Coupled Cousins In this series, I intend to show how the monarchs of a given sovereign European state were related to their wives (or husbands). I will attempt to be more inclusive, rather than exclusive, in my selections. However, I shall limit myself to those who reigned during the 2nd millennium AD (1001 - 2000). This week, we have a look at the sovereigns of France: from 1001 to 1870. --//-- is used to avoid repetition. "Not related" means that Genealogics is unable to link the sovereign and their spouse. "Distantly related" is similar, but one has to manually search beyond the seven generation barrier imposed by that useful website. I'll show the common ancestors for those couples elsewhere. Behold! Capetian dynasty: 1) Robert II of France (972 – 1031) and Rozala of Italy (c. 955 – 1003): 3^rd cousins (1 x removed) [1]. --//-- and Bertha of Burgundy (964 – 1010): 2^nd cousins [2]. --//-- and Constance of Arles (c. 986 – 1032): not related. 2) Henry I of France (1008 – 1060) and Matilda of Frisia (? – 1044): not related. --//-- and Anne of Kiev (c. 1030 – 1075): not related. 3) Philip I of France (1052 – 1108) and Bertha of Holland (c. 1055 – 1094): 6^th cousins [3]. --//-- and Bertrade of Montfort (c. 1070 – 1117): not related. 4) Louis VI of France (1081 – 1137) and Lucienne of Rochefort (1088 – c. 1137): not related. --//-- and Adelaide of Maurienne (1092 – 1154): 4^th cousins (2 x removed) [4]. 5) Louis VII of France (1120 – 1180) and Eleanor of Aquitaine (1122 – 1204): 3^rd cousins (1 x removed) [5]. --//-- and Constance of Castile (1136/1140 – 1160): 2^nd cousins [6]. --//-- and Adela of Champagne (c. 1140 – 1206): 3^rd cousins (1 x removed) [5]. 6) Philip II of France (1165 – 1223) and Isabella of Hainault (1170 – 1190): 3^rd cousins [7]. --//-- and Ingeborg of Denmark, Queen of France (1174 – 1237): 4^th cousins (1 x removed) [8]. --//-- and Agnes of Merania (c. 1175 – 1201): 5^th cousins [9, 10]. 7) Louis VIII of France (1187 – 1226) and Blanche of Castile (1188 – 1252): 3^rd cousins [11]. 8) Louis IX of France (1214 – 1270) and Margaret of Provence (1221 – 1295): 3^rd cousins [12]. 9) Philip III of France (1245 – 1285) and Isabella of Aragon, Queen of France (c. 1248 – 1271): 2^nd cousins (1 x removed) [13]. --//-- and Marie of Brabant, Queen of France (1254 – 1322): 4^th cousins [14]. 10) Philip IV of France (1268 – 1314) and Joan I of Navarre (1273 – 1305): 2^nd cousins [15]. 11) Louis X of France (1289 – 1316) and Margaret of Burgundy, Queen of France (1290 – 1315): 1^st cousins (1 x removed) [16]. --//-- and Clementia of Hungary (1293 – 1328): 3^rd cousins [15, 17]. 12) Philip V of France (c. 1293 – 1322) and Joan II, Countess of Burgundy (1292 – 1330): 2^nd cousins [18]. 13) Charles IV of France (1294 – 1328) and Blanche of Burgundy (c. 1296 – 1326): 2^nd cousins [18]. --//-- and Marie of Luxembourg, Queen of France (1304 – 1324): 3^rd cousins [19]. --//-- and Joan of Évreux (1310 – 1371): 1^st cousins [20]. 14) Philip VI of France (c. 1293 – 1350) and Joan the Lame (1293 – 1349): 1^st cousins (1 x removed) [16]. --//-- and Blanche of Navarre, Queen of France (1330 – 1398): 1^st cousins (1 x removed) [20]. 15) John II of France (1319 – 1364) and Bonne of Luxembourg (1315 – 1349): 2^nd cousins (2 x removed) [21]. --//-- and Joan I, Countess of Auvergne (1326 – 1360): 2^nd cousins [20]. 16) Charles V of France (1338 – 1380) and Joanna of Bourbon (1338 – 1378): 1^st cousins (1 x removed) [22]. 17) Charles VI of France (1368 – 1422) and Isabeau of Bavaria (c. 1370 – 1435): 3^rd cousins (1 x removed) [23]. 18) Charles VII of France (1403 – 1461) and Marie of Anjou (1404 – 1463): 2^nd cousins [24]. 19) Louis XI of France (1423 – 1483) and Margaret Stewart, Dauphine of France (1424 – 1445): 4^th cousins (1 x removed) [22]. --//-- and Charlotte of Savoy (c. 1441/3 – 1483): 3^rd cousins [24]. 20) Charles VIII of France (1470 – 1498) and Anne of Brittany (1477 – 1514): 3^rd cousins [25]. 21) Louis XII of France (1462 – 1515) and Joan of France, Duchess of Berry (1464 – 1505): 2^nd cousins (1 x removed) [25]. --//-- and Anne of Brittany (1477 – 1514): 1^st cousins (1 x removed) [26]. --//-- and Mary Tudor, Queen of France (1496 – 1533): 2^nd cousins (2 x removed) [25]. 22) Francis I of France (1494 – 1547) and Claude of France (1499 – 1524): 2^nd cousins [26]. --//-- and Eleanor of Austria (1498 – 1558): 2^nd cousins (1 x removed) [27]. 23) Henry II of France (1519 – 1559) and Catherine de' Medici (1519 – 1589): 4^th cousins (1 x removed) [28, 29]. 24) Francis II of France (1544 – 1560) and Mary, Queen of Scots (1542 – 1587): 3^rd cousins [30]. 25) Charles IX of France (1550 – 1574) and Elisabeth of Austria, Queen of France (1554 – 1592): 4^th cousins [31]. 26) Henry III of France (1551 – 1589) and Louise of Lorraine (1553 – 1601): 4^th cousins [27, 32]. 27) Henry IV of France (1553 – 1610) and Margaret of Valois (1553 – 1615): 2^nd cousins [33]. --//-- and Marie de' Medici (1575 – 1642): 4^th cousins [31]. 28) Louis XIII (1601 – 1643) and Anne of Austria (1601 – 1666): 2^nd cousins [34]. 29) Louis XIV (1638 – 1715) and Maria Theresa of Spain (1638 – 1683): 1^st cousins [35, 36]. --//-- and Françoise d'Aubigné, Marquise de Maintenon (1635 – 1719): not related. 30) Louis XV (1710 – 1774) and Marie Leszczyńska (1703 – 1768): distantly related. 31) Louis XVI (1754 – 1793) and Marie Antoinette (1755 – 1793): 2^nd cousins (1 x removed) [37].

Monegasque Musings It is well-known that the rulers of tiny Monaco have a general tendency to lack descent from mainstream European royal and noble lines. In this series, I intend to investigate this frequently-ignored area of European Royal Genealogy. The starting point is Honoré II (1597 - 1662), the son of Ercole, Lord of Monaco (1562 - 1604), and Maria Landi (? - 1599). He ascended the throne in 1604 and was promoted to Prince at some point in 1612. I have decided to show how he was related to (most of) his fellow European sovereigns in both 1604 and 1612 below. As you can see for yourselves, the year almost makes no difference. Emperors: 1) Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor (1552 – 1612): 4^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. Matthias, Holy Roman Emperor (1557 – 1619): 4^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. Kings: 2) James VI and I (1566 – 1625): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [2]. 3) Henry IV of France (1553 – 1610): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [3]. Louis XIII (1601 – 1643): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [1, 3]. 4) Sigismund III Vasa (1566 – 1632): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [4]. 5) Christian IV of Denmark (1577 – 1648): distantly related. 6) Philip III of Spain (1578 – 1621): 4^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. 7) Charles IX of Sweden (1550 – 1611): distantly related. Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden (1594 – 1632): distantly related. The ones I've shown as being "distantly related" will be explained elsewhere. ------------------------- (1) Through Edward, King of Portugal (1391 – 1438), who was married, but also had at least one child out of wedlock. (2) Through John of Gaunt (1340 – 1399), who married three times, although only the first and the last wives appear here. (3) Through John II of Aragon (1398 – 1479), who was married (twice), but also had children out of wedlock. (4) Through Ferdinand I of Aragon (1380 – 1416) and Eleanor of Alburquerque (1374 – 1435).

Monegasque Musings (Part Two) We continue with Louis I, Prince of Monaco (1642 - 1701), the son of Ercole, Marquis of Baux (1623 - 1651), and Maria Aurelia Spinola (1625 - 1670). As his father had predeceased his own father, Prince Honoré II, Louis ascended the throne a bit prematurely in 1662. It is at that point in time when I'd like to show how he was related to (most of) his fellow European sovereigns. An Emperor: 1) Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor (1640 – 1705): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [1, 2]. Kings (and one Tsar): 2) Philip IV of Spain (1605 – 1665): 5^th cousin (2 x removed) [2]. 3) Louis XIV (1638 – 1715): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [2]. 4) Alexis of Russia (1629 – 1676): distantly related. 5) Frederick III of Denmark (1609 – 1670): 5^th cousin (2 x removed) [3]. 6) John II Casimir Vasa (1609 – 1672): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [2]. 7) Charles II of England (1630 – 1685): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [3]. 8) Afonso VI of Portugal (1643 – 1683): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [2]. 9) Charles XI of Sweden (1655 – 1697): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [3]. The one I've shown as being "distantly related" will be explained elsewhere. --------------------------- (1) Through Ludovico III Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua (1412 – 1478), and Barbara of Brandenburg, Marquise of Mantua (1422 – 1481). (2) Through Edward, King of Portugal (1391 – 1438), who was married, but also had at least one child out of wedlock. (3) Through John, Margrave of Brandenburg-Kulmbach (1406 – 1464), and Barbara, Herzogin von Sachsen-Wittenberg (c. 1405 – 1465).

Monegasque Musings (Part Three) We have reached Antonio I, Prince of Monaco (1661 - 1731). He was the elder son of Louis I, Prince of Monaco (1642 - 1701), and Catherine Charlotte de Gramont (1639 - 1678). It was upon his father's death in 1701, the very beginning of the 18th century, when Antonio ascended the Monegasque throne. Let us see how he was related to (most of) his fellow European sovereigns, who were reigning at that moment. An Emperor: 1) Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor (1640 – 1705): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. Kings (and one Tsar): 2) Louis XIV (1638 – 1715): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. 3) Peter the Great (1672 – 1725): distantly related. 4) Peter II of Portugal (1648 – 1706): distantly related. 5) William III of England (1650 – 1702): 7^th cousin [1]. 6) Charles XII of Sweden (1682 – 1718): distantly related. 7) Augustus II the Strong (1670 – 1733): distantly related. 8) Frederick IV of Denmark (1671 – 1730): distantly related. 9) Philip V of Spain (1683 – 1746): distantly related. How interesting! These "distant relatives" will be explained soon, albeit elsewhere. --------------------- (1) Through Gaston IV, Count of Foix (1422 – 1472), who was married, but also had at least one child out of wedlock.

She was the eldest surviving daughter of Antonio I, Prince of Monaco (1661 - 1731), and Marie of Lorraine (1674 - 1724). When her father died in 1731, Louise Hippolyte ascended the Monegasque throne, but didn't get to reign for long. Let's see how she was related to (most of) her fellow European sovereigns of 1731. An Emperor and an Empress: 1) Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor (1685 – 1740): 6^th cousin [1]. 2) Anna of Russia (1693 – 1740): distantly related. Kings: 3) Augustus II the Strong (1670 – 1733): distantly related. 4) Philip V of Spain (1683 – 1746): 6^th cousin [1, 2]. 5) John V of Portugal (1689 – 1750): 6^th cousin [1]. 6) Frederick William I of Prussia (1688 – 1740): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [3]. 7) Louis XV (1710 – 1774): 4^th cousin (2 x removed) [4]. 8) Frederick I of Sweden (1676 – 1751): 6^th cousin [5, 6]. 9) George II of Great Britain (1683 – 1760): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [3]. 10) Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia (1701 – 1773): 4^th cousin (1 x removed) [4]. 11) Christian VI of Denmark (1699 – 1746): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [5, 6]. Much better than last time! The two "distant relatives" will be explained elsewhere. --------------------------- (1) Through René II, Duke of Lorraine (1451 – 1508), and Philippa of Guelders (1467 – 1547). (2) Through Francis, Count of Vendôme (1470 – 1495), and Marie of Luxembourg, Countess of Vendôme (c. 1472 – 1547). (3) Through Claude, Duke of Guise (1496 – 1550), and Antoinette of Bourbon (1494 – 1583). (4) Through René, Marquis of Elbeuf (1536 – 1566), and Louise de Rieux (1531 – 1570). (5) Through Louis, Prince of La Roche-sur-Yon (1473 – 1520), and Louise de Bourbon, Duchess of Montpensier (1482 – 1561). (6) Through Jean IV de Longvy (? – 1520) and Jeanne d'Angoulême (c. 1490 – 1531/8).

Coupled Cousins (Part Five) This week, we have a look at the sovereigns of England: from 1001 to 1707. --//-- is used to avoid repetition. "Not related" means that Genealogics is unable to link the sovereign and their spouse. "Distantly related" is similar, but one has to manually search beyond the eight generation barrier imposed by that useful website. I'll show the common ancestors for that one couple elsewhere. Behold! House of Wessex: 1) Æthelred the Unready (c. 966 – 1016) and Ælfgifu of York (c. 970 – 1002): not related. --//-- and Emma of Normandy (c. 984 – 1052): not related.

Thank you for your interesting Coupled Cousins posts, Murtagon. To the best of my recollection, I believe that it was Philippa of Hainault (Edward III's queen) who restored the bloodlines of King Harold Godwinson (through his daughter Gytha, the wife of Vladimir II Monomakh, Grand Prince of Kievan Rus) and King Stephen (through his daughter Marie, the regnant Countess of Boulogne and also Abbess of Romsey Convent) to the English monarchy. Postscript: On a personal note, I had my 2nd Covid vaccination (with the Moderna version) two days ago, with no side-effects other than a sore arm. __________________ Dis Aliter Visum "Beware of martyrs and those who would die for their beliefs; for they frequently make many others die with them, often before them, sometimes instead of them."

I used to think that too about King Stephen, but actually Edward III was himself a descendant through his mother. And ditto for Harold II (link traces to Gytha). So it was Isabelle of France through whom the blood of these earlier kings returned to the English throne. Congrats on the vax, I've had my first dose (Astra-Zeneca) which made me feel decidedly off-colour for a couple of days but I was still glad to have had it. Second dose due in May.

Thank you for that information, Peter. I hadn't been aware that King Edward III already had a descent from King Harold II Godwinson and King Stephen through his mother Isabella of France. And so Edward III and his wife Philippa both shared descents from those kings. That would make Edward III and Philippa cousins, but considerably more distant than the descent from King Philippe III of France that Murtagon has posted for them. Best Wishes for a second Covid vaccination next month. I've heard that the second dose is a bit more likely to have side-effects than the first, although in my own case there weren't any worth mentioning. __________________ Dis Aliter Visum "Beware of martyrs and those who would die for their beliefs; for they frequently make many others die with them, often before them, sometimes instead of them."

Monegasque Musings (Part Five) It is now time for Jacques I, Prince of Monaco (1689 - 1751). He was the husband of Louise Hippolyte (1697 - 1731), the first and so far only Princess regnant of Monaco. Jacques was originally supposed to reign alongside his wife, but that didn't happen. He did, however, succeed her on the throne after her untimely death. Now, let us see how Prince Jacques was related to (most of) his fellow European sovereigns in 1731. An Emperor and an Empress: 1) Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor (1685 – 1740): distantly related. 2) Anna of Russia (1693 – 1740): distantly related. Kings: 3) Augustus II the Strong (1670 – 1733): distantly related. 4) Philip V of Spain (1683 – 1746): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. 5) John V of Portugal (1689 – 1750): distantly related. 6) Frederick William I of Prussia (1688 – 1740): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [2]. 7) Louis XV (1710 – 1774): 5^th cousin (2 x removed) [1, 3]. 8) Frederick I of Sweden (1676 – 1751): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [4]. 9) George II of Great Britain (1683 – 1760): 5^th cousin (2 x removed) [1]. 10) Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia (1701 – 1773): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [1, 3]. 11) Christian VI of Denmark (1699 – 1746): distantly related. Hmm, not bad, even if I say so myself! The "distant relatives" will be explained elsewhere. ------------------------- (1) Through Francis, Count of Vendôme (1470 – 1495), and Marie of Luxembourg, Countess of Vendôme (c. 1472 – 1547). (2) Through Jacques de Daillon, Seigneur du Lude (? – 1532), and Madeleine/Jeanne de Vendôme, Dame d'Illiers (? - ?).

Honore ascended the throne of Monaco not upon his mother's death in 1731, but in 1733 upon his father's abdication. It is indeed in 1733 when we'll see how Prince Honore III was related to (most of) his fellow European sovereigns. An Emperor and an Empress: 1) Charles VI, Holy Roman Emperor (1685 – 1740): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. 2) Anna of Russia (1693 – 1740): distantly related. Kings: 3) Philip V of Spain (1683 – 1746): 6^th cousin [2]. 4) John V of Portugal (1689 – 1750): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [1]. 5) Frederick William I of Prussia (1688 – 1740): 6^th cousin [3, 4]. 6) Louis XV (1710 – 1774): 5^th cousin (1 x removed) [5]. 7) Frederick I of Sweden (1676 – 1751): 6^th cousin (1 x removed) [6, 7]. 8) George II of Great Britain (1683 – 1760): 6^th cousin [4]. 9) Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia (1701 – 1773): 5^th cousin [5]. 10) Christian VI of Denmark (1699 – 1746): 7^th cousin [6, 7]. 11) Augustus III of Poland (1696 – 1763): distantly related. The two "distant relatives" will be dealt with elsewhere. --------------------- (1) Through René II, Duke of Lorraine (1451 – 1508), and Philippa of Guelders (1467 – 1547). (2) Through Francis, Count of Vendôme (1470 – 1495), and Marie of Luxembourg, Countess of Vendôme (c. 1472 – 1547).
