dynasty
n.
succession of rulers from the same family, rule of such a family
Dynasty
A dynasty is a succession of rulers who belong to the same family for generations. A dynasty is also often called a "
house", e.g. the
House of Saud or
House of Habsburg. In the histories of
Europe, much of
Asia and some of
Africa,
ruling and
noble houses have usually been
patrilineal;
inheritance and
kinship being predominantly viewed and legally calculated through descent from a common ancestor in the male line. Often, however, if the male lineage died out, descendants through females (and sometimes the females themselves) were recognized as entitled to inherit the dynasty's
realms and/or wealth.
