What is alt.talk.royalty?alt.talk.royalty is an unmoderated newsgroup created for the purpose of discussion ofall aspects of royalty and nobility of any time period anywhere in the world. There is nomailing list gated to this group. Please remember that one cannot subscribe to orunsubscribe from alt.talk.royalty via a mailing list, as is the case, e.g.,for soc.genealogy.medieval.alt.talk.royalty was first proposed in December 1994 and was created in February1995 (according to:ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/control/alt/alt.talk.royalty)Despite the FAQ compiler's efforts, it has not been determined who beganalt.talk.royalty nor who is responsible for composing its charter.The charter states: "The group is oriented to discussion of royalty and nobility of allnationalities, both present day and historical. Discussions of the British royal family, thepossibility of a restored Russian monarchy, Henry VIII's foibles, and the forms of addressused in the Spanish court would all be appropriate. Advertising and commercialism arenot welcome, especially since everyone knows that involvement in retail commerce resultsin attainder!"All those who have access to alt.talk.royalty and are interested in royalty and nobilityare encouraged to participate. (Before interested individuals "discovered" alt.talk.royaltyand began posting to it regularly, they posted their questions in rec.heraldry.) The scopeof the group encompasses topics such as the sovereigns or rulers of nations, royal andnoble genealogies, vital statistics (births, marriages, deaths), lines of succession, royalresidences, biographies, current events, pretenders or claimants to thrones, mistressesand illegitimate children, so on and so forth.alt.talk.royalty is not here for the glorification of royalty. All views, positive, negativeand in-between, are permitted. We are here to talk about royalty and nobility. You will find, however, most people who post to alt.talk.royalty talk in favor of royalty and that they are not anti-royalist. You can express anti-royalist sentiments, but it is a fair assumption that you will get a heated and vociferous response. Royalty discussions can bring out the best and the worst in people; they engender strong emotions and opinions.alt.talk.royalty has in its midst authors, genealogists, historians, journalists and other such posters (and lurkers). Some of our members post to the group while others preferto lurk. Our members are international: as of this edition of the FAQ, the majority arefrom the United States, while the rest are from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France,Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Sweden and the United Kingdom.Back to Table of Contents2. How do I access alt.talk.royalty?alt.talk.royalty is an Internet (or Usenet) newsgroup. To access it, you need a "client" (software application) on your computer and access to a "news (or Usenet) server". The client will connect to the server, retrieve the posts, and send your own replies. The server will then disseminate your posts to the rest of the world.If you have access to the Web, your web browser can serve as client, and you can accessa server over the Web. See Yahoo directory for "Usenet servers" for a list.Google Groups (http://groups.google.com) also offers access.Alternatively, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and ask them if they have anews server and what software they provide to connect to it. Again, your web browsercan serve as a news client to connect to the news server.Back to Table of Contents3. Welcome to alt.talk.royalty!This purpose of this chapter is to provide useful information for new members ofalt.talk.royalty. First-time users, or even those who've been here a few times, havefound the newsgroup's atmosphere intimidating. When posting for the first time, somepeople find themselves the object of criticism or downright abuse. The new-to-the-groupposter might not understand that that kind of behavior happens with regularity in newsgroups.And so, at the suggestion of some alt.talk.royalty regulars, the FAQ compiler andmaintainer has developed this section which will hopefully explain the personalities of theregular members as well as provide tips on how to "survive" in alt.talk.royalty.One of the first things that is noticeable about alt.talk.royalty is that it has a dualpersonality. Some days, it has a pleasant, quiet, stress-free atmosphere, while on otherdays it can be testy, noisy and combative. Some days, it can be academic and instructivein tone, yet gossipy and disruptive on other days. It has been suggested that, generallyspeaking, the male members of alt.talk.royalty are competitive (with some positivelythriving on this), while the female members seem cooperative. For the most part,alt.talk.royalty's members are pro-royalty/monarchy. What sets us apart are ourpersonal perspectives and biases.alt.talk.royalty has quite an interesting mix of people. While we can't tell you about thelurkers (they obviously prefer to remain anonymous), we can tell you about those whopost with some regularity. There are authors (Greg King, author ofThe Last Empress;Marlene Koenig, author under the name of Marlene A. Eilers, of Queen Victoria'sDescendants; Peter Kurth, author of Anastasia: The Riddle of Anna Anderson;Ted Rosvall, author of Bernadotte-Attlingar; William Addams Reitwiesner, author ofThe American Ancestors and Relatives of Lady Diana Frances Spencer, Guy StairSainty, author of The Orders of Chivalry and Merit of the Bourbon TwoSiciliesDynasty, Daniel Willis, author under the name of Daniel Brewer-Ward ofThe House ofHabsburg: a genealogy of the descendants of Empress Maria Theresia), art dealer(Guy Stair Sainty), author (Grant Hayter-Menzies), lawyer (Patrick Cracroft-Brennan), librarian (Noel McFerran), medical doctor (Sam Dotson), university professors (Stephen Stillwell, Peter Kurrild-Klitgaard, and JeffreyTaliaferro, the last two political scientists), some who share ancestors with royaltyor are descendants of royalty (Frank Johansen and Grant Menzies), and even an aristocrator two (Gilbert von Studnitz and Eric von Ehrenberg). Of course, there are also the average,everyday type of person who posts to alt.talk.royalty.If one observes alt.talk.royalty for some time, individual types become obvious and onefinds that they usually view and respond about royalty/monarchy in a predictable way.For example, there are the absolute monarchists (Louis Epstein, Noel McFerran), thegenealogists (Sam Dotson, Marlene Koenig, Steven Lavallee, William Addams Reitwiesner,Darren Shelton, Paul Theroff, Daniel Willis), the historians (François Velde), the legalists (Paul Johnson, Guy Stair Sainty), the legitimists (Dimitry Macedonsky), so on and so on. One can continue to categorize alt.talk.royalty's members into those types who enjoy the gossip/daily lives aspect of royalty, those whose only interest is the British royal family enthusiasts (with a subset focussed on Diana, Princess of Wales), those whoview royalty from a religious aspect, from a political aspect, so on and so forth.Some of alt.talk.royalty's members use an alias, but most post under their real names.Some posters have obvious favorite areas and share willingly their knowledge. Otherposters are more generalists, but share their knowledge with the same generosity. Someposters will only post or reply when their favorite topic comes up for discussion. Otherposters will reply to just about everything and anything. Some of the regulars alwaysprovide references for their replies which can annoy some people, while others feel ituseful and informative. Other posters never cite their sources. Some posters reply toquestions succinctly while others provide mini-essays. Some posters will point out spellingand grammar errors while others never do so. Some posters reply to others in a light-hearted way while others are business-like. Some posters will criticize another member'squestion for whatever reason, while other posters will reply kindly and helpfully. Someposters have strong beliefs and won't budge an inch when discussing a particular topic,while others seem flexible and willing to see other points of view. Lastly, some of thenastier posters (and they are only a handful, thankfully) almost always use foul language,are rude and hurtful and seem to be in alt.talk.royalty only to disrupt the group.New members and not-so-new ones will probably realize at this point that given thesetypes of personalities, it would not be easy to post with confidence in alt.talk.royalty.The FAQ compiler and maintainer has received emails from people who feel they'vebeen poorly treated by the regulars. Because of this, they chose to lurk instead of postingin the group or vow never to return to alt.talk.royalty. Some posters almost alwaysbehave in a certain way and their criticisms shouldn't be taken personally because that ishow they behave to just about everyone. It is almost guaranteed that when a person poststo a newsgroup he or she will eventually be criticized or abused. Please don't beintimidated by the bad manners of some and leave alt.talk.royalty too soon. There arelots of us who welcome newcomers and we appreciate your ideas and input!Back to Table of Contents4. History of the alt.talk.royalty FAQThere was talk in early 1996 of creating a FAQ for alt.talk.royalty and some workfor one had been started by members of the group. It did not materialize into a finishedproduct, however. A few months later, in August 1996, another member of the group(Mark Odegard) posted a titles FAQ to the group. It was called "A Glossary ofEuropean Noble, Princely, Royal, and Imperial Titles". (It can now be found on theWWW at:http://www.heraldica.org/topics/odegard/titlefaq.htm.)Nonetheless, alt.talk.royalty remained without a general, all-purpose FAQ until May 1997.At that time, a rough draft version of a FAQ was posted to the group; it had been createdby Yvonne Demoskoff with the help of several members. A number of additions, correctionsand suggestions were made over the next few months and by November 1997 the roughdraft was replaced with an official first version.In June 1998, the FAQ was posted once again to the newsgroup but this time it was in twodistinct parts: one was called the Brit-FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions for alt.talk.royalty -British Royal & Noble Families) and the other was called the non-Brit-FAQ (FrequentlyAsked Questions for alt.talk.royalty - Non-British Royal & Noble Families).In August 1998, François Velde took over the maintenance of the various alt.talk.royaltyFAQs.Back to Table of Contents5. Basic newsgroup "netiquette".Before posting to any Usenet group, please read the introductory articles in thenewsgroup news.announce.newusers. There, Emily Postnews will help you throughsome netiquette you need to know before posting.We highly recommend "lurking", that is, reading messages without posting anything for afew weeks so that you get an idea of how people typically phrase their postings. This willalso give you an idea of the flow of the newsgroup, the personalities of the regulars, andthe like. The easiest way to learn how to post in a.t.r. is to watch how others do it. Startby reading the posts and try to figure out what people are doing and why. After a fewweeks, you will start to understand why certain things are done and what things shouldn'tbe done.Occasionally, you will see trolls (strong worded postings intended only to provoke a lotof replies), flames and off-topic posts. The best way to deal with these kinds of postingsis to ignore them. If your newsreader program allows the use of a kill-file make use of itto filter out undesirable postings. Alternatively, if you see a blatantly offensive message,do not respond with another post. Instead, send a strong complaint to<postmaster@posters.site> and <abuse@posters.site>.One last point to remember concerning inappropriate behavior: our newsgroup, incommon with other newsgroups, has its share of people who seek to disrupt the groupcollectively and/or its posters individually. alt.talk.royalty and its FAQ might not havean official policy as to how one should deal with such disruptive behavior, but it cansuggest the following: DNFTEC. This stands for "Do Not Feed The EnergyCreature". An energy creature's favorite feeding tactic is to try to hurt people's feelingsor get them angry. The Energy Creature can then feed off the pain and anger it hasgenerated. Its second favorite tactic is to hurt one person or the group's feelings whilegathering the sympathy of others. That way, when the injured party lashes back, otherswill jump to the Energy Creature's defense. The Energy Creature feeds off the attentionand the negative energy generated by the people fighting. Newsgroups will never becompletely rid of such obnoxious, offensive and ill-mannered beings, but much can bedone to keep the situation under control by remembering this simple formula: DNFTEC.If the Energy Creature gets a response, it gets stronger. If it is ignored, it will eventuallyweaken, wither and go away. Remember: do not to feed the energy creatures.Back to Table of Contents6. What kind of postings are appropriate in alt.talk.royalty?We are an unmoderated newsgroup. The only things not allowed here are thingsprohibited by Usenet protocol, such as spams (the posting of off-topic material to manyUsenet groups) and illegal postings (e.g. chain letters, sending non-exportable things,threatening to kill people). However, inappropriate topics or posts are those which arecompletely unrelated to royalty and nobility.Attachments, whether they are text (batch files, system files) or binaries (audio, video,pictures such as .JPGs, .GIFs, .TIFs and the like, programs, and "web" files such asHTML, HTM, SHTML) are also inappropriate. Binaries must be kept in groups withbinaries in the name; they cannot appear in alt.talk.royalty. If news administrators findbinaries in a.t.r., they could kill the group and move it to the alt.binaries section. A betterway of dealing with binaries is to post the binary in a binaries group and to write a note ina.t.r. telling the group where the particular binary can be found. In other words, do notpost anything other than plain text in our non-binary newsgroup.Posts which refer to royalty and nobility in a negative way (such as suggesting that onemonarchy in particular, or all monarchies in general should be overthrown), while notoff-topic, will usually get no response. Most of the posters in alt.talk.royalty are fullyaware of the strengths and weaknesses of hereditary systems, and are participating in thisnewsgroup to explore the intricacies of these systems, rather than to engage in flamewarswith persons who are opposed to the idea of these systems.Patently offensive remarks are inappropriate.Back to Table of Contents7. Examples of "good" and "bad" posts.Let's begin with "bad" posts:"Please tell me EVERYTHING about Princess Diana.""I need to know ALL the people in line to the British throne; my homework is duetomorrow!""I'm looking for information about the kings of England."-- these types of posts are usually met with well deserved sarcasm or risk beingcompletely ignored"So-and-so is an idiot and should be shot!"-- personal comments or attacks on a.t.r. members have no place in a royalty newsgroup;take it to private e-mail, if you must"This is a test."-- there isn't any reason to test alt.talk.royalty, the system works fine. If you have totest something, do it in a group with 'test' in it such as alt.test or misc.test.And now "good" posts:"Who succeeded King George II?""Why does Queen Elizabeth II celebrate her birthday in April and in June?""Where is King Henry VIII buried?""Can someone tell me how King George V and Tsar Nicholas II are related?"(these "bad" and "good" posts are examples only and will not be necessarily found inthe FAQ)Points to Remember: when the topic in a post has changed, please reflect that in the subject heading byindicating the new subject and including a reference to the old subject heading we suggest reading all the existing responses to a query before posting one's ownresponse; maybe the question has already been answered, and the name of the game isnot to show off how much one knows people don't like to read things again and again; therefore, try to avoid large quotes;quote only what you respond to please keep the lines of your messages to under 70 characters; long lines will overflowwhen quoted by others and become very difficult to read remember, it is generally considered rude to post private e-mail correspondencewithout the permission of the author of that mail be careful about infringing upon copyrights and licenses; when quoting, do not usemore of the work than is necessary to make your commentary; for more information oncopyright, read "Copyright Myths FAQ: 10 big myths about copyright explained" foundat the following URL: http://www.clari.net/brad/copymyths.html posts may be in any language, but will probably be understood by the largest audienceif in EnglishBack to Table of Contents8. Are there archives where I can find older posts on a subject?Most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not keep posts for more than one or two weeks. Therefore, to find older posts, head over to the WWW and check out"Google Groups" (formerly known as Deja News) at: http://groups.google.com/groups?as_ugroup=alt.talk.royaltyOnce there, you will be able to search old posts back to April 1995.This is also a good starting point to see what questions have already been asked in our newsgroup. It's possible that yourparticular question has already been asked.Back to Table of Contents9. What other newsgroups and chat groups are there?Some newsgroups that deal with royalty and/or related subjects are: alt.gossip.royalty rec.heraldry (discussions of coats of arms and of the honors they can depict) soc.genealogy.medieval (discussions of genealogy, royal or otherwise, mainly ofthe Middle Ages) soc.history soc.history.ancient soc.history.medievalN.B.: not all ISPs carry "alt." and "clari." newsgroups; however, they can be accessedby visiting the Google Groups web site at:http://groups.google.comWe suggest that you find out more about these newsgroups by reading their FAQs,if available, or by lurking, so that you post your queries in the appropriate group andnot haphazardly cross-post to all of them.America Online (AOL) features chat groups about royalty for its members. The royaltychats meet almost daily and the topics range from discussions about the late Diana, Princessof Wales to the Romanovs to the Tudors.Back to Table of Contents10. Can I sell or advertise in this newsgroup?Usenet procedures heavily discourage advertising in newsgroups not specifically designedfor commerce. Having said that, one-time offers to sell or buy books, and such, aboutBritish royalty and nobility, will be tolerated. Those who wish to regularly advertiseshould post their messages in the appropriate newsgroups (for example,alt.genealogy.marketplace).Back to Table of Contents11. Where can I get the latest version of this FAQ?You can obtain the latest version of the FAQ by visiting its web site at:http://www.heraldica.org/faqs/atrfaq.htmlBack to Table of ContentsPart II: Royal Families of the World1. Are there other monarchies in the world besides England?We're glad you asked this question because it certainly seems to many people that the United Kingdom (aka England) has the monopolyon "royalty" and "royal family". The U.K. is but one of thirty-one monarchies left today. Note that this list does not includeCommonwealth monarchies where Queen Elizabeth II is a monarch ofan independent monarchy (such as Canada or Australia, for example) nor does it include Vatican City (The Holy See).EUROPEGrand Duchy:LuxembourgKingdoms:Belgium DenmarkNetherlandsNorwaySpainSwedenUnited KingdomPrincipalities:Andorra (see Note 1)LiechtensteinMonaco AFRICAKingdoms:Lesotho Morocco Swaziland ASIAElected Monarchy:Malaysia (see Note 2)Empire:JapanKingdoms:BhutanCambodiaThailandSultanate:Brunei MIDDLE EASTEmirates:KuwaitQatarUnited Arab Emirates (see Note 4)Kingdoms:Bahrain (since 14/2/2002)JordanSaudi ArabiaSultanate:Oman OCEANIAKingdoms:TongaSamoa (see Note 5)Notes Andorra is a co-principality, under the suzerainty of the President of France and the Spanish Bishop of Urgel. Since 1993, these positions are almost purely honorary and they are considered titular Heads of States. Malaysia is a federation consisting of thirteen states: Johore, Kedah, Kelantan, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Penang, Perak, Perlis, Sabah, Sarawak, Selangor, Trengganu. Its Head of State (or, Supreme Head of Malaysia) is a monarch who is elected for a five-year term by and from the hereditary rulers of nine of the states. The United Arab Emirates became independent of the United Kingdom in 1971. They consist of seven sheikhdoms: Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ras al-Khaimah, Umm al-Qaiwain, Ajman, Fujairah. The Head of State is an elected President chosen from one of the hereditary rulers of the seven emirates. Western Samoa achieved independent status from New Zealand in 1962. Its Heads of State were two joint rulers, but in 1963 when one of them died, the other became sole Head of State for life. His late Highness Malietoa Tanumafili II performed the duties of a constitutional monarch but was not titled 'king'. The Head of State will be elected by the Legislative Assembly for a term of five years.Back to Table of Contents2.
