Topic: House of Este


  
  Este - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House of Este is a European princely dynasty.
It is split into two branches: the elder branch is known as the House of Welf-Este or House of Welf, and the younger branch as the House of Fulc-Este or later simply as the House of Este.
The elder branch of the House of Este, the House of Welf, produced dukes of Bavaria (1070–1139, 1156–1180), dukes of Saxony (1138–1139, 1142–1180), a German king (1198–1218), dukes and electors of Brunswick and Lüneburg (1208–1918), kings of Hanover (1815–1866), and monarchs of the United Kingdom (1714–1901).

ESTE, one of the oldest of the former reigning houses of Italy.
Through him the house of Este became connected with the princely houses of Brunswick and Hanover, from which the sovereigns of England are descended.
By the marriage of his son Azzo to the heiress of the Marchesella family (the story that she was carried off to prevent her marrying an enemy of the Este is a pure legend), he came to acquire great influence in Ferrara, although he was opposed by the hardly less powerful house of Torelli.

 House of Hanover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House of Hanover (the Hanoverians) were a German royal dynasty of Lombard descent which succeeded the House of Stuart as kings of Great Britain in 1714.
The House of Hanover is a younger branch of the House of Welf, which in turn is a branch of the House of Este.
By House Law, the House of Hanover would have acceded to the Duchy of Brunswick, but there had been strong Prussian pressure against having George V of Hanover or his son, the Duke of Cumberland, succeed to a member state of the German Empire, at least without strong conditions, including swearing to the German constitution.

The fortunes of the house of Canossa were founded by Atto Adalbert (died 988), son of Siegfried, baron of Lucca.
It was then that Hugo gave out that he was the descendant of a brother of Azzo Adalberto, great-grandfather of Mathilda and founder of the House of Attoni, or Canossa; thus, Hugo claimed that he was merely of a junior branch of the Canossa house.
The boy was given the Germanic name Frederick, after Mathilda’s brother Frederick, the infant marquis of Tuscany, and her grandfather duke Frederick II of Lorraine, and was referred to as such in foreign chronicles.

Although the Este family might have had reservations (after all, it was common gossip that the pope "knew" his daughter in the biblical sense), they finally consented to the marriage.
The great house of Este went down in history, and Ferrara sadly declined under the papacy.
Its palaces, for the most part, have long been robbed of their furnishings, but the faded frescoes, the paintings that weren't carted off, and the palatial rooms are reminders of the vicissitudes of power.
