## Agnatic members

*NOTE: This is NOT how, in the game, a person is a member of the House. This is only out of curiosity and in relation to the real world.*

In the real world, belonging to a Royal House is defined by agnatic-descent; this means a person belongs to their father's House, and he belongs to his father's House and so on. Usually, when a Queen Regnant passes away and a child of hers becomes monarch, the Royal House would change to the name of his father's House. For example, Queen Victoria was a member of the House of Hanover, but her son and successor King Edward VII was a member of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, as it was his father's House.

There are cases where a monarch combines the name of their father and their mother's Houses. For example, when Queen María II of Portugal (of the House of Braganza) died, her son did not take the fame of his father's House (Saxe-Coburg-Gotha). Instead, it was created the branch of "Saxe-Coburg-Braganza", although it was commonly used the simplified and tradicional form "Braganza".
