The House of Yorkshire-Königsberg is the Royal House of the Kingdom of Cascadia.

The house of Yorkshire-Königsberg Coat of Arms. The motto is Welsh for "Hateful the man who loves not the country that nurtures him."

The family split into two branches, the Catholic Swabian and Protestant Franconian. The Swabian branch ruled the area of Hechingen until their eventual extinction in 1869. The Franconian branch was comparatively more successful. Branches of the Franconian line ascended the throne of Brandenburg in 1415 and of Ducal Prussia in 1525. The union of these two Franconian lines in 1618 allowed the creation of the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701, the state which led the Unification of Germany and the creation of the German Empire in 1871. The Hohenzollern family abdicated the German throne in 1918.
