Throughout history it has been militarily and politically expedient to ally with other ruling Houses, marriage being the primary means to do so.
Much of the European ruling elite of the 19th and 20th Centuries trace their lineage to Queen Victoria. During the Great War the Heads of State of Britain (King George V), Germany (Kaiser Wilhelm II) and Russia (Tsar Nicholas II) were first cousins.
