Who here, to their best knowledge, descends from nobility or monarchy? Examples: English knights, Polish szlachta, Swedish frälse, Turkish sipahi, Japanese samurai...etc.
I admit family background of early modern Swedish military nobility (frälse) plus bastard lineage from one Swedish king, whose name shall go unmentioned...

Commoners stay out!

I have noble blood. In a mason jar. On the shelf in my shed.

What's your address?

A great-uncle stole a bunch of monogrammed silverware from King Petar II's residence when the latter ran when the Germans attacked. So there is that.

Drank a few Sam Adams last night... They contained Noble hops...

Guessing some of it is still in the blood stream.

Sipahi? Hmmm... no

I may have horse's blood in my veins though, I'm THAT Turkish.

I'm pretty sure we've always been rowing in the slave galley, or traveling to the front as an expendable weapon for the crown. On the positive side, it looks like we've got some carney blood in us.

I learned that Prince William is something like my 10th cousin.

And then I learned that a shitload of people can say the same thing, and I felt less special.

I got me some.
Henry the VIII's Controller of the Army. He was knighted so that technically means nobility.

You bet, my blood is blueish.

I don't have anyone's blood.

I share a last name with a bunch of old English nobles (Saxon, really) but so do a ton of unrelated people.

Means fuck-all.

Family name is Saxon, but comes through a long line of Kentucky hillbillies. I'm adopted and carry the blood of guidos.

Some folks from some institute over UK way contacted Uncle Bill on a castle/keep in wales. Apparently he was the oldest surviving descendant from some line, or another. He declined it. And that was the last we heard of it.

I am a descendant of the Howard family. Third largest slave owner in NC at one point I believe, and from the royal Howard line.

I am probably something like 9718th in line for the throne of England.

The last person in my family to have the name that I know of was my great grandmother Howard.

We are nothing but commoners now.

Being noble is a character trait to me, not a bloodline. I despise the entire concept of nobility/royalty by birth.

Ever see the movie "entrapment" with Catherine zeta jones and Sean Connery?

Not what I would call noble. I'm descended from a family in trading and banking.

My ancestors are mentioned in the one of the Icelandic sagas according to grandma. I'll try to dig up some names when I get home.

Normally I'd call bullshit on a claim like that but she's been working on family genealogy for 60 or so years. That and calling bullshit on grandma just ain't right.

If ancestory.com is to be believed, I am a descendant of Edward I (aka "Longshanks") from one of his daughters.

This is like asking who has indIan blood.

Everyone is 1/64th slapahoe and related to William Wallace or charlemagne on the other side

Old ladies in middle America with a copy of a genealogy program are literally rewriting history.

A few Viking petty warlords and chieftains. They called themselves "kings," but I'm pretty sure that's because nobody in the house wanted another drunken brawl and humored them.

No family estates, no ancient names, no crest or seal. About as common as the Pennsylvania dirt we came from.

One of my oldest ancestors has been traced to Llewelyn Ap Robin (Ap meaning "Son of", so I supposed the oldest would technically be Robin and not Llewelyn), born in 1440 in Pen Y Berth, Wales and his wife Efa ferch Rhys (ferch being "daughter of").

On the other side of my family there is Gijsbert Willemsz Krom, b. 1595 in Opijnen, Holland and husband of Lysbeth Krom (nee Corelisdr).

So as far as I know, I come from a very long, prestigious line of poor commoners. Figures.

I hit the Kings at William II also.

The coolest part of the search was when I found out I was related to Rollo the Viking.

1)Yngvi-Frey King Of The Swedes
Born in Uppsala, Sweden, about 235 A.D.

His queen was Gerd Gymersdotter.

Father was king before him, named Njord.

2) Fornjotur King In Kvenland
Born about 160 A.D.

His son, Kari Fornjotsson was king after him.

That's the farthest back I got, royally speaking.

All I'm aware of is on my mothers side in 8th Century Switzerland. A low level nobleman. He did something to distinguish himself in service of the local nobleman. For that, he was awarded a patent of nobility and was permitted to take a last name. That is the origin of Mom's maiden name.
The whole royal, noble thing is lost on me. I'm an American. I don't give a damn.

I decree this in my Shakesperian English accent:

I am and will always be the King of My castle.............................................well at least when my wife isn't home.....and my 14 yr. old daughter for that matter.

I have Lordship over my two subjects.......my ever loyal dogs.....frickin' cat hates me.

It's been happening for a long long time. My family's history includes a link to a Welsh King, it comes from a fake record produced by a respected genealogist back in the 1800's when he went to England and couldn't find any records, but needed a story to make his client happy.
