All people are descended via various racial or ethnic lines of antiquity, but in the case of most, records do not exist. The British Royal Family is one of the few families, for whom ancestry can be traced to many notable lineages of the antiquity. They can be traced from Saxon, Scottish (Stuart dynasty), Welsh (Tudor dynasty), Irish, German (Hanover and Windsor), French (Norman and Angevin), Russian, Frank and perhaps even Byzantine lineages.

Irish connection

  • Isabella de Clare (shown in the first chart) had descended from Brian Boru, High King of Ireland.
  • Another descent from Brian Boru is through the current queen's mother, through the dynasty of Thomond [this lineage has been publicly claimed by the British Royal Family (see Pretender#Ireland).
