As we are all learning about Roman Catholicism in the Catholic thread, I saw that some people were confused about which religions were Protestant religions. I felt perhaps there can be a forum of learning and discussing the many Protestant religions that exist today and the Royals who practice...

When the title of Defender of the Faith was bestowed on Henry VIII by Pope Leo X for his defense of Catholicism against Martin Luther, it was a much coveted title. However, when Henry overthrew the Pope's authority and created his own church (albeit a very Catholic one), doesn't it make you...

I just finished reading The Serpent and The Moon and was shocked at how good it really was. Princess Michael actually did a good job, but I disagreed with her about the degree Catherine de Medici was dabbling in witchcraft. Leonie Frieda's book gives a smaller role to this activity by...

George IV (1762-1830) Before the collapse of the marriage of Charles and Diana, there was another feuding Prince and Princess of Wales--George and Caroline of Brunswick. Their ill-fated marriage, separation, fights, and media ploys (even back then) can make Charles and Diana's marriage look...

Here is Queen Mary when she was the fiancee of The Duke of Clarence and Avondale: http://members3.boardhost.com/Warholm/

In my opinion, you cannot have a discussion of French Royalty or a French Royalty subsite without Louis XIV Le Roi Soleil (the Sun King). The man famously quoted for saying "'L'Etat, C'est Moi" (I am the state) was born 9 months after a strange incident between his parents, Louis XIII and Anne...

It does have to do with that thissal. King George V wanted to help his cousin the Tsar but if he offered him asylum in England, the country would have went into an uproar. The Tsarina was a German Princess who was a first cousin to George V and the Kaiser. At a time when the British Royals...

Recently, I met someone from the Kingdom of Buganda, which is within the country of Uganda in Africa. The monarchy has been reinstated and the King married in 1999 to a woman named Silvia, a graduate of NYU, and a citizen of Buganda. Does anyone know anything about this African monarchy?? My...

I recently acquired a book called Royal Misbehavior: Crazy Kings and Kooky Queens by David Randall. Who do you think has been the craziest royal in history and why??? I am curious to hear if any of the responses match my book--there are some in here I never knew ;)

Here we go--we talk about the royal ladies, but not the royal men. My vote goes to Crown Prince Felipe with Crown Prince Pavlos in second place.
