[edit] Why?

What is the point of this page? I suspect that *every* crowned head of Europe in 1900 could trace his/her ancestry to royalty in *every* country of Europe 1000 years earlier. --Macrakis 02:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I have to concur with Macrakis's point, as intermarriage has been the rule in European royalty since time immemorial. The primitive modus of middle-ages diplomacy, after all, did include shipping off "royal siblings/offsprings" to marry with strangers who ruled other countries... in lieu of some kind of collateral, one might reasonably suppose.Porfyrios (talk) 10:26, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but there's naturally a psychological connexion between the last centuries of Roman emperors and the kings of modern Greece — if nothing else, remember that there were two Kings Constantine in little more than 100 years. Nyttend 00:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Still an absurdity. --Macrakis (talk) 19:46, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

That piece of noncence is a typical propaganda made by the greek throne and the junta of april the 21st in order that the greek people accept the throne. Monarchy was never accepted by the Greeks who suffered from the crown NemoMeImpuneLacessit (talk) 17:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

The ancestry is valid and you can check the specific articles if you want. Whether this article is actually useful is another matter. Dimadick (talk) 11:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
