Emperor Francis Joseph is styled Hapsburg.
But his patronymic is either Alsace or Lorraine.
For he is descended in direct line from Ethichon
Duke of Alsace in the eighth century, one of whose
great-grandsons, Gerard d'Alsace was created first
hereditary Duke of Lorraine by Emperor Henry III.
Duke Francis III. of Lorraine in 1876 married
Archduchess Maria Theresa, only child and heress
of Charles VI, the last of the Hapsburg Emperors of
Germany, and by virtue of this union succeeded
him on the throne, the house of Hapsburg passing
out of existence the death of its last and only
survivor, his consort, who figures in history as EN-
press Maria Theresa.
Zolorin, not Hohenzolern, is the patronymic of
Emperor William, and of the King of Rumania
The founder of their family was Burchardus of
Zolorin, who died in 1861, whose descendants late
corrupted their to Zoern, and at still later
date to Hohenzollern.
The House of Orange became extinct in the male
line, and through the death in 1890 of King William
III. of Holland, its only survivor, his daughter
Queen Wihelmina, is now, through her marriage,
Mecklenburg, and member, therefore, of the most
ancient dynasty of Europe which is able to trace its
descent in the male line direct from Genseric King
of the Vandals, in the fifth century.
Savoy is the family name of the King of Italy the
founder of whose house Humbert of the White
Hands, Count of Savoy, who died about the time of
the first Crusade. The patronymics of the Grand

King Edward, the occasion of his visit to
America while still Prince of Wales, bore the in
cognito title of Lord Chester and since his accession
to the throne adopts the style of Duke of Lancaster
during his annual stays at Marenbad in Austria.
Empress Eugene is usually content to be known as
Comtesse de Pierrefond; the King of Portugal as
Count Barcellos; and his handsome consort Queen
Amalie Marquise Villacosa. Prince Ferdinand

late Empress Frederick was Countess Lingen; while

tives, and was wont to sign himself officially
as Albert Edward, until he assumed the style Of
Edward VII, on the death of Queen Victoria.
The King of Greece's real name is William and
he was serving Prince William of Denmark in the
English navy at the time of his election to the throne
of Greece. AS William has a foreign sound to
Hellenic ears, it was decided that he should assume
the name of George. The ruler of Norway

known among the members of his family by the
name of Charles although he regns as Haakon VII.

Exclusively for Royalty

MYTH regard to incognito Names it is not gener-
w ally known that in Europe their use is restrict
ed to royalty and if adopted BY persons of less
allied rank is likely to get them into trouble with the
police Thus ex-Crown Princess Stephane, being
held to have forfeited her royal and imperial rank
by her marriage to the Hungarian Count Lonjay,
was called to account by the Austrian authorities
for having endeavored to conceal her identity by
means of an incognito during sojourn at
Vienna, and it was pointed out to her that being
longer Princess of the Blood, she had become de-
barred from the exclusively royal prerogative of
using incognito. 1t is prerogative which the

way while in the of other rulers their real patro-
nymics differ considerably from those popularity
is of Greek origin, and the genealogical derivation
of which is from pater (father) and enuna (name),
is meant the of the father which has descended
in direct male line and not that which has been
assumed by reason of marriage with heiresses, or
for other causes.
Thus, although works of reference describe King
reality Capet. The family of bourbon became
extinct as far back the twelfth century, in the
reign of the Capet King st. Louis of France, when
ms sixth son: RopeIt Gapet; Count OF Clermont,
member OF her house. whose name, title and arms
he thereupon assumed. 1t is from this union that
descended in the direct male line King Alfonso of
Spain, the Duke of Orleans, the ex-sovereign Duke
of Parma, Don Carlos and the Count of Caserta,
Pretender to the throne of Naples. The Terrorists
of 1898 well aware that there were no longer
any real Bourbons in existence; for throughout the
trial of the i'll fated Louis XVI they invariably
addressed him as Louis Capet, the name under
which he was ultimately sent to the scaffold.
The Cars Real Name
NOR is Romanof the patronymic of the reigning
IN House of Russia, but Oldenburg or Aldenburch
The House of Romanof passed out Of existence with
the death of its last survivor, Empress Elizabeth
daughter of Peter the Great, who was succeeded as
ruler of Russia by her nephew Peter of Oldenburg,
Duke of Gottorp, son of her younger sister
Grandduchess Ann. 1t is from this Car, who
reigned as Peter ILL., that Emperor Nicholas IL and
the whole of the reigning House of Russia are de-
scended, and they are therefore not Romanoffs but
Oldenburgs. The founder of their family is Count
Elimar of Oldenburg grandson of Witteknd, the
celebrated antagonist of Charlemagne, and it is from
him too that are descended in the direct male line
the present rulers of Denmark, Greece. Norway and
Oldenburg, all of whose patronymics the same
as those of Emperor Nicholas, namely, Oldenburg.
Victim is the patronymic of King Edward, Of
Leopold of Belgium. of the King of Saxony, Of the
Grandduke of SaxeWemar, of the Dukes of Sake
Coburg-G otha, of Saxe-Altenburg and of SAKE
Meiningen of the Prince of Bulgaria as well as of
King Carlos of Portugal. The latter claims to be
