How The Windsors Went From German "Old Money" To British Royalty
In the dusky corridors of the European elite, a lineage with Germanic ancestry shaped itself to embody the noble legacy of England.
Once known as Saxe-Coburg and Gotha - the dynasty shifted as profoundly as the transformation of raw ore into polished gold.
Rooted in tradition, their influence spread like gilded branches reaching across European courts.
As World War I broke forth, a tempest of anti-German sentiments roared across the British Isles - a storm fueled by mistrust and fear.
With a decisive act in 1917 - King George V penned the new family name - Windsor.

The House of Wettin (German: Haus Wettin) is a dynasty of German kings, prince-electors, dukes, and counts that once ruled territories in the present-day German states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The dynasty is one of the oldest in Europe, and its origins can be traced back to the town of Wettin, Saxony-Anhalt. The Wettins gradually rose to power within the Holy Roman Empire. Members of the family became the rulers of several medieval states, starting with the Saxon Eastern March in 1030. Other states they gained were Meissen in 1089, Thuringia in 1263, and Saxo...

-------------
In the looming shadows of an ancient German stronghold in the heart of the European continent - a dynasty was stirring - a lineage that would later become known to the world as the House of Windsor but started with the seed of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
The story's roots reach deep - twisted and mysterious - stretching into the darkness of time.
Its inception can be traced to the tenth-century nobleman - Theodoric - dwelling in Northwestern Germany's Saxony duchy.
The mystery of his true heritage - whether connected to Emperor Charlemagne or the Counts of the Harz Mountains - leaves questions lingering like a fog-shrouded landscape.
As time rambled on, Theodoric's descendants began to rise in stature within the Eastern March - a frontier region absorbed into the Holy Roman Empire.
Now, the actual Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was unimposing - smaller than Luxembourg, with a mid-19th-century population of around 150,000.
Yet the Coburgs had their eyes on grander horizons - and would soon weave their lineage into almost every royal family on the continent.
A mere few years after the house's inception, they achieved a startling milestone - a Coburg became king of Belgium.
As the decades rolled by, and their discriminating stratagems began to bear political fruit - their influence expanded across the lands of Portugal, Bulgaria, and the mighty British Empire.
In 1830, the newly independent nation of Belgium offered Leopold I the crown - with Britain's approval.
Becoming Belgium's first king, Leopold's political acumen played a vital role in the family's rise to prominence.
His strategic vision led to the union of his nephew - Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha - with Queen Victoria of Britain - a match he had long hoped to make.
Albert's new role as Prince Consort would have profound implications.
Through his children with Queen Victoria, the British crown would eventually pass to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
The year 1952 marked a turning point for the House of Windsor with the death of King George VI.
Britain grieved the loss of a beloved monarch who had been instrumental in rebuilding the nation after the devastation of war - however a historic transition was about to unfold.
In 1953, Elizabeth II was crowned queen in a grand coronation ceremony, attended by international dignitaries.
Her reign heralded a new epoch - and she quickly moved to modernize the monarchy to keep pace with the rapidly evolving world.
With her coronation as the first to be televised, she bridged the gap between the royal family and the public.
Furthermore, during these post-war years, the House of Windsor played a vital role in re-establishing connections with European royal houses.
The newly minted Queen Elizabeth II - having familial ties with most European monarchs - nurtured strong relationships through visits, collaborations, and diplomatic engagements.
The 1990s marked a transformative period in the United Kingdom - often referred to as "Cool Britannia."
This cultural renaissance coincided with the rise of Tony Blair's New Labour government and brought with it a fresh wave of optimism and perceived modernity.
The House of Windsor - ever adaptive - initially embraced these changes, reflecting the new spirit of the time.
The Windsors attempted to successfully navigate this shift - engaging with various communities and openly celebrating the demographic diversity that emerged within the country.
However, this decade brought challenges as well.
For example, the advent of the 24-hour news cycle profoundly impacted the royal family - especially in the wake of Princess Diana's tragic death in 1997.
The intense media scrutiny that followed - focusing on her sons Prince William and Prince Harry - forced the Windsors to adapt to an unrelenting public gaze.

SUMMARY
=======
Saxony (German: Sachsen, Upper Sorbian: Sakska), officially the Free State of Saxony (German: Freistaat Sachsen [ˈfʁaɪ̯ʃtaːt ˈzaksn̩], Upper Sorbian: Swobodny stat Sakska), is a landlocked federal state of Germany, bordering the federal states of Brandenburg, Saxony Anhalt, Thuringia, and Bavaria, as well as the countries of Poland (Lower Silesian and Lubusz Voivodeships) and the Czech Republic (Karlovy Vary, Liberec, and Ústí nad Labem Regions). Its capital is Dresden, and its largest city is Leipzig.
Saxony is the tenth largest of Germany's sixteen states, with an area of 18,413 square kilometres (7,109 sq mi), and the sixth most populous, with 4 million people.
The history of the state of Saxony spans more than a millennium. It has been a medieval duchy, an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire, a kingdom, and twice a republic.
The area of the modern state of Saxony should not be confused with Old Saxony, the area inhabited by Saxons. Old Saxony corresponds roughly to the modern German states of Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and the Westphalian part of North Rhine-Westphalia.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Saxony-Anhalt is a state of Germany. Saxony-Anhalt was part of the communist German Democratic Republic. Massive investments in modern infrastructure have taken place since 1990. Even though part of this recovery was induced by the quite good performance of the Germany economy, Saxony-Anhalt did not only follow the national trend, but clearly outperformed other German states.
2. The state of Saxony-Anhalt originated in July 1945 after World War II, when the Soviet army administration in Allied-occupied Germany formed it from the former Prussian Province of Saxony and the Free State of Anhalt. Saxony-Anhalt became part of the German Democratic Republic in 1947, but was dissolved in 1952 during administrative reforms and its territory divided into the districts of Halle and Magdeburg, with the city of Torgau joining the district of Leipzig. Saxony-Anhalt was re-established in 1990 following German reunification, excluding Torgau, and became one of the Federal Republic of Germany's new states.
3. Magdeburg is the capital city and the second largest city of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Founded by Charlemagne in 805 as Magadoburg (probably from Old High German magado for big, mighty and burga for fortress), the town was fortified in 919 by King Henry the Fowler against the Magyars and Slavs. Magdeburg has been destroyed twice in its history. The Catholic League sacked Magdeburg in 1631, resulting in the death of 25,000 non-combatants, the largest loss of the Thirty Years' War. Allies bombed the city in 1945, destroying much of it.
4. Saxony-Anhalt was the most industrialized region of the German Democratic Republic. The reunification of Germany caused the closing of many factories, which reduced pollution, but swelled the unemployment figures dramatically. Economic plight has prompted half a million people to leave the state since 1990. After the breakdown of communism and the German reunification in 1990, the collapse of non competitive former GDR industries temporarily caused severe economic problems.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. Saxony-Anhalt is a state of Germany. Saxony-Anhalt was part of the communist German Democratic Republic. Massive investments in modern infrastructure have taken place since 1990. Even though part of this recovery was induced by the quite good performance of the Germany economy, Saxony-Anhalt did not only follow the national trend, but clearly outperformed other German states.
2. The state of Saxony-Anhalt originated in July 1945 after World War II, when the Soviet army administration in Allied-occupied Germany formed it from the former Prussian Province of Saxony and the Free State of Anhalt. Saxony-Anhalt became part of the German Democratic Republic in 1947, but was dissolved in 1952 during administrative reforms and its territory divided into the districts of Halle and Magdeburg, with the city of Torgau joining the district of Leipzig. Saxony-Anhalt was re-established in 1990 following German reunification, excluding Torgau, and became one of the Federal Republic of Germany's new states.
3. Magdeburg is the capital city and the second largest city of the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Founded by Charlemagne in 805 as Magadoburg (probably from Old High German magado for big, mighty and burga for fortress), the town was fortified in 919 by King Henry the Fowler against the Magyars and Slavs. Magdeburg has been destroyed twice in its history. The Catholic League sacked Magdeburg in 1631, resulting in the death of 25,000 non-combatants, the largest loss of the Thirty Years' War. Allies bombed the city in 1945, destroying much of it.
4. Saxony-Anhalt was the most industrialized region of the German Democratic Republic. The reunification of Germany caused the closing of many factories, which reduced pollution, but swelled the unemployment figures dramatically. Economic plight has prompted half a million people to leave the state since 1990. After the breakdown of communism and the German reunification in 1990, the collapse of non competitive former GDR industries temporarily caused severe economic problems. In 2000, Saxony-Anhalt had the highest unemployment rate of all German states, at 20.2%.
5. Martin Luther (1483-1546) was an Augustinian monk and university lecturer in Wittenberg when he composed his “95 Theses,” which protested the pope’s sale of reprieves from penance, or indulgences. Although he had hoped to spur renewal from within the church, in 1521 he was summoned before the Diet of Worms and excommunicated.
6. Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history.

The House of Wettin (German: Haus Wettin) is a dynasty of German kings, prince-electors, dukes, and counts that once ruled territories in the present-day German states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia. The dynasty is one of the oldest in Europe, and its origins can be traced back to the town of Wettin, Saxony-Anhalt. The Wettins gradually rose to power within the Holy Roman Empire. Members of the family became the rulers of several medieval states, starting with the Saxon Eastern March in 1030. Other states they gained were Meissen in 1089, Thuringia in 1263, and Saxony in 1423. These areas cover large parts of Central Germany as a cultural area of Germany.
The family divided into two ruling branches in 1485 by the Treaty of Leipzig: the Ernestine and Albertine branches. The older Ernestine branch played a key role during the Protestant Reformation. Many ruling monarchs outside Germany were later tied to its cadet branch, the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The Albertine branch, while less prominent, ruled most of Saxony and played a part in Polish history.
Agnates of the House of Wettin have, at various times, ascended the thrones of the United Kingdom, Portugal, Bulgaria, Poland, Saxony, Mexico and Belgium. Only the Belgian line retains their throne today.
All undisputably equal-marriage [de] members, or those without morganatic marriages, are more than 70 years old.
The oldest member of the House of Wettin who is known for certain is Theodoric I of Wettin, also known as Dietrich, Thiedericus, and Thierry I of Liesgau (died c. 982). He was most probably based in the Liesgau (located at the western edge of the Harz). Around 1000, the family acquired Wettin Castle, which was originally built by the local Slavic tribes (see Sorbs), after which they named themselves. Wettin Castle is located in Wettin in the Hassegau (or Hosgau) on the Saale River. Around 1030, the Wettin family received the Eastern March as a fief.[1]
The prominence of the Wettins in the Slavic Saxon Eastern March (or Ostmark) caused Emperor Henry IV to invest them with the March of Meissen as a fief in 1089. The family advanced over the course of the Middle Ages: in 1263, they inherited the landgraviate of Thuringia (although without Hesse) and in 1423, they were invested with the Duchy of Saxony, centred at Wittenberg, thus becoming one of the prince-electors of the Holy Roman Empire.
The family split into two ruling branches in 1485 when the sons of Frederick II, Elector of Saxony divided the territories hitherto ruled jointly. The elder son Ernest, who had succeeded his father as Prince-elector, received the territories assigned to the Elector (Electorate of Saxony) and Thuringia, while his younger brother Albert obtained the March of Meissen, which he ruled from Dresden. As Albert ruled under the title of "Duke of Saxony", his possessions were also known as Ducal Saxony.
The older Ernestine branch remained predominant until 1547 and played an important role in the beginnings of the Protestant Reformation. Frederick III (Friedrich der Weise) appointed Martin Luther (1512) and Philipp Melanchthon (1518) to the University of Wittenberg, which he had established in 1502.[2]
The Ernestine predominance ended in the Schmalkaldic War (1546/7), which pitted the Protestant Schmalkaldic League against the Emperor Charles V. Although itself Lutheran, the Albertine branch rallied to the Emperor's cause. Charles V had promised Moritz the rights to the electorship. After the Battle of Mühlberg, Johann Friedrich der Großmütige, had to cede territory (including Wittenberg) and the electorship to his cousin Moritz. Although imprisoned, Johann Friedrich was able to plan a new university. It was established by his three sons on 19 March 1548 as the Höhere Landesschule at Jena. On 15 August 1557, Emperor Ferdinand I awarded it the status of university.[2]
The Ernestine line was thereafter restricted to Thuringia and its dynastic unity swiftly crumbled, dividing into a number of smaller states, the Ernestine duchies. Nevertheless, with Ernst der Fromme, Duke of Saxe-Gotha (1601–1675), the house gave rise to an important early-modern ruler who was ahead of his time in supporting the education of his people and in improving administration. In the 18th century, Karl August, Duke of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, established what was to become known as Weimar Classicism at his court in Weimar, notably by bringing Johann Wolfgang von Goethe there.[2]
