A royal house groups the kings of one family line. Succession to the throne is shown on the kings page and is not the same as descent.
Every relationship here comes from a cited passage. Solid lines are stated parent links; dashed lines mean generations are not all listed; dotted lines mark legal or adoptive parents; a question mark marks a disputed or interpretive link. Political succession and office are never drawn as family.
