History of the House of Pomerania
The House of Griffins or House of Pomerania (German: Greifen; Polish: Gryfici), also known as House of Greifen, was a dynasty of dukes ruling the Duchy of Pomerania from the 12th century until 1637. The name "Griffins" was used by the dynasty after the 15th century and had been taken from the ducal coat of arms. Wartislaw I (around 1091 – died August 9, 1135) was the first historical ruler of the Duchy of Pomerania and the founder of the Griffin dynasty. The most prominent Griffin was Eric of Pomerania, who became king of the Kalmar Union in 1397, thus ruling Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Another Griffin, The last Griffin duke of Pomerania was Bogislaw XIV, who died during the Thirty Years' War, which led to the division of Pomerania between Brandenburg-Prussia and Sweden. Duchess Anna von Croy, daughter of Duke Bogislaw XIII and the last Griffin died in 1660.

The House of Pomerania became revived when Grand Prince Ludwig was elected and the house became known as the House of Pomerania and Livonia, due to the location of the Duchy which is situated in northern Germany and Poland the Grand Duchy is now in exile and has a claim but does not wish to act upon it, as Germany is a republic the heirs of the House of Pomerania and Livonia are classed as normal citizens and their titles are purely symbolic as such the Duchy has formed its own micro-nation to preserve its. Though today such royals of the house may wish to one day rebuild the monarch if they wish but only being the head of the house to make those decisions.

The remaining heirs to the House of Pomerania and Livonia are listed below from the highest title to the lowest. Not all heirs are tied to the house by blood, most are anointed by the head of the House Ludwig and become members because of donation or their honor to the Duchy. In such cases if Prince Ludwig were to be found to be no longer or passed and doesn't have a child to be the living successor than the title of being head of the house would pass down to the prince electors in line to that position such as it being passed to the family of Prince Elector Julien Devresse or Daniel or Rudy Salcedo or Folly Aboussa. When being anointed head of the house the princes will have to have an investiture ceremony taking oath before the German & Polish people, as well as the people and countries that were once apart of the Pomeranian kingdom. Those without the prefix of HSH (His/Her Serene Highness) are tied to the house through allegiance to the Grand Duchy of Pomerania and Livonia.Count Chris Paget and Countess Wendy Buckingham, Grand Prince Dante and Grand Princess Audrina Salvati being the most recent appointment to the royal house.
