper true, good clarification.
@@sophiarose7610 Queen Victoria is a descendant of George 1st of Great Britain. My point was that in the beginning of the video, it seems like the throne went right from William 3rd to George 1st, but Queen Anne did some important things inbetween.
@@benedictewrstad8379 WE KNOW! But if you paid attention, these is following Prince Albert’s family tree!!!! That’s why she skipped Queen Anne. It’s not about the BRITISH Royal Family until Albert and Victoria marry. Maybe wait for part 2?
20:10 : "you must marry a princess, my son"
-"i'll marry this woman, or i'll end your bloodline"
well _that_ escalated quickly.
You must remember that the norwegian monarchy was very vulnerable. Harald's two sisters, Ragnhild and Astrid had already married and for many many years, the monarchy was only king Olav and his son prince Harald. And was Harald not allowed to marry Sonja, the monarchy would die out. And history repeats itself. King Harald faced a similar dilemma when his son Haakon Magnus wished to marry, no only a commoner, but a single mother.
Perhaps it has gone just a bit too far. Anyway, I will leave it to the norwegians to decide whether they want a monarchy or not.
Lol true
Might be a bluff. Still worked though

I love how strange the Norwegian King was when it came to marry Sonia. He even threatened to end the Norwegian crown!! He must really love her.
It's like disney 😍
Right
Get you a man who loves you so much, he would literally rather end his lineage than not be yours.
I mean his own grand parents had a famously odd marriage. The theory is that old King Olav was the royal doctors son and not King Haakon’s. Couple that with being a kid during WWII and being forced to flee the country and therefor growing up patly in America, and the fact that King Haakon was selected by the people’s representatives to be King in the first place (and that Haakon nevr forgot this fact), defenetly would have made him more close to the people than most and also valuing real family. It makes just totall logical sense why he chose to mary the woman he loved and who he felt he could have a real family with.
SIde note King Haakon didn’t refuse to abdicate during WWII. That’s entierly wrong What he refused was to agree to the terms of the German. He was the king, not the government and so felt that he simply could not make that desicion for the people. His solution was actually to announce that because he was morally opposed to the Nazis he would be forced to abdicate if the government made piece with the invading force, but that it was all their own democratic decision as to what to actually do. This was followed by the government declariring that they would in fact not surrender, and all of them going to Britain to govern from there. I felt tlike this part is very important to understanding the character of the Norwegian royal family. It’s kinda a familly tradition to threated to end the royal line at this point.
Can’t help but notice how many royals simply left their countries when bullied by Germany…. Left the common people to deal with them. And why was everyone so afraid of Germany when they had the numbers against them??
One mistake worth pointing out, after William III’s death in 1702 England passed to his wife Mary II’s sister Anne, who became Anne I. This is important because she oversaw the act of union in 1707 when Scotland and England united to become Great Britain, it was on her death in 1714 that the throne passed to George I.
She was just queen Anne, as there was no other monarch called Anne

once upon a time, when i was still a history student, i decided to, instead of making a bunch of different geneological trees for all of the royal families we'd learned about, i wanted to incorporate as much of them as possible, into one. so if someone married someone whos related to another royal family, id incorporate that entire tree into it as well. to my surprise, i didnt end up with just a single tree, because apparently back in the early modern era they werent all connected yet, but i was able to incorporate most of them into one.
go through the mothers and you can end up on a single woman

When the nazis demanded that the danish jews west the Star of David , the king rode out on his daily routine he was wearing a Star of David. He said ‘ all Danes are danish people’ ( or words to that effect.). Brave and patriotic man 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
If they thought royalty was dumb then I love that

The Russian Orthodox church built in memory of the Russian wife who died in childbirth is in Wiesbaden. When I saw it I immediately thought it must be the one. It’s my hometown and while we don’t really know the Princess’s name we all grow up with the story of how it was built as a symbol of the ruler’s love for his Russian wife. The place is really lovely, nestled on the city’s small mountain amongst a forest.
It was a very cool tribute to her.
Thats sweet😁

@@micheldekam3491almost as if most presidents or monarchs or whatever haven’t been males oh wait……
@@micheldekam3491really? MISOGYNY/SEXISM existed since ages we already know
I like how the Norwegians tend to retire & let their children take power. It helps to keep the country stable after their royals die, since the children have already been in power for years by then. Very smart move. I think it also helps by keeping the royals in their prime ages vs having very old aged royals who may be out of touch with current times. Like Queen Elizabeth is very old (95yo) so her oldest son is also very old (73yo) & her grandson (39yo) is already a father & balding. By the time her great grand son (8yo) is finally crowned king he will most likely be quite old after having had to wait for all the others to have died first. My opinion is that Prince William is the one of prime age to be a ruler now & when Prince George is in his Prime age of 30 or 40ish he should pass the crown & so on. 🤔

At the Ten minute mark, this documentary says that the Royal Family fled to the UK during the war. This was only partially true. They left for Canada where Beatrix attended public school at the nearby Lake of Bays Ontario. Living Mostly at Stornaway in Ottawa her younger sister Margriet was born. When the Royals finally visited Canada late in the 1980's I had the fine privilege of being a photographer within the tour. We flew on the very first Airbus in Canada with Max Ward the owner of MaxAir. I made the innocent mistake of photographing this early plane on the tarmac of Gagetown, a military base. Unknown to me behind me were a fleet of recently purchased F-18 fighters. I was quickly surrounded and escorted back on the plane by the RCMP. Queen Beatrix is a kind person and a gracious woman.

As a danish historian specializing in 20th century I have to say that Christian X did not personally fund the danish Jews fleeing to Sweden, that’s a myth. He did cause quite a bit controversies in his reign. And did in fact offend Hitler by replying in a rejective manner to a telegram from the Führer who congratulated the king on his birthday.. This episode is known as “telegramkrisen” which translated means “the telegram crisis” Great video 😊
WOW! This was so fun to watch. I had no idea so many monarchs have abdicated or “retired.” Queen Elizabeth seems the exception to the trend and just keeps going strong!
Actually, with modern extended lifespans, we will likely see kings and queens being crowned much later in life than earlier - some may even die before that happens. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this.

I’m so fascinated by these family trees . I am only able to go as far as my great grandma born 1926 🥴🥴
One of the kings/queens: damn I hate my family, especially my distant cousins
The rest of them: hold up what cousin now?
A nice (and slightly uncomplete) work (although the names often got pronounced... wrong 🥴).
In Sweden, for 200 years, the royals are from the house of Bernadotte.
In 1810 the French officer Jean Baptiste Bernadotte accepted to be adopted by King Karl XIII who had no heir.
In 1818 he got crowned Karl XIV Johan of Sweden and Norway.
The modern European royals are mostly relatives through Queen Victoria (1837-1901).
Well being ruled by women for generations seems to have done the Netherlands some good. Other nations take note!
IK, counting Emma's Regency we have an equal number of male and female rulers, with the next in line being a girl again, Princess Amalia.
I believe Denmark actually changed their law, so now the firstborn always inherit the throne, regardless of gender.
But there are both good and bad male and female rulers over the course of history. It is not so much the gender, but the times and the personality of the ruler.
A King or Queen doesn't rule a country alone at all, even in Monarchies there's a power structure and many levels of administration from the top to the local government, so much so that in some cases a Monarch can be ousted, and I bet that almost all this power structure in european countries was controlled in the majority by men, including the military and religions institutions. So calm down your feminist fantasies. For every good woman leader that was Queen there's probably 2 or 3 other male Kings who were just as relevant, but maybe are not remembered as much because their era was not as interesting as others.

the pope is also royal, and given that francis is from argentina, he most certainly has spanish and italian blood, meaning that a connection can be made, though itd probably be super far back maybe during the time of the roman empire
A minute into this video and I am already so excited. Genealogy is of great interest to me and I love tracing all the royal roots. And this is a 2-part series!! Oh Lindsay, how you have made my evening! 💃🏽💃🏽
There's noi such thing as royal roots
They all REALLY are related. So interesting! Thanks for posting.
I really love watching your video. My love for history is well fed by your amazing videos plus you make history more interesting! I hope you'll make videos about Spanish Royalties too
There are some amazing and inspiring women in this family tree that I've never heard of! Thank you for sharing :D
You should really start a podcast for this, this is awesome!
How different things would have been if the UK Royals would actually save them after Nikolai was deposed maybe Anastasia would have been a queen
yeah the Russians would have loved a return of the Monarchy wiht a female monarch
That was intense 🤣 But Lindsay makes it easier to understand! 😍
Great work ❤
Los 7 monarcas europeos actuales descienden de la reina Victoria del Reino Unido y el rey Cristián IX de Dinamarca: el rey Felipe de Bélgica, rey Felipe VI de España, rey Carlos III del Reino Unido, la reina Margarita II de Dinamarca, rey Harald V de Noruega, rey Carlos XVI Gustavo de Suecia y el gran duque Enrique de Luxemburgo.
I love how she says Friesland and Groningen😊❤❤ it sounded very dutch. Johan Friso was also the name of Willem Alexanders brother. But he died a few years ago by an avalanche😢😢
It was an avalanche
@@graphiteandglitter thats what I say
@@tammieveentjes7281 yes but you used the Dutch word in a comment written in English😀
@@graphiteandglitter ooh now I see it. Thank you🤣🤣 that was a little mistake🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@tammieveentjes7281 😁😁👍🏾👍🏾
Please make videos on Queen Rajiya Sultan of Delhi sultanate and Rani lakshmi bai Queen of Jhansi . I'm sure that every one would love to know their amazing stories .
Can't believe, I just dived into 300 years of history in all europe
All royal families practiced intermarrying, including the Egyptians. Why are the Europeans the only ones ever discussed when this topic comes up?
I'm so excited about these videos. You always do a splendid presentation. Thank you for keeping history interesting...
A most excellent video. Thank you.
I'm glad to see that after a while, monarchies allowed women to inherit the throne. I think the people only have so much tolerance for succession crises and a foreign man coming in to rule when there were plenty of daughters to rule.
Basically every sentence: Marriage
Who else is just watching these videos about the royal family after the queens death
Me
So much info!!....Seems like I'm trying to complete the whole syllabus in the night before the exam.
"When you reduce a family tree to a family bush, you just can't hide as much beneath it." said a Centauri alien official.
Talk about a close family.
Danish king and Queen Victoria also were royal grandparents of Europe, even related to tsar Nicholas II, wife and children
Why is literally every other comment about her saying 1912 instead of 2012. We get it. Get over yourselves
Were you aware that she said someone was born in 1912 rather than 2012? 🙄
Completely agree. After the first couple of comments, just like them. No need to add to the “conversation”.
Can't wait for part 2
Hey Lindsey great history videos as always I was wondering if you can do videos about the past kings of Israel because I am reading my Bible and it is interesting.
useful charts might be helpful
@@Fifi-ql3zc I know I watch usefulcharts I was wondering if Lindsey could explain it in more detail like outside of the Bible
Kings of a country that doesn't exist 💀
@@neongreyworld2 I love how you say that with so much confidence as if Israel isn’t an actual modern day country ☠️
@@neongreyworld2 Why do you think Israel doesn't exist? Are you Palestinian?😅😅

Gustav the5th was also a wonderful person for helping the Jewish people in Denmark seek asylum in Sweden and for opposing the holocaust and the Nazi persecution of Jewish people. This shows that he considered all of his subjects regardless of their religious beliefs as fellow citizens and treated them equally no matter what. He stood up against the holocaust and helped Jewish people escape the holocaust when other leaders such as FDR did not often help them and let them die. He was one of the few leaders who helped Jewish people escape the holocaust such as Christian the 10th of Denmark and Winston Churchill the British Prime Minister.
