A dynasty (UK: /ˈdɪnəsti/, US: /ˈdaɪnəsti/) is a sequence of
rulers from the same family,[1] usually in the context of a feudal or
monarchical system, but sometimes also appearing in elective
republics. The dynastic family or lineage may be known as a
"house",[2] which may be styled as "royal", "princely", "ducal",
"comital", etc., depending upon the chief or present title borne by
its members. Historians periodize the histories of many sovereign
states, such as Ancient Egypt, the
Carolingian Empire

Carolingian Empire and Imperial
China, using a framework of successive dynasties. As such, the term
"dynasty" may be used to delimit the era during which the family
reigned and to describe events, trends, and artifacts of that period
("a Ming-dynasty vase"). The word "dynasty" itself is often dropped
from such adjectival references ("a Ming vase").
Until the 19th century, it was taken for granted that a legitimate
function of a monarch was to aggrandize his dynasty: that is, to
increase the territory, wealth, and power of his family members.[3]
The longest-surviving dynasty in the world is the Imperial House of
Japan, the Yamato dynasty, whose reign is traditionally dated to 660
BC.
Prior to the 20th century, dynasties throughout the world have
traditionally been reckoned patrilineally, such as under the Frankish
Salic law. In nations where it was permitted, succession through a
daughter usually established a new dynasty in her husband's ruling
house. This has changed in some places in Europe, where succession law
and convention have maintained dynasties de jure through a female. For
example, the
House of Windsor

House of Windsor is maintained through the children of
Queen Elizabeth II, similarly with the monarchy of the Netherlands,
whose dynasty remained the
House of Orange-Nassau

House of Orange-Nassau through three
successive queens regnant. The earliest such example among the major
European monarchies was in Russia in the 18th century, where the name
of the
House of Romanov

House of Romanov was maintained through a non-ruling female.
In South Africa's Limpopo Province, Balobedu determined descent
matrilineally, while rulers have at other times adopted the name of
their mother's dynasty when coming into her inheritance. Less
frequently, a monarchy has alternated or been rotated, in a
multidynastic (or polydynastic) system – that is, the most senior
living members of parallel dynasties, at any point in time, constitute
the line of succession.
The word "dynasty" is sometimes used informally for people who are not
rulers but are, for example, members of a family with influence and
power in other areas, such as a series of successive owners of a major
company. It is also extended to unrelated people, such as major poets
of the same school or various rosters of a single sports team.[1]

Etymology[edit]
The word "dynasty" derives from Latin dynastia, which comes from Greek
dynastéia (δυναστεία), where it referred to "power",
"dominion", and "rule" itself.[4] It was the abstract noun of
dynástēs (δυνάστης),[5] the agent noun of dynamis
(δύναμις), "power" or "ability",[6] from dýnamai
(δύναμαι), "to be able".[7]
Dynasts[edit]
A ruler in a dynasty is sometimes referred to as a "dynast", but this
term is also used to describe any member of a reigning family who
retains a right to succeed to a throne. For example, following his
abdication,
Edward VIII of the United Kingdom
.jpg/440px-HRH_The_Prince_of_Wales_No_4_(HS85-10-36416).jpg)
Edward VIII of the United Kingdom ceased to be a dynastic
member of the House of Windsor.
A "dynastic marriage" is one that complies with monarchical house law
restrictions, so that the descendants are eligible to inherit the
throne or other royal privileges. The marriage of Willem-Alexander,
Prince

Prince of Orange, to
Máxima Zorreguieta

Máxima Zorreguieta in 2002 was dynastic, for
example, and their eldest child is expected to inherit the Dutch crown
eventually. But the marriage of his younger brother
Prince

Prince Friso to
Mabel Wisse Smit

Mabel Wisse Smit in 2003 lacked government support and parliamentary
approval. Thus Friso forfeited his place in the order of succession,
lost his title as a
Prince

Prince of the Netherlands, and left his children
without dynastic rights.
In historical and monarchist references to formerly reigning families,
a "dynast" is a family member who would have had succession rights,
were the monarchy's rules still in force. For example, after the 1914
assassinations of
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his
morganatic wife Sophie von Hohenberg, their son Max was bypassed for
the Austrian throne because he was not a
Habsburg

Habsburg dynast. Even since
abolition of the Austrian monarchy, Max and his descendants have not
been considered the rightful pretenders by Austrian monarchists, nor
have they claimed that position.
The term "dynast" is sometimes used only to refer to agnatic
descendants of a realm's monarchs, and sometimes to include those who
hold succession rights through cognatic royal descent. The term can
therefore describe overlapping but distinct sets of people. For
example, David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon, a nephew of Queen
Elizabeth II

Elizabeth II through her sister, Princess Margaret, is in the line of
succession to the British crown: in that sense he is a British dynast.
Yet he is not a male-line member of the royal family, and is therefore
not a dynast of the House of Windsor.
On the other hand, the German aristocrat Ernst August,
Prince

Prince of
Hanover (born 1954), a male-line descendant of George III of the
United Kingdom, possesses no legal British name, titles or styles
(although he is entitled to re-claim the once-royal dukedom of
Cumberland), was born in the line of succession to the British crown
and was bound by Britain's
Royal Marriages Act 1772
.svg/280px-Coat_of_Arms_of_Great_Britain_(1714-1801).svg.png)
Royal Marriages Act 1772 until it was
repealed when the
Succession to the Crown Act 2013
.svg/280px-Royal_Coat_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom_(HM_Government).svg.png)
Succession to the Crown Act 2013 took effect on 26
March 2015.[8] Thus, in 1999 he requested and obtained formal
permission from
Elizabeth II

Elizabeth II to marry the Roman Catholic Princess
Caroline of Monaco. Yet a clause of the English Act of Settlement 1701
remained in effect at that time, stipulating that dynasts who marry
Roman Catholics are considered "dead" for the purpose of succession to
the throne.[9] That exclusion, too, ceased to apply on 26 March 2015,
with retroactive effect for those who had been dynasts prior to
triggering it by marriage to a Catholic.[8]

Political families in Republics[edit]
Main article: List of political families
Though in elected governments rule does not pass automatically by
inheritance, political power often accrues to generations of related
individuals in republics. Eminence, influence, tradition, genetics,
and nepotism may contribute to this phenomenon.
Family dictatorships are a different concept, in which political power
passes within a family due to the overwhelming authority of the
leader, rather than informal power accrued to the family.

^ Thomson, David (1961). "The Institutions of Monarchy". Europe Since
Napoleon. New York: Knopf. pp. 79–80. The basic idea of
monarchy was the idea that hereditary right gave the best title to
political power...The dangers of disputed succession were best avoided
by hereditary succession: ruling families had a natural interest in
passing on to their descendants enhanced power and
prestige...Frederick the Great of Prussia, Catherine the Great of
Russia, Maria Theresa of Austria, were alike infatuated with the idea
of strengthening their power, centralizing government in their own
hands as against local and feudal privileges, and so acquiring more
absolute authority in the state. Moreover, the very dynastic rivalries
and conflicts between these eighteenth-century monarchs drove them to
look for ever more efficient methods of government
