Genealogy of kings

The genealogy of kings traces the lineage and ancestral relationships of monarchs, showing how royal families pass down power through generations. It maps family trees to identify origins, marriages, alliances, and succession rights, often illustrating intricate connections across royal houses. Genealogies help verify legitimacy, understand historical alliances, and establish claims to thrones. These family histories are documented through chronicles, inscriptions, and official records, providing a framework to analyze how dynasties evolve, merge, or decline over time, shaping the political and cultural history of nations.
