The Habsburgs stayed in power for six or so centuries because of many advantageous marriages which brought powerful and important lands into their family. Also to their detriment, however, because they inbred with an astonishing frequency.
The Tudor family probably was the most important and powerful family in England at the time because they were the ruling dynasty which might have been the envy of other powerful families.
The House of Bourbon still is important because it has two monarchs on the thrones of two European nations: Spain and Luxembourg. In Spain, King Juan Carlos is a member of the main line of the House of Bourbon and in Luxembourg Grand Duke Henri is a member of a junior branch via Bourbon-Spain ---> Parma ---> Nassau.
The Savoy family couldn't live in Italy for a long time because there was a ban on male dynasts after the monarchy was abolished. This was an effort to keep the monarchy abolished and to cull support for them. The ban, instituted in 1948, was removed in 2002.
I don't understand your question about medals. Do you mean orders? In royalty, family, dynasty and national orders are awarded to honour the recipient. It is customary among some royal families to exchange orders during state visits.
The real power of royal families is quite varied. In Liechtenstein the prince is essentially an absolute monarch. In a republic like Austria, the former imperial family has absolutely no recognized status. In Japan, the imperial family is only symbolic and nothing more. It varies in between as well.
Some royal families enjoy immense wealth, such as the house of Liechtenstein, etc. Others have immense palaces that are stated owned. It varies. None of the reigning royal families in Europe is financially broke and others like Saudi Arabia have theoretical wealth probably in the range of hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars. Some royals live down to earth lives and others maintain a consistent life of luxury. Again, it depends. Some exiled royal families, however, are broke.
San Marino is a republic, not a monarchy, and Spain and Luxembourg are both parliamentary democracies and constitutional monarchies. The working power of those countries is in their parliaments and houses of government. Andorra, curiously, as a principality has two princes: The French President and the Bishop of Urgell (whoever these two people are at any given time). They, too, are a parliamentary democracy.
Yes,Borbon family are still important,although there´s some people that are against monarchy in Spain.
The Bourbon, or Borbón, family has sat on the Spanish throne almost uninterruptedly since the year 1700, when Philip V became king following almost two centuries of Habsburg rule. The last Habsburg monarch, Charles II, died without issue and named Philip, a grandson of French king Louis XIV, his successor. The Habsburgs had ruled Spain since 1516 when Charles I of the Netherlands - later crowned Holy Roman Emperor Charles V - succeeded his maternal grandfather, Ferdinand II.
The current king, Juan Carlos Alfonso Victor María de Borbón y Borbón, acceded to the throne on November 22, 1975, and is credited with being a key player in Spain's smooth transition into a democracy.
Juan Carlos' grandfather, Alfonso XIII, had been forced to leave the country following the 1931 elections, and when his grandson arrived in Spain in 1947 - fulfilling his father's wish that he receive a Spanish education in the hope that the Borbón dynasty would return to the throne - it was for the first time. Twenty one years later he was named future monarch of Spain.
The young Spaniard was married to Princess Sofia of Greece on May 14, 1962, and the couple have three children: Elena, born in 1963, Cristina, born in 1965, and the heir to the throne, Prince Felipe, who was born in 1968. Between them, his daughters have given the king five grandchildren, on which he dotes. The popular Prince of the Asturias married former newsreader Letizia Ortiz in May 2004.

The Tudors were the most powerful family in England, the royal family always is, The British Royal family only receive military medals for the conflicts they have been involved in recently Harry received a medal for serving i Afghanistan. In the UK the Queen holds ultimate power but all the others are just hangers on. Its hard for the Royal family to spend frivolously as they have their accounts published annually.
nicely customarily from Land. Prince Charles throughout the Duchy of Cornwall is between the biggest land vendors interior the united kingdom, as an occasion. i think of a few million-5 pence of each voters tax bill is going to the Royals. most of the Royals have jobs, some serve interior the militia. money that folk pay to pass to Royal properties and Castles.
Sofia is really a city that encourage you, is a town that make you intend to visit so just how you will dsicover with hotelbye . One of many places that Sofia has to offer through his tourists is Saint George Rotunda church. Also, The Memorial Church Saint Alexander Nevsky is one of the city's many recognizable symbols. This church was built in 1912, and was made by the Russian architect Alexander Pomerantsev. Their bell tower rises to a top of 53 yards, and properties 53 bells, the largest weighing 10 tons. In Sofia you will see several important and lovely church and cathedral and those gives that city a special issue which makes the tourist desire to got here.
