Patrilineal descent

Patrilineal descent, descent from father to son, is the principle behind membership in royal houses, as it can be traced back through the generations - which means that the historically accurate royal house of monarchs of the House of Hanover was the House of Lucca (or Este, or Welf).

Descent before Oberto I is from and may be inaccurate.

This is the descent of the primary male heir. For the complete expanded family tree, see List of members of the House of Hanover.
