The most vivid example of a monarchical dynasty in Russia is perhaps the last ruling monarchical family of the Romanov family. They stood in power, starting from 1613, right up to the tragic revolutionary events, before them the Rurikovichs succeeded each other on the throne. In England, the most prominent monarchist dynasties were the Tudors, Stuarts, and Windsor.

In accordance with the rules of succession, the current monarch is in power for life and gives the next heir only in case of serious illness or death. The throne passes from father to eldest son, less often to daughter or other close relative, if the high-ranking official does not have direct heirs. In Russia, for example, the law of Peter the Great was in effect for some period, according to which the monarch could transfer the throne without basing on established traditions, choosing any worthy successor. However, Paul the First was able to return the legal right of direct descendants.

Today, most monarchical dynasties do not play a significant role in government, but are symbolic, demonstrating the loyalty of a nation to its long tradition. There are countries in which absolute royal power is preserved to this day.

There are dynasties that have undergone restoration. So, the Spanish Bourbons ruled the country from 1700 to 1808, after which the line was interrupted and was again renewed in 1957. Now seventy-six-year-old Juan Carlos I is seated on the Spanish throne, who is far from politics and is only a certain symbol of the unity of the nation.

The most ancient European dynasty is considered to be the Frankish Carolingian dynasty that has not survived to this day, which began its existence back in 751.
