Each of the four former kings.

landed estates in various parts of
the empire. The value of these and
other royal domains amounts to many
hundreds of millions.
One of the few who did not get
an annual civil list is the grand duke
of Mecklenburg-Strelit the reason
being that he is one of the wealthiest
German sovereigns, having seignorial
rights over more than one-half Of
