2017-05-04 23:14:05 UTC  

they're about 1500 or so years old

2017-05-04 23:14:12 UTC

2017-05-04 23:14:13 UTC

2017-05-04 23:14:21 UTC  

Habsburgs are almost there, but not quite

2017-05-04 23:14:29 UTC  

they were founded in 12th century or what ?

2017-05-04 23:14:36 UTC  

yeah and there are multiple hapsburgs

2017-05-04 23:14:47 UTC  

Russia had two, Rurkids and Romanovs

2017-05-04 23:14:52 UTC

2017-05-04 23:14:53 UTC

2017-05-04 23:15:11 UTC  

hohenzollern, wittelsbach

2017-05-04 23:15:28 UTC  

Russian Tsars after peter weren't russian

2017-05-04 23:15:32 UTC  

weren't really russian

2017-05-04 23:15:39 UTC  

None were technically Russian

2017-05-04 23:15:49 UTC  

Neither was Peter

2017-05-04 23:15:58 UTC  

They spoke Russian sure

2017-05-04 23:16:04 UTC  

Peter was a Romanov, the Romanovs were of Russian origin

2017-05-04 23:16:29 UTC  

his dynasty just fell apart and was replaced by another family also named romanov

2017-05-04 23:16:49 UTC  

due to his fucked up personal life and killing his own son

2017-05-04 23:16:56 UTC  

and putting his illiterate second wife on the throne

2017-05-04 23:17:06 UTC  

and basically giving his second wife to his best friend

2017-05-04 23:18:52 UTC  

People like to generalize and assume history is neat and tidy

2017-05-04 23:19:37 UTC  

or that primogeniture actually works when half the time it is a glorious fuck up

2017-05-04 23:20:01 UTC  

It's not necessary that it works perfectly at all

2017-05-04 23:20:03 UTC  

like William I -> William II -> Henry I -> Stephen / Mathilda -> Henry II

2017-05-04 23:20:16 UTC  

I dont consider these to be fuck ups

2017-05-04 23:20:18 UTC  

William II, Stephen, amd Mathilda were massive fuck ups

2017-05-04 23:20:18 UTC  

Nothing works perfectly

2017-05-04 23:20:24 UTC  

They are massive fuck ups

2017-05-04 23:20:34 UTC  

Stephen and Matilda worse than William II

2017-05-04 23:20:40 UTC  

Some Monarchs are bad but Monarchy is always good
