Gen 1 Β· 1737 - 1809
Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke, known as Rama I, founded the Chakri dynasty in 1782 after the fall of the Thonburi kingdom and established Bangkok as the new capital of Siam on the east bank of the Chao Phraya River. Born in Ayutthaya in 1737, he rose through military ranks under King Taksin before taking the throne himself. As king, he rebuilt Siamese administration, law, and religion after decades of war with Burma, commissioning a revised legal code and restoring Buddhist temples and texts. His son with chief consort Amarindra, Isarasundhorn, succeeded him as Rama II. He reigned until his death in 1809 and remains the dynasty's namesake, its royal house named for his pre-royal title, Chao Phraya Chakri.
Gen 2 Β· 1767 - 1824
Buddha Loetla Nabhalai, known as Rama II, ruled Siam from 1809 to 1824 as the second monarch of the Chakri dynasty. Born in 1767, the son of Rama I and Queen Amarindra, he is remembered chiefly as a poet-king who revived Siamese literature and classical arts after the disruptions of the eighteenth century, personally composing verse and sponsoring the royal poets of his court. He fathered two sons who would each later reign as king: Prince Jessadabodindra, by consort Sri Sulalai, who became Rama III, and Prince Mongkut, by principal queen Sri Suriyendra, who became Rama IV. He died in Bangkok in 1824.
Gen 3 Β· 1788 - 1851
Phra Nangklao, known as Rama III, reigned as King of Siam from 1824 to 1851, succeeding his father Rama II ahead of his more senior half-brother, the future Rama IV. Born in 1788, he expanded Siam's trade with China and, later in his reign, with Western powers, while overseeing military campaigns that secured Siamese influence over Laos and Cambodia. A devout patron of Buddhism, he sponsored the restoration and construction of numerous temples, including Wat Pho and Wat Arun in Bangkok. He never married a principal queen and left no heir positioned to succeed him, so on his death in 1851 the throne passed to his half-brother Mongkut, who became Rama IV.
Gen 3 Β· 1804 - 1868
Mongkut, known as Rama IV, reigned as King of Siam from 1851 to 1868. Born in 1804, the son of Rama II and Queen Sri Suriyendra, he spent 27 years as a Buddhist monk, rising to become a respected scholar of Pali scripture, science, and Western languages, before his accession at age 47 following the death of his half-brother Rama III. As king he opened Siam to Western trade and diplomacy through treaties including the 1855 Bowring Treaty, while preserving the kingdom's independence during an era of European colonial expansion in Southeast Asia. His employment of British tutor Anna Leonowens later inspired a heavily fictionalized Western portrayal of his court. His son with Queen Debsirindra, Chulalongkorn, succeeded him as Rama V.
Gen 4 Β· 1853 - 1910
Chulalongkorn, known as Rama V, reigned as King of Siam from 1868 to 1910 and is regarded as one of the country's greatest modernizing monarchs. Born in 1853, the son of Rama IV and Queen Debsirindra, he abolished slavery and the prostration custom, reformed the civil service, judiciary, and tax system along Western lines, and built Siam's first railways and telegraph network, all while skillfully navigating British and French colonial pressure to keep the kingdom the only Southeast Asian state never colonized. With his consort Queen Saovabha Phongsri he had several sons who later reigned as kings, including Vajiravudh (Rama VI), Prajadhipok (Rama VII), and, through his son Prince Mahidol, grandsons Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII) and Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX). He died in 1910.
Gen 5 Β· 1880 - 1925
Vajiravudh, known as Rama VI, reigned as King of Siam from 1910 to 1925. Born in 1880, the son of Rama V and Queen Saovabha Phongsri, he was educated in Britain and became a prolific writer and translator, introducing Western drama and modern Thai literature to the court. He introduced the use of surnames in Siam, established the Wild Tiger Corps paramilitary organization, and brought Siam into the First World War on the Allied side in 1917. He had no son; a daughter was born to him only days before his death in 1925, so the throne passed to his younger brother, Prajadhipok, who became Rama VII.
Gen 5 Β· 1892 - 1929
Prince Mahidol Adulyadej was a son of King Rama V and Queen Saovabha Phongsri, and the father of two future kings, Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII) and Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX). Born in 1892, he studied public health and medicine at Harvard University in the United States, and is honored in Thailand as the father of modern medicine and public health for his work establishing medical education and hospital standards. He married Sangwan Talapat, later titled Srinagarindra, and the couple had three children. He died in 1929, well before either of his sons came to the throne, and never reigned himself.
Gen 6 Β· 1925 - 1946
Ananda Mahidol, known as Rama VIII, was King of Thailand from 1935 to 1946. Born in Heidelberg, Germany in 1925, the elder son of Prince Mahidol Adulyadej and Srinagarindra, he was still a schoolboy in Switzerland when he inherited the throne at age nine following his uncle Prajadhipok's abdication, and a regency governed in his name for most of his reign. He returned to Thailand only briefly as an adult before his sudden death at the Grand Palace in Bangkok in June 1946, at age twenty. He was succeeded by his younger brother, Bhumibol Adulyadej, as Rama IX.
Gen 6 Β· 1927 - 2016
Bhumibol Adulyadej, known as Rama IX, reigned as King of Thailand from 1946 until his death in 2016, the longest reign of any Thai monarch. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1927, the younger son of Prince Mahidol Adulyadej and Srinagarindra, he succeeded his elder brother Ananda Mahidol at age eighteen. Over seven decades he became a unifying figure through repeated political upheavals, sponsoring thousands of rural development projects on poverty, agriculture, and water management. He married Sirikit in 1950, and their four children were Ubolratana, Vajiralongkorn (later Rama X), Sirindhorn, and Chulabhorn. He died in Bangkok in 2016.
Gen 7 Β· b. 1951
Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya is the eldest child of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit, and the elder sister of King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X). Born in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1951, she gave up her royal titles in 1972 upon marrying an American, Peter Ladd Jensen, and lived in the United States for over two decades, working as an actress and businesswoman. Following her divorce, she returned to live in Thailand in the early 2000s and resumed an active public role in royal family events, though without reinstating her full royal title. She has remained largely engaged in charitable and film-related work.
Gen 1 Β· 1737 - 1826
Queen Amarindra (born Nak) was the chief consort of King Rama I and the first queen consort of the Chakri dynasty. Born around 1737 in Samut Songkhram, she married the future king before his rise to the throne and supported him through the turbulent years following the fall of Ayutthaya and the Thonburi period. As queen, she was known for her piety and patronage of Buddhist temples in the new capital of Bangkok. Her son Isarasundhorn succeeded his father as Rama II. She lived to see her son and grandson (Rama III) both reign, dying in 1826 at an advanced age, one of the longest-lived consorts of the early dynasty.
The House of Stuart was the royal dynasty that ruled Scotland from 1371 and both Scotland and England from 1603 until 1714, giving Britain fourteen monarchs from Robert II to Queen Anne as well as the Jacobite claimants who carried its cause into exile. Spelled Stewart in Scotland and Stuart after Mary, Queen of Scots adopted the French form, the family holds the unusual distinction of having united two crowns by inheritance rather than conquest, and of ending in a disputed succession that reshaped the British constitution. ## Origins The family took its name from its office. The Stewarts were hereditary High Stewards of Scotland, a post granted in the twelfth century to a Breton house settled in Renfrewshire. In 1315 Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward, married Marjorie Bruce, daughter of King Robert the Bruce. Their son became Robert II in 1371 when the direct Bruce line failed, and the stewardship turned into a crown. For more than two centuries afterwards the Stewarts ruled Scotland alone, through a run of reigns cut short by battle, captivity and long royal minorities that left the nobility unusually powerful. ## Notable members James IV, the most cultivated of the Scottish kings, married Margaret Tudor in 1503 and so planted the claim that would carry his descendants to the English throne. His granddaughter Mary, Queen of Scots became queen at six days old, reigned briefly and turbulently, and was deposed in 1567 and executed in England twenty years later. Her son, James VI of Scotland, inherited the English crown in 1603 as James I and became the first monarch to rule both kingdoms. His son Charles I lost the Civil Wars and his throne; Charles II returned at the Restoration in 1660; James II and VII was deposed in the Revolution of 1688, after which his daughters Mary II and Anne reigned in his place. In exile his son James Francis Edward Stuart and grandson Charles Edward Stuart, remembered as Bonnie Prince Charlie, led the Jacobite attempts to recover the throne, ending with the rising of 1745. ## Significance No other British dynasty changed the shape of the state so much. The Stuarts brought Scotland and England under one sovereign, presided over the King James Bible and the theatre of Shakespeare's late career, lost a king to Parliament, and provoked the settlements of 1689 and 1701 that made the monarchy answerable to Parliament and Protestant by statute. When Queen Anne died childless in 1714, the crown passed under the Act of Settlement to the descendants of her cousin Sophia of Hanover, granddaughter of James VI and I, so every British monarch since is still a Stuart descendant. | Fact | Details | | --- | --- | | Founder | Robert II, King of Scots from 1371 | | Ruled | Scotland 1371 to 1714; England and Ireland 1603 to 1714 | | Origin | Renfrewshire, Scotland | | Union of the Crowns | 1603, under James VI of Scotland and I of England | | Last reigning monarch | Anne, Queen of Great Britain, died 1714 | | Jacobite claimants | James Francis Edward, Charles Edward and Henry Benedict Stuart | | Succeeded by | The House of Hanover, through Sophia of Hanover |
The Rockefeller family is an American business and philanthropic dynasty founded on the Standard Oil fortune of John D. Rockefeller, whose descendants have shaped American banking, conservation, medicine, modern art and national politics across five generations. From a modest upstate New York farmhouse the family rose to control the largest industrial enterprise of the Gilded Age, then spent the twentieth century converting that fortune into foundations, museums, parks and public office. ## Origins The line begins with William Avery Rockefeller (1810-1906), a traveling salesman from Granger, New York, and his wife Eliza Davison (1813-1889), who married in 1837 and raised six children in Richford, Moravia and Owego before the family moved to Ohio. Their eldest son, John D. Rockefeller, began as a Cleveland bookkeeper, entered oil refining in 1863 and incorporated the Standard Oil Company in 1870 together with his younger brother William Rockefeller. By the 1880s Standard Oil refined the great majority of American petroleum, until the Supreme Court ordered its dissolution in 1911. ## Notable members John D. Rockefeller and Laura Spelman Rockefeller had four children who reached adulthood, among them the Chicago arts patron Edith Rockefeller McCormick and the family's only son, John D. Rockefeller Jr. With Abby Aldrich Rockefeller, a co-founder of the Museum of Modern Art, John Jr. had six children who defined the family's public face: Abby "Babs" Rockefeller Mauze, the philanthropist John D. Rockefeller III, Nelson Rockefeller, who served four terms as Governor of New York and then as Vice President of the United States, the conservationist and venture capitalist Laurance Rockefeller, Winthrop Rockefeller, Governor of Arkansas, and the banker David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan. Their children, known within the family as the Cousins, include Senator Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, the Asmat art collector Michael Rockefeller, Lieutenant Governor Winthrop Paul Rockefeller of Arkansas, the economist Neva Goodwin and the Synergos founder Peggy Dulany. ## Significance The family's lasting mark is institutional rather than dynastic. The Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Chicago, Rockefeller University, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Rockefeller Center, the Museum of Modern Art, Colonial Williamsburg, Lincoln Center, the Asia Society and several national parks all trace their founding or their endowment to a Rockefeller. Few American families have moved so completely from industrial fortune to organized philanthropy and elected office within three generations. | Fact | Details | | --- | --- | | Surname | Rockefeller | | Origin | Richford, New York, United States | | Founder | John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) | | Family business | Standard Oil, later Chase Manhattan Bank | | Known for | Standard Oil, the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Center, the Museum of Modern Art | | Public offices held | Vice President of the United States, Governor of New York, Governor of Arkansas, United States Senator | | Generations covered | Five, from William Avery Rockefeller to the fourth-generation Cousins |
The House of Bourbon is a European royal dynasty, descended in the male line from the Capetian kings of France, that ruled France from 1589 to 1792 and again from 1814 to 1848, and that still reigns in Spain today under King Felipe VI. Over four centuries its members also held the thrones of Navarre, Naples and Sicily, Parma and Etruria, which makes it one of the most widely established royal houses in European history. ## Origins The family takes its name from the lordship of Bourbon in the Auvergne, centred on Bourbon-l'Archambault. Its royal line descends from Robert, Count of Clermont, a younger son of King Louis IX of France, whose marriage to Beatrice of Burgundy, heiress of Bourbon, carried the name into the Capetian house in 1272. For three centuries afterwards the Bourbons were powerful French princes of the blood rather than kings. That changed with Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Vendome, whose marriage to Jeanne d'Albret, queen regnant of Navarre, produced Henry of Navarre. When the Valois line died out in 1589, Henry was the senior Capetian heir, and he took the French throne as Henry IV. ## Notable members Henry IV ended the French Wars of Religion and issued the Edict of Nantes in 1598. His son Louis XIII, guided by Cardinal Richelieu, built the centralised state that Louis XIV, the Sun King, carried to its height across a reign of seventy-two years, the longest of any European sovereign, and to the palace of Versailles. Louis XV and then Louis XVI inherited that system, and Louis XVI and his queen, Marie Antoinette, were swept away by the French Revolution in 1792. The dynasty returned with Louis XVIII in 1814 and Charles X in 1824, and in 1830 the crown passed to Louis Philippe I of the cadet House of Orleans, the last king to rule in France. ## The Spanish branch In 1700 the childless Charles II of Spain left his crown to Philip, Duke of Anjou, a grandson of Louis XIV. Philip became Philip V, the first Bourbon king of Spain, at the cost of the War of the Spanish Succession, which ended with his renunciation of any claim to the French throne. His descendants include the reforming Charles III, Ferdinand VII, Isabella II, Alfonso XII and Alfonso XIII, who left Spain in 1931. The monarchy was restored in 1975 under Juan Carlos I, grandson of Alfonso XIII, who presided over Spain's transition to democracy and abdicated in 2014 in favour of his son Felipe VI. Felipe's elder daughter Leonor, Princess of Asturias, is heir to the throne. ## Significance No other family links the absolute monarchy of Versailles to a working constitutional monarchy in twenty-first century Madrid. Bourbon marriages tied the house to the Habsburgs of Austria and Spain, the dukes of Savoy, the Medici of Florence and the British royal family, so a Bourbon family tree doubles as a map of European dynastic politics from the Reformation to the present day. | Fact | Details | | --- | --- | | Family name | House of Bourbon (Maison de Bourbon, Casa de Borbon) | | Place of origin | Bourbon-l'Archambault, Auvergne, France | | Founder of the line | Robert, Count of Clermont (1256-1317), son of Louis IX | | First king of France | Henry IV, reigned 1589 to 1610 | | Last king to rule France | Louis Philippe I, reigned 1830 to 1848 | | First king of Spain | Philip V, reigned 1700 to 1746 | | Head of the house in Spain | King Felipe VI, since 2014 | | Heir in Spain | Leonor, Princess of Asturias | | Principal seats | Versailles, Fontainebleau, the Louvre, the Royal Palace of Madrid |
