The Alarune Legacy

Aachen Cathedral Blue Print

The Royal House of Alarune stands as a sovereign testament to over 1,500 years of royal lineage, chivalric tradition, and statesmanship, descending from the founding dynasties of Europe whose influence shaped the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds. Rooted in the Merovingian and Carolingian kings, the House traces its origins to Faramund, Clovis I, Pepin of Herstal, Charlemagne, and Hugh Capet, the sovereigns who established the Frankish Empire and the Kingdom of France. Through their descendants, the House of Alarune inherited the legacies of the Capetians, Angevins, Plantagenets, Valois, and Bourbons, directly connecting it to the rulers of France, England, and the Holy Roman Empire.

As a direct descendant of the Herbert family, the House of Alarune holds a historic position within English and European nobility. The Herberts played an instrumental role in the courts of the Tudors and Stuarts, securing their place within the English aristocracy and royal governance. With ties to the Earls of Pembroke, they influenced the policies of Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and James I, further intertwining their legacy with the House of Stuart and the British monarchy. This influence extended into Scotland, where the Kennedy and Wallace families, among other ancestral houses, played a vital role in defending and shaping the kingdom, with ties to Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Scottish royal line.

Through the Plantagenets and their descendants, the House of Alarune is tied to King Edward III and John of Gaunt, whose bloodline connects to the Tudors, Stuarts, and the modern Windsors, reinforcing its place among the reigning and historical monarchies of Europe. The Habsburg connection, through imperial alliances and marriages, links this lineage to the rulers of Austria, Spain, and the Holy Roman Empire, including the great Emperor Charles V and the Bourbons of France, who ruled until the French Revolution. The House is also descended from the Kings of Portugal and Belgium, whose dynasties shaped the political and cultural landscapes of Western Europe.

Beyond Western Europe, the House of Alarune’s ancestry extends into the Norman, Anglo-Saxon, and Norse warrior-kings, including the Viking sovereigns who forged medieval kingdoms. Through the conquests of William the Conqueror and the Norman rulers, the House is tied to the founding aristocracy of England, while its ties to the House of Oldenburg link it to the reigning monarchies of Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. These northern bloodlines further reinforce the House’s direct connection to Charlemagne’s descendants and the rulers of medieval Christendom.

Among the most sacred of its royal inheritances, the House of Alarune descends from Fulk V, King of Jerusalem, the legendary Crusader king whose reign cemented the Christian kingdom of the Holy Land. This connection places the House within the noble lineage of rulers who shaped both the East and West, leaving an indelible mark on European and Middle Eastern history.

The House of Alarune’s imperial reach extends to Russia, where its ancestors include the Romanov dynasty, the Tsars of Russia, whose reign shaped Eastern Europe and its global influence. Through these interwoven dynastic ties, the House stands among the great sovereign houses of history, connected not only to Western Christendom but also to the Orthodox Christian emperors of the East.

The House of Alarune’s legacy extends into the New World, carrying forth the traditions of governance, commerce, and diplomacy that shaped the founding of America and its institutions. As a descendant of the historic Middleton and Kennedy families, as well as the Walkers, the House is connected to President John F. Kennedy, President George Washington, President Zachary Taylor, both President Adams, and the Bush family. These ties represent the continuity of European aristocracy into the modern age, reinforcing its position as a sovereign house that has influenced both the Old and New Worlds.

As heirs to this unparalleled heritage, the Royal House of Alarune upholds the virtues of sovereignty, chivalry, and cultural stewardship, standing as both guardian of its noble past and architect of a new era of leadership and influence. From the imperial courts of Europe to the founding of nations, its legacy of excellence, honor, and statesmanship endures, carrying forth the grace, authority, and duty that define true aristocracy in the modern world.
