Most current societies have abolished absolute monarchies, but some variations of them with constitutions in place remain. These real-life royal families usually serve as figureheads and diplomatic servants of the state they reside in. We've been collectively obsessed with the lives of monarchs for generations, with history books encompassing tons of private information on what these 'celebrities' have been up to. We dress up as Cleopatra for Halloween, we watch TV shows about the Tudor Dynasty, and sometimes we even major in the study of great civilizations from the past. The fascination with royals is occasionally unexplainable, but a significant aspect of our ability to document history.
Did you know that divorce was essentially invented and introduced to the Church by King Henry VII? Or that the York family inspired parts of "Game of Thrones?" Get out your thinking cap as we dive into the world of empires and birthright. We'll look at kings and queens, sultans, emperors and empresses, and other members of the royal families who have contributed to our world history. Some bloodlines remain today, and others stay in our textbooks. They royally made an impression on the world, but it's their marriages, children and political alliances that keep them in our culture. Crack open your inner textbook, and let's see if you know your stuff!
