I have used only names of individuals born into a family, not those who marry into it, to avoid distortion.  One thing these lists do show is the lack of originality and imagination royal families have shown in choosing names; just like the rest of us, really.

These names come from a number of sources, and are given exactly as originally shown; this means there is a lack of consistency in transliteration between languages (e.g. French kings called Henry or Henri).  If you still want more, I can recommend the website at , which includes many more royal and noble genealogies (and more detail on the ones shown here), or the Society for Creative Anachronism: their general website is www.sca.org, with a specific section on names from various medieval languages and regions at .

You will notice that there are far more male than female names; this is not because more male children were born, but daughters' names weren't so rigorously recorded, as they were less likely to inherit a title.  I have listed only monarchs, and their sons/daughters.

There is, of course, no reason to stick to these names.  Please feel free to find names from other sources or to make up names for your characters - however, anything excessively silly may be replaced by the GM with something more appropriate from your family tree.
