*Are there any other old monarchies that I didn't include in the video?*
the crown of Spain is the continuation of the crowns of castille and Aragon
The papacy. Started in 756 with the donation of Pepin, creating the Papal State, continuing today as the state of Vatican
@@_jeff65_ yeah was gonna about to tell that
@@_jeff65_ Is that really a monarchy though? I mean, it's not like the title of Pope is handed down from father to son.
What about the 2000-year old papacy?
Kingdom of Norway: founded by king Harald Fairhair, currently ruled by king Harald Nohair
Wasn't he a simp?
Homie became a king for a girl
Or, Harald the bald.

@@General.Knowledge Æthelstan (Alfred the Great's grandson) was the 1st king of England although his reign was only 3 years he was the king who defeated the joint army of Scots/Norse/Danes/Irish at the battle of Brunanburh bringing Northumbria into the the other English kingdoms to create England. The country was short lived after his death though until a Norman of Danish descent defeated Harold ii Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings.
@@simonbutterfield4860 if you don't count the bretwaldas and kings of albion from before the angles saxons and jutes turned up such as Boadicea uniting the tribes of Albion in the Iceni revolution back in 60AD
@@General.Knowledge also completely forgot that Scotland is an older kingdom than England and that England is not ‘Britain’.
Correction:
The Current Sultan of Oman is Haytham Bin Tariq, as Sultan Qabous Bin Saïd passed away in January of Last Year.
oman isn't really that known of a country so I get why he made that mistake
@@teardataco8913 we all are humans sometimes we make some mistakes.especially when you need to post weekly like general knowledge
@@dr.heinzdoofenshmirtz4759 that and oman isn't really a known country

@@ziadbaha1699 i meant as common knowledge, ofcourse you can search about it but as common knowledge it's really not that known.
Other ideas relating to monarchies:
1) shortest monarchies
2) most recent monarchies to be abolished/switched to another form of government
3) shortest serving kings/queens (like William Henry Harrison dying in office after only being president for 31 days)
Or Lady Jane Gray whom was Queen of England for just 9 days also known as the 9 day queen.
My bet for 1) should be the Central AFrican Empire, between 1976 and 1979 under Emperor Bokassa I.
@@simonbutterfield4860 Or Louis XIX who was King of the French for around 20 minutes lol
@@joundii3100 I didn't know that, thank you.
@@joundii3100 technically he was not Louis XIX as he was not crowned with this title, but yes he was the heir of the throne and abdicated for Louis-Philippe like 20 minutes after his father Charles X did the same.
In the same way, you could say Louis XVII was king of France for 2 years from january 1793 to its death in june 1795 as the coalitions recognised him as the true ruler of France.
Or Napoleon II was emperor for two weeks in 1815 ;-)
@7:09 Alfred's grandson Athelstan is widely accepted as the first king of all England after completing the reconquest of the danelaw from the vikings that was started by Alfred. William the conqueror is widely accepted as the first 'modern' English King because he is the most recent person to have claimed the crown working as an external force without such an invitation from parliament as William of orange had
Yes, I wondered why they didn't mention Athelstan! Overlooking all the Saxon kings before William the Conqueror is leaving out a lot of people who were clearly kings of England, imo.
Glad to know I wasn’t the only one who spotted that mistake
Aethelstan became the official king of all the English (saxons) after defeating an allied triumvirate of King Constantine II of Alba, Owain of Strathclyde and the Viking King of Dublin Olaf Guthfrithson at the battle of Brunanburh in 937 when the remaining English saxon kingdoms showed fealty to him, although he had been defacto king from 927 after ridding England of the Vikings and re taking York.
William the Conqueror had a legitimate claim to the throne as he had allegedly been promised it by his childless cousin Edward the Confessor. (Edward's mother Emma of Normandy was William's great aunt, sister of his grandfather Richard the good of Normandy)
The part about Britain is totally inaccurate. Scotland is an older kingdom than England and Britain didn’t exist as a nationstate until ‘the union of crowns’ yet again people too stupid to realise that Britain isn’t England.
@@boxtradums0073 always the way, not mentioning that it was scottish dynasties like james (stuart) the 6th of scotland / 1st of england who united the crown of the 2 countries and queen anne scottish dynasty (the stuarts) who signed the act of union 1707 and goes so far back in time when scotland wasn't even scotland
If you consider elected monarchies too, you should have talked about the Holy See/Vatican/Papal States. They (Papal States) were territorially established in 754 AD and the line of succession goes even further than that, to Saint Peter
elected monarchies are more like presidents & prime ministers than actual monarchies

From what I’ve gathered in my research on the Moroccan monarchy in the 20th century for my Uni dissertation, the decision by the French and Spanish colonial powers to preserve to Alaouite dynasty during their colonial occupation of Morocco, which began in 1912, was an important reason why the monarchy survived. In addition, the key role King Mohammed V played in the independence struggle during the 1950s helped consolidate his legitimacy and preserve monarchical rule after Morocco’s independence. His successor, Hassan II faced major challenges to his rule including two coup attempts in 1971 and 1972, which he survived by the skin of his teeth. His use of repression was key to his survival. As for the current monarch, Mohammed VI, who took the throne in 1999, I’m also not sure how he’s managed to preserve his rule. Like you said, he has promised constitutional reforms, but I don’t know if he’s delivered on them. His regime did survive the 2011 Arab Spring, so maybe Morocco has democratised under his reign, at least to some extent. Great video, btw!
There definitly was some reforms giving the elected government a lot more power, but most think it's not enough.
Also to answer why we're still a monarchy, it's definitly for stability; just look at neighboring countries: Algeria is a military dictatorship, Tunisia is living political crisis after political crisis, Libya is a huge mess, and let's not talk about the arab world or africa.. Although it's a bit oppresive, I'd say it's the price to pay for stability
His wife holds the title of Princess. I believe prior to him, the king's wife did not even have a title.
@@yassine9826 I agree. Monarchies usually offer stability.
By western standards Morocco is not a democracy. But if you see our Arabic neighbors you will realize that we have one of the best regimes. And that's why Moroccans are okay with the current monarch.
Syria libya egypt and yemen made the moroccan people thank god of this regime. Because at least we dont have a civil war and the army made no coups against the islamists that we voted for in 2011.
@@RedNightDragon1
The King's wives in Moroccan history had always carried tiltes. They were addressed by "Lalla" which means noble lady. The difference that was made for current Royal consort is that; she was granted the title Princess, which is regarded as a higher rank than Lalla. She is now addressed by both tiltes Princess Lalla Salma.
The picture used for "Gorm the old" is the statue of Oger le Danois / Ogier the Dane.
Ogier the Dane is according to "The song of Roland" a mythical paladin of Charlemagne, hence never King of Denmark.
Ogier? Is that his name in English?
In danish he is called Holger
My mistake then! It came up when I searched for Gorm the old

Dude, I love your channel, hugs from Brazil.
Great video, thank you !
I'm moroccan and i can answer to your questions, first, he constitutional reform is done and morocco became a democratic parliamentary constitutional monarchy with a serious power who was gived to the prime minister, and actually in morocco, the moroccans are proud of their king ! 🇲🇦🇲🇦
Yes 🙌

Congrats! Very interesting video
I lived and worked in Malaysia for 15 years, the Malaysian sultanate system is the most unique in the world, every five years the power of the sultan will be replaced by sultans from other states in Malaysia and installed as His Majesty the Yang Di-pertuan Agong. This unique system of transition is practiced to this day.
That’s interesting
As a proud Malaysian, I believe our monarchy system is unique.
Making some research, I've founded that current Spanish monarchs can be traced back to Visigoths kings in the 6th century reigning is quite a similar territory.
As and addition, you could have included them too.
Anyway, it was a great video.
Congratulations!!!
Very interesting, thank you!
The difference with Moroccan’s monarchy’s that the people actually love their king

Something that’s also fascinating about the Japanese Emperors: they are not the head of state. Their official role is „symbol of unity“
morocco is a constitutional monarchy.
The alaouites dynasty is the 7th monarchy to rule morocco.
1idrissid 2almoravid 3almohads 4marinids 5wattasid 6saady 7alaouites.
First alaouites sultan was "mawla arrachid" in year 1666.
The First aluite ruler was Ali Sharif in 1631
Not an error per se as you can see the British monarchy as a continuation of both the English or Scottish monarchy, but the Scottish monarchy is actually older than the English one. So just a little thing.
Interesting topic
I would like to note that the image you have representing Gorm the Old of Denmark is not, in fact, a statue depicting him. We do not know what he looked like, so he could've looked similar, but that statue is of old Danish mythical hero Holger Danske (Or Ogier the Dane, I believe, in English).
Just wanted to note that.

Three other key facts about the UK you left out, 1) The Monarchy was interrupted by the during the Cromwell times, 2) Louis VIII of France was temporarily the King of England, and 3) not all of Ireland left. Also, in coup, the "p" is silent.
You missed out that the oldest kingdom in the UK is Scotland not England.
The song playing in the background at the end was a march by John Philip Sousa. I think it was the one called "Hands Across the Sea", but it could be a different one.
CZcams confirms "Hands Across the Sea"
Two corrections:
1. The Alauoi Dynasty of Morocco came into power in the XVII or XVIII Century. Prior to that, several other dynasties ruled over Morocco, beginning with the Idrissids, and then moving towards the Almoravid, Almohad, Merinid, etc. What this means is that the current Moroccan Dynasty, although old, isn´t really that old, especially when compared to others mentioned in this particular list.
2. Sultan Qaboos died in 2019. His successor, who is a cousin of his, is now the Sultan.
Aethelstan is usually considered the first king of England, starting from 927. He was Alfred's grandson.
But the British monarchy is also the continuation of the Scottish monarchy, and Scotland became a country before England did. So you could go back to the first king of Scotland in 843.
Also to note that the first King of Great Britain was the Scottish King also ascending to the English throne.
I was actually surprised not to see Scotland in this video. I suppose its "logic" is that it is not the kingdom of Scotland as such, but the United Kingdom, but then it shouldn't talk about England either ...
Nor does it make much sense not to consider Spain, because as such it has existed since 1713, when the same can be said of the United Kingdom / Great Britain. Actually, Spain, as a continuation of the monarchy of the Kingdom of Asturias, has existed since 723 ...
@@glaschu6272 Not forgetting James I & VI great grandmother was Margaret Tudor, elder sister of Henry VIII of England. The royal and noble families of europe have been married off to each other for centuries.
Typical of non Brits to assume that England is ‘Britain’ Scotland is an older kingdom.
@@boxtradums0073 He specifically mentioned monarchies that are still in existence today. The British monarchy is English and Scottish in ancestry, with some German, Danish and French thrown in.
After the act of union in 1707 the English and Scottish kingdoms became the British kingdom, so the English and Scottish monarchies technically no longer exist. Also the two nations had already been sharing a monarch for over 100 years since James I & VI.
The real game of thrones ;-) Interesting that 2 island nations have the oldest and most well known monarchies in world - Great Britain and Japan - coincidence?
Extremely interesting point!
island nation tends to be safer and more isolated
What he said about the UK is near enough entirely wrong. The oldest kingdom in whats now the UK is Scotland not England. ‘The union of crowns’ United Scotland and England under a Scottish King. “Great Britain” was a nationstate from 1603-1707 when Ireland was officially incorporated then since 1707 is been called ‘the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland/Northern Ireland’.
what is Game of thrones?

Prince Andrew is the monarch who had the longest period of not sweating -- until his catastrophic armpit-drenching interview in 2020.
6:22 It’s worth noting that Haakon probably wouldn’t have been nearly so warmly welcomed if he hadn’t been a fairly humble man who was in favour of modernisation and democracy.
Yes, the antimonarchist feeling in Norway was at an all time high when the union between Sweden and Norway ended.
That was a wise decision in the quest for some form of legitimacy.
Popularity, even today, is the most notable thing about the kingdom of Norway. Haakon's son, Olav V, had an immense popularity, an amount that his son and grandson are likely to never overcome
General knowledge do a video of how the seven emirates of UAE work together and how they came into existence
The current monarchy of the United Kingdom dates from 1707. If you are basing it on the prior monarchies which were merged then dating from 843 and King Kenneth McAlpin, its is the monarchy of Scotland not England which provides the oldest starting point..
Yeah this list is very sketchy on what you define as the oldest
True.

As a Moroccan, I’m proud to tell you my friend that my country citizens love the king, even tho we used to be poor and some still are, even tho the king has way too much money etc. we love our king and the Prince Hassan III, this is the only way to keep progressing. Unfortunately we’ve seen many Arabic countries and African ones get destroyed by the western ideas of “Monarchy steals the citizen it’s freedom and wealth” which caused revolutions from the citizen only to bring down their very own country 💔

What do you mean. Depending on the issue/topic, it may more important to mention the historical original founding of Morocco, and at times, the Modern indipendance. The French and Spanish rule changed morocco, and it makes no sence to mention all of moroccan history to talk about modern history.

With Oman:
Qaboos died in 2020 before the pandemic and the current Sultan is Haitham bin Tariq
There is something to be said for constitutional monarchy as opposed to republic. Consider Haiti: the president "died suddenly"; there was no vice president, no congress because the term had expired and the prime minister was being replaced. If there was a monarch they could usually find a relative to take the reins and the prime minister would have someone to answer to even if the answer would always be yes of course.

@@diogorodrigues747 Dude there’s no way you just made this discussion about the Portuguese Empire. The Portuguese Empire was strong but it was never the strongest in it’s own timeline. The 16th and 15th century was more marked Spanish and Ottoman rise and dominance.
@@a-aron5405 LOL
You are wrong, because probably they lied to you (typical in the American school system). The Spanish Empire was also a global superpower, but it was poorer than Portugal back then and didn't hold back so many trade routes. The Spanish Empire only surpassed the Portuguese Empire in the last years of the 16th century, and that was because Spain and Portugal shared the same crown from 1580 to 1640. The Spanish Empire is generally more known since they had a huge conquest programme, but in a commercial way the Portuguese ruled the world in the 15th century and most of the 16th century as well.
And no, the Ottomans were not a global superpower, they were a strong regional superpower. In fact, the Portuguese defeated the Ottomans easily in the Battle of Diu, however it was much tougher for the Venetians and Genoese to defeat the Ottomans in the Mediterranean. The Portuguese navy was the strongest navy back then and the British Royal Navy only became stronger in the 17th century, when most Jews, that were also huge entrepreneurs, had to flee from Portugal due to the Inquisition in 1536. The defeat of the "Armada Invencible" was the final blow on both Spanish and Portuguese navies and their supremacy over the world's seas.

Alfred the Great was the King of Wessex, the precursor to the Kingdom of England. The first accepted English monarch was Æthelstan, Alfred's grandson, declaring himself King of the English in 927, an accepted year for the beginning of the Kingdom of England. The "British" monarchy however, began with Queen Anne in 1707, when the Kingdoms of England and Scotland were joined in the Acts of Union.

ازيد من 1000 عام 😊❤🇲🇦
What about a video for longest existing monarchies? Like China or Egypt.
England had been unified for over a century before William conquered it. That unity actually made it easier to conquer, because he only had to defeat one king (Harold Godwinson). The reason 1066 is so critical in English history was a combination of permanent dynastic change (all future houses descending from William the Conqueror), and the major reorganization of England's system of government (not to mention the significant cultural influence of the Norman nobility in shaping English society, language, and identity).
Plus it’s actually Scotland that has the oldest monarchy not England.

The current Sultan of Oman is not Sultan Qaboos whose picture was displayed on the video. He passed away in 2020. His cousin Haitham took over as the new and current Sultan of Oman.
The Kingdom of England was abolished in 1649 when Charles I was beheaded, and Cromwell's Commonwealth took over (a Republic). Cromwell died in 1658, and the Restoration under Charles II happened in 1660. Glorious Revolution in 1688-89 led to more limited changes.
And Scotland is in fact the oldest kingdom not England.
@@boxtradums0073 Correct - founded in 843 as opposed to England 927
It's interesting to note that the person with the highest title has the least amount of power.
King Aethelstan was the first person with the title, King of England. Not William I. However William I did establish the current Dynasty and is the base of which monarchs base their numbers (Hence why Edward the confessor came before Edward I). Although if you asked William, he was actually the legitimate successor the the house of Wessex.

. One of the first Danish kings is King Angantyr in the year 700, and ever since Denmark has been an unbroken monarchy. Since the year 936, the monarchy has been inherited from the king to his son. Denmark was baptized as Christian in 965. The flag Dannebrog fell from the sky to us on June 15, 1219.
The Queen is the head of Denmark and the Danish Commonwealth politically and religiously. The expression "We" represents "King and God". The Queen must not indulge in "party"-political debate.
