  1. It makes their larp more funny, they are literally just playing pretend

  2.  @Inzersdorf93  I mean if you had to start pointing out unfair wealth acquisition in videos about royal families, you’d never be able to finish a sentence

  3.  @Oosh21 Why is he a poor student of history because he wants to keep the name he has had for his entire life

  4. And the modern Frankish Lodewijk

  5. It is because the Germanic Franks conquered Gaul. But they mostly don’t have the same roots beyond both being indo-european anyway The French are Gallo-Roman and not really Frankish

  6.  @julesvandermolen4919  Yes I know, and Dutch is modern Frankish

  7.  @dorderre  Their noble house doesn’t legally exist anyway. Obviously they probably wouldn’t consider those men part of their family, but they are just as noble as the others who weren’t adopted

  8. It is a shame we have a monarchy to begin with

  9. Clearly there is a difference to people between giving a man who was the last of an era a state funeral (which happens to non monarch as well) and having an actual monarchy

  10.  @multifandomnerd1328  Do you have to like Stalin to watch a video about him?

  11.  @lightyagami3492 It didn’t really slowly rot away. It was ended because of Napoleon’s humiliation of the Empire and Austria. Not as a result of the divided nature of the Empire. On top of that they replaced it with a slightly less confusing but equally divided confederation anyway

  12. That is comical, the larp is real

  13.  @Arjonko  I don’t see that happening, Dutch people are very prone to accept the status quo, it would have to take a massive upset

  14.  @KingJohnMichael  Most? At best you could say Austria and Germany were. And I admit I know nothing about the situation in Austria, but the German Emperor was definitely also overthrown because the German government feared communist anti-monarchy revolutions. They forced the Emperor to go in direct response to just such a threat in Berlin On top of that, the lack of a monarch is hardly why there was instability. Italy’s monarchy wasn’t immune to Mussolini, and you have absolutely no clue what a potential Wilhelm III would have done had he been faced with the 1929 economic crash and the subsequent rise of extremism (both in nazism and communism).

  15.  @noorbohamad5796  No lmao, that isn’t how it works

  16. This has happened many times in recent history. The Dutch royal family applied the same principle. And they did it a century ago

  17.  @Oosh21  Well one Charles got the monarchy back. And I am guessing the current Charles isn’t superstitious enough to let it impact him

  18.  @greywolf7577  Bit over generalization and over-simplification there

  19.  @OogaBooga-tq7jc  Yes, it is what Denmark, Norway and Belgium that have direct ties to any modern German town and haven’t completely abandoned the connection (like the Winsdors or even the family Orange-Nassau though theirs is a bit of a border case). There are far far more families larping as nobility without towns that happen to also be the origin of a foreign royal house

  20.  @Edmonton-of2ec  Yeah it is good the Hohenzollerns were forced to drop their case for “their” possessions in East Germany

  21.  @tibsky1396  Most people aren’t nobles so yeah, that is what I said the French people (and culture) isn’t really Frankish

  22.  @greywolf7577 But claims don’t mean anything on their own, so they are pretending

  23. Quite fitting for an institution of privileged babies to lose out because they were acting like privileged babies

  24.  @EuIenspiegel No lmao, maybe the first couple generations were German. But British royals today aren’t German in any way
    3
  25.  @EuIenspiegel  And they don’t think of themselves as German
    3
  26.  @EuIenspiegel  You seriously think Charles thinks of himself as a German? They probably don’t even think of themselves as Saxe Coburg. Given that that isn’t their name and it has little to fo with them
    3
  27.  @EuIenspiegel  Sure and I doubt he thinks he is Vlach
    3
  28.  @EuIenspiegel  That a random Vlach (Vlad) doesn’t make Charles Romanian. Just as a German ancestor doesn’t make him German

  29. He undoubtedly had a bigger realm than Charlemagne did

  30.  @Vaelor.B  The HRE was outright referred to as a German realm, not a kingdom though. Anyway you are thinking about this in black and white too much

  31. Doesn’t matter because either you probably know that Æthelread and unready actually mean well advised and poorly advised, or you don’t and the humor will be lost on you anyway

  32.  @ZwaartEntertainment  They call themselves Franks, but they aren’t actually Franks. They, like the French, just inherited the name as a result of Frankish conquest of the region. Also Old Frankish/Low Franconian is not just a term for regional languages that happen to not belong to any of the other ones. That would imply Dutch isn’t actually Frankish but that they just slapped the name old Frankish on it because it isn’t Saxo or something and that Dutch actually has nothing to do with Frankish. But that is ridiculous. The evidence for the southern Low Countries being the heartland of the Franks who settled in Rome (Salian Franks) is overwhelming. Dutch is descended from Old Frankish, and the main existing Frankish language today. Unlike East Frankish (the language of the Franks in Franconia) where the linguistic connection to old Frankish is unclear. They actually just have the name East Frankish for their language because it is unclear what orher group they would otherwise belong to. But there is no indication that when the Franks conquered the region in the 5-7th centuries that they saw these people as kin. Germans (and German regional languages) from Hesse, NRW and the Rheinland are all more Frankish than the Franken region is. The region around Cologne was the heartland of the Franks that remained east of the Rhine (Ripurian Franks). Their Frankish regional languages just got absorbed into standard German and are dying out Lastly, in traditional Dutch history the modern Dutch people are directly described as Franks, Saxons and Frisians. So it isn’t like the Dutch don’t see themselves as the descendants of the Franks or don’t call themselves as such. Especially in the regions below the Rhinez even though what is now Holland was also colonized by Franks, who either killed, drove out or assimilated the Frisians. The Saxons just live in the East

  33. Also French, despite the name, does not linguistically descend from Frankish. Frankish certainly influenced the Romance language spoken in Gaul which led to it being called French, but for the true descendants of the Franks and their language you have to look at the southern Netherlands, modern day Flanders, and various dialects in West Germany. One of the earliest examples Old Dutch/Old Low Frankish, is literally written in the Frankish Salic law. The French for the most part just inherited the name because they managed to hold onto the Karling dynasty the longest. But their connection to the actual Frankish people, who are still Germanic today, is weak at best.

  34. No it is not, it is an English video. Don’t whinge about it Francis

  35. You have less influence in choosing an Emperor (none) than in choosing the president

  36.  @Mimi.1001  Initially the position of being Emperor would have been inherently tied to the Roman Empire. But by the 20th century they weren’t larping as romans anymore. (Though the Germans kept it going for a long time)

  37. They are a Germanic ethnicity, part of them would become German (Ripurian) and part of them would become Dutch (Salian) More to the point though, when Lious “the German” ruled, German identity didn’t at all exist, so they couldn’t refer the him as such. Whereas obviously Germania as a geographic region is a much older concept. The 18th century name is obviously just a reflection of rising German nationalism.

  38.  @EuIenspiegel  Heredity succession doesn’t even necessarily always take the name of the house of the father anymore. Like the UK, where it is still Winsdor. The more salient point however is that being a member of a “German” house doesn’t make the person German. Like his mother who English and his father who identified himself as Danish (though born in Greece).

  39.  @EuIenspiegel  And? That doesn’t make Elizabeth German, because she wasn’t lmao

  40.  @Rockstone1969  Which is actually a ridiculous notion, like those kids could change their mind on their own too. Plus at this point Catholics are actually the biggest religious group in the country

  41. The terminology is a but vague, but there were explicit references to a German kingdom or a German royal title as early as the 11th and possibly the 10th century. Even if it had not defined borders, it was definitely a cultural concept and a title that was used
    2
  42.  @Vaelor.B  There are plenty of sources lmao Not my fault you are too lazy to check or something Just look up what the Italians called the state that laid in Germania, or what the function of the Arch-Bishop of Mainz was. Or why Henry II was called king of the Germans

  44. Actually having a debate over that is like paying with Monopoly money

  45.  @aureltoniniimperatorecomun4029  No they don’t. The origins of the Robertians themselves are uncertain to begin with. So proving any connection to them is basically impossible. And there are certainly no reliable records proving any descent from a Merovingian king.

  46.  @aureltoniniimperatorecomun4029  No it isn’t, it is speculation at best. Weird propaganda fantasy at worst

  47.  @KarabauPlay  Actually, Otto would also have been just a Roman Emperor. The holy roman part comes from the 13th century. Otto is seen as the first “holy” Roman Emperor because there was direct continuity between his title and the later name change. But if you want to be completely accurate, he wouldn’t have called himself a Holy Roman Emperor, and neither would his descendants for a few hundred yest

  48.  @dlasky He didn’t really. They actual reason they sacked the city is because they acted as mercenaries to one Emperor who got overthrow and the new guy didn’t want to pay them. So they just took the city lmao

  49. He wasn’t Holy Roman Emperor, just Roman Emperor

  50. Magna Frisia is not really relevant for this. It was the Franks who would become the Dutch who drove them out of most of the area to begin with The Orange-Nassau family is centuries after this happened and thwy have literally nothing to do with it
