Talk:Louis IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt

Royal descendants - break up the page?
Up until the death of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, John William Friso, Prince of Orange and his wife were the most recent common ancestors (MRCA) to all European monarchs. With the accession of King Charles III, who descends from Landgrave Louis IX through his father, the MRCAs are now Louis and his wife Charlotte. I have added one line of descent from this couple to each ruling monarch. I have included each of their children and grandchildren who are most likely to inherit the respective thrones.

This makes the page quite a bit longer. For John William Friso, this has been solved by breaking up his page and creating Royal descendants of John William Friso. That picture has a picture of each of the current reigning monarchs, as well as more detailed lines, since due to intermarriage there are often multiple paths between a given monarch and the MRCA. It is also likely that Louis IX is an ancestor to dethroned/claimant royal families, and it seems it would make sense to include them as well.

So, should we create Royal descendants of Louis IX, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt?? Amorim Parga (talk) 15:08, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

 * There. Two cases where the current pretender is not immediately discernible as a descendant of Louis IX but his spouse is, and ten where no obvious descent can be traced. Digging deeper might well show some line of direct descent for these twelve remaining pretenders. Amorim Parga (talk) 16:16, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
