I actually think I invest way too much time on digging around in it. :) I wasn't implying that one house founded the other. Jean, Count of Luxembourg became King of Bohemia and founded that dynasty in Bohemia. They've been celebrating the accession in Czech for more than a year. It seems only fitting that the current monarch of Luxembourg participate in the celebrations in some fashion. <br /><br />I think I should steal your comment and include it in my forthcoming entry about the second day of Henri's visit to Czech for the 700th celebrations. ;)<br /><br />The government of Luxembourg publishes a nice brochure on the history of the monarchy in Luxembourg. It is simple and fairly short. It includes information from the founding of Luxembourg to the present. I recommend it to anyone interested. <br /><br />http://www.gouvernement.lu/publications/download/grandducalfamily.pdfCarolina https://www.blogger.com/profile/00544805975432249553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130813892118656644.post-25198672842785984022010-11-24T21:05:33.251+01:002010-11-24T21:05:33.251+01:00Actually, the Counts of Laurenburg are the ancesto...Actually, the Counts of Laurenburg are the ancestors of the House of Nassau. The House itself has no exact founding date because births and deaths are either not recorded or the records have been destroyed. Because of that, the founding date is the first mention in annals found in an abbey in 1093. The dynasty of Nassau only got the name about fifty years later due to their seat at Nassau Castle. <br /><br />The "de Luxembourgs" have no relation to the House of Nassau as it is today. The House of Luxembourg (later Limburg-Luxembourg) went extinct in 1453 with Emperor Sigismund, THEN came the Habsburgs and then, much later, the Nassaus. There were no marriages between the House of Luxembourg (Limburg-Luxembourg) and the House of Nassau, no issue.<br /><br />Keep doing your project :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7130813892118656644.post-87685197808301629532010-11-24T18:17:02.286+01:002010-11-24T18:17:02.286+01:00I'm planning to visit this exhibition Royal Ma...I'm planning to visit this exhibition Royal Marriage.
