Talk:House of Orange-Nassau

message: What sort of social rank would one have to bear in their family, in order to be a descendent of either?  
How far up the totem pole, would you say?  
This is intended to have broad answers and based on gradients of time and population, not going into specifics about exact descendents.  About how common is their descent in the English or British genepool today?  
I've noticed that American Presidents don't descend from either king, but the most common recent royal ancestor shared by many of us is Edward III.  How common is it for anybody in the English or British genepool, to have a Protestant royal ancestor?  
There is a general cutoff, isn't there?  
Is it because of fratricide in the Wars of the Roses, the Tudors' "new men", or the Union of the Crowns, or the parliamentary union under Queen Anne (I can't think of any non-royal family descent from the Hanoverians within the UK)?  
I'm thinking that there is a big difference between Plantagenet and Tudor descents, that the commons in all likelihood have the former and the latter is held by the lords.  (just generally speaking)  Then again, Tudor descent in the Welsh must be higher in general.  I am further curious about pre-Royal Tudor blood in Anglo-British people today, since the status and/or concept of Welsh royalty/nobility is rather hazy in my mind.  I found the Blevins aka Ap Bleddyn family of Powys in my ancestry, but have no real idea on what to make of it--or any other Welsh "native aristocracy".  I might be able to find Stewart descent somewhere, from way back when.  What percentage of Hanoverian background do you think that German colonists had in America?  
On the British side, I have to go as far back as Welf himself...but any recent genetic relationship with the Hanoverians or the counts of Nassau are completely obscure.  How does one research those other colonial people, such as the Hessians?  
UK genealogy is relatively easy when focusing on English (and French) ancestries.  What would a "national person" of Jerusalem (or Antioch, for example) in Crusader times be known as?  
We say "American" for those Founders, but was there such a nationality-term for the Crusaders in their own domains?  
I guess the term is supposed to be Levantine/Outremer, or "Crusader" as our national heritage says "Colonist"...

thread_title: Family Foundations of the House of Orange-Nassau

message: In the family tree, the use of the phrase ´not eligible for throne´ is a severe political and social mistake, if not downright a defacto real mistake. They are all elligible for the/a throne, they are not all elligible for the/a comode, which is herent to/onto the term crown. (Some will bicker about this, stating that indeed they are eligible for the/a crown, which defacto would be true).
I suppose the real issue and instance would be that they are not all elligible for the plunger within the comode, some not wanting it (due the term plunger), some not having what that would take (the comode is due some other, the backwash, theirs).
Profits can be fast, the downfall, disastrous, all and any whom have, having lost their heads (in more ways than one).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.248.111.106 (talk) 18:30, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Can some one please translate this, because I have truly no idea what the poster above is trying to say with phrases like "plunger within the comode" which I can only interpret as "unblocking the loo" as far a my English goes (and I guess that is not what was meant). 18:47, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not sure what is going on above there given the simple phrase, "not eligible for the throne", which in standard English means that the person has been disbarred from becoming King/Queen of the Netherlands under the constitution.  In this case, Johan Friso was disbarred and lost his title of "Prince of the Netherlands" as he married without the consent of the Dutch Government and States-General.  That is all the phrase meant.

message: The 'v' in van is definitely not pronounced as a (phonetic) 'f',
since in correct Netherlandish pronunciation 'v' and 'f' are distinct:
'v' is pronounced slightly voiced, whereas 'f' is pronounced sharp voiceless.
