A dynasty is representatives of the same clan, who are successive successors of each other's cause. The monarchic dynasty is linked by relatives of the royal, "blue" bloods and a special system of succession of power.

Step 1
The most striking example of a monarchical dynasty in Russia is perhaps the last ruling monarchical family of the Romanov family. They have been in power since 1613, right up to the tragic revolutionary events, before them Rurikovichs succeeded each other on the throne. In England, the most notable monarchical dynasties were the Tudors, Stuarts, and Windsors.
Step 2
In accordance with the rules of succession to the throne, the current monarch is in power for life and gives place to the next heir only in case of serious illness or death. The throne passes from the father to the eldest son, less often to the daughter or other close relative, in the absence of direct heirs to the high-ranking person. In Russia, for example, for a certain period the law of Peter the Great was in effect, according to which the monarch could transfer the throne, not based on established traditions, choosing any worthy successor. However, already Paul the First managed to return the legal right of direct descendants.
Step 3
Today, most monarchical dynasties do not play an essential role in government, but have a symbolic meaning, demonstrating the loyalty of a particular people to its long-standing traditions. There are countries in which absolute royal power is preserved to this day.
Step 4
The oldest of all existing monarchies is the Japanese monarchical dynasty. Its first representative ascended the throne in 660 BC, and the current emperor, Prince Tsugunomiya, is the 125th reigning monarch.
Step 5
But the dynasty of Swedish kings is the youngest in the world. The Bernadottes have ruled the country since 1818, despite this family still maintaining the status of the most stable continuously reigning European kings.
Step 6
There are dynasties that have undergone restoration. Thus, the Spanish Bourbons ruled the country from 1700 to 1808, after which the line was interrupted and was again resumed in 1957. Now on the Spanish throne sits seventy-six-year-old Juan Carlos I, who is far from politics and is only a kind of symbol of the unity of the nation.
Step 7
The most ancient European dynasty is the Frankish Carolingian dynasty, which has not survived to this day, which began its existence back in 751. Concerning the issue of age, we can single out the oldest monarchist dynasty in the world. She, of course, is the dynasty of the Egyptian pharaohs, which was enthroned more than five thousand years ago.
