Talk:Royal house

message: I am afraid that this line is incorrect "imilarly, though the British Royal House name under Queen Victoria and King Edward VII was Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, the personal surname of Victoria's descendants was Wettin."  
I was under the impression that under Victorias reign, it was still the House of Hanover, as decended from George, Elector of Hanover.  When Victoria died, Edward VII did take the name of his fathers family, Saxe-Cobug-Gotha.  I am going to edit to show this unless someone can prove otherwise?

:Victoria was the last of the House of Hanover to rule over Britain. However, on that surname thing, she took her husband's name, which was found in ancient times to be Wettin, as women take their husband's name upon marriage, as they still do now in Western countries.Emerson 07 (talk) 02:48, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: British royal during the House of Hanover and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha didn't use surnames; the Windsors, the Tudors, the Stuarts did. Queen regnants don't take on their husband's name or royal house; their children do. --Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 18:31, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Israel is a modern state which ever since its inception has not had Royalty.
The Davidic line as well as the Hasmonean dynasty did not rule the modern state of Israel and as such they are not extinct houses of the modern state of Israel. --92.40.65.116 (talk) 18:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Could anyone please enlighten me as to what are the rules of succession on headship to royal houses? Currently, I believe that it passes through agnatic primogeniture. The prominence of status of a woman does not elevate her to the headship of the house - i.e. Queen Elizabeth II or Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester as Head of the House of Windsor (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha branch) - or does it?

replies: text: that is different for each house, and it can be changed to fit circumstances. For example, see Salic_law#Application_in_France, where the old Salic law was resurrected and strengthened to forbid the inheritance of kingship via female lines. All in order to refute the claim of a certain royal house. The article lists more examples for Spain, Britain, one German state, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Normandy, where the law had to be changed to forbid (or to allow) inheritance by females. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:41, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

message: The term house, referring to family, is actually not only used for royal houses, but also frequently for (other) noble houses, both souvereign and non-souvereign. A better title would be house (family). Garn Svend (talk) 14:47, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Suggest moving the page

message: I was going to split this article per a long standing split tag, however I found that article already exists and at cursory inspection duplicates the information in the list in this article. Would there be any objection to me moving any information in the list in this article that is not in the List of royal houses articles and removing the list in this article?
