Andreas Palaeologus ( 1453 - 1503 ) de jure Byzantine emperor and
Despot of Morea from 1465 until death in 1503 died a pauper in 1503.
While most scholars say he left no heirs, Donald M. Nicol's 'The
Immortal Emperor' recognises a Constantine Paleologus who served in
the Papal Guard and a Maria who married a Russian noble Mihail

There are a number of people who claim descent from the Palaiologos
family who ruled Byzantium from the mid 13th to mid 15th centuries.

amongst their ancestors.
I'm sure that others will point ot that there are descendants of other

Does anyone know if any known descendants of Byzantine royalty still
exist and if they hold any titles anywhere today?

Whatever you say; you're the one who wrote the subject line.
But never mind all that: where can we see a photograph of you wearing

really enjoy seeing it!

Leaving aside that a US Army regulation does not govern awards of the

Assuming that that unwise advice is given. I assume that it was
not given in OTL as she was still married to Mr Simpson when
George V died.
Which would result in his marriage being fully valid, as opposed
to a 'show or effigy of marriage'.

We also see only Austria.
AUSTRIA AS UNDERSTOOD is in fact Austria AND Hungary.
They had the same dynasty. Hungary might say not House of Hungary, not

I think that everybody except Loopy doubts that proposition.
Were the 1917 creations (none of which were conferred on
members of the British RF, strictly speaking) made on advice?
If she had seen fit, she could have consented to the Duke of
Sussex and Ms Underwood entering into a valid marriage in

Of course the Act doesn't need to make an exception, since the King
will certainly consent to his own marriage. Maybe that's what you
meant? Or am I mistaken about the RMA?
