The New Murrey and Blue blog

This time, Useful Charts determines the hypothetical King (Emperor) of Germany. The Emperors from 1871 were the Hohenzollerns, an ancient family who had become Kings of Prussia, the largest of the four remaining component monarchies alongside Bavaria, Saxony and Wurttenburg and several smaller states. The 2018 video, ironically marking the centenary of the abdication shows all four lines, but the Hohenzollerns (left) are of arguably the most interest. Their descent from Wilhelm II is actually quite clear given that some senior figures have disclaimed the hypothetical title and some became ineligible by marrying morganatically. The Bavarian descendants clash with the Jacobite claimants, but won’t soon and the Saxon pretenders are complicated by an adoption of their leader’s nephew. All four amalgamating kingdoms would still practice the Salic Law.
