What Does Dynasty Mean?

Answer Question

2 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Dynasty is a consecutive series of monarchs from the same family lineage. It refers to a familial grouping that preserves power and authority for many generations together. A dynasty always has a string of rulers consecutively. If the string is broken, so is the dynasty.

    A dynasty is often referred to as a house. For example, the 'House of Habsburg'. Dynasty is used to depict the time period for which the particular family ruled as well. Incidents, developing trends and artefacts that emerged during this period as also described using the dynasty name. in similar instances, the word 'dynasty' is usually omitted but the given name is often used as an adjective. For example, 'Tudor style house.'
    Most of the political past of Europe was subjugated, consecutively and collectively, by dynasties like the Bourbons, the Stuarts, and the Carolingians etc.

    It was a granted condition that a ruler was supposed to enlarge his dynasty in order to increase the territorial control, as well as wealth and authority of the family. This practice went on till the 19th century.
