Usually you are wrong and this time is no exception STUD. :cry:

The Glücksburg family descended from the Hellenic Eastern Roman Empire of Constantinople (i.e. Byzantine Empire). 8)

The young and first King of Greece of the new Danish dynasty set out to Russia to visit his sister Maria Fyodorovna, consort to Tsar Alexander III of Russia, and to find himself a bride, one acceptable to Russia (one of the three Great Powers with enormous influence in Greek politics, the others being Great Britain and France). He chose the sixteen-year-old Grand Duchess Olga Constantinovna and they were married in the Winter Palace in St.Petersburg, 15 October 1867. Soon afterwards they left for Greece accompanied by a trunk full of dolls. This child-bride became one of Greece's best loved Queens, even though for her life-time she still longed for Russia and her family. The ballroom of the Palace in Athens was used by their growing number of children to practise roller-skating and bicycling. They lived a simple family life, mostly at Tatoi, a small estate bought in 1871. After a long and happy family life, she found herself a widow in 1913 after the assassination of her husband. She was a direct matrilineal descendant of the Greek Empress Euphrosyne Doukaina Kamatera. Like most European royalty, he was descended from several Byzantine Emperors.

Going back as far as the time of the final fall of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 he probably has between 5000 and 15000 ancestors living at that time, and twice as many for every 20-30 years you go back and you chose one to define his ethnos/genos. I however would just like to point out that by that token he is also English and Scottish too: Alfred the Great is amongst his ancestors.

and from the same link:

When alone with his wife, George usually conversed in German. Their children were taught English by their nannies, and when talking with his children he therefore spoke mainly English. Intent on not letting his subjects know of his missing his native land, he discreetly maintained a dairy at his palace at Tatoi, which was managed by his former countrymen from Denmark as a bucolic reminder of his homeland. Queen Olga was far less careful in her expression of apostasy from her native Russia, often visiting Russian ships at anchor in Piraeus two or three times before they weighed anchor.


It does not matter from whom you are descended but where you identify as home. Look at all the Aussies, Yanks, Kiwis, Canucks etc.
