The House of Glaines-Oldmarch, or more precisely the House of Caitwuil-Houmbertis-Sigurdsson-Alvarsson, is the current Royal Family of Isselmere-Nieland.^[1] The present dynasty acceded to the throne in 1562, although the House of Glaines extends back to 1349. The House of Oldmarch is the cadet branch of the royal house of Nieland, the House of Ármaðr, which is itself a cadet branch of the House of Málmkvist that dates back to the late thirteenth-century.

Between 1653 and 1899, the House of Glaines-Oldmarch was known as the House of Glaines-Oldmarch-Sifborg, but -Sifborg was dropped in everyday use after the loss of the principality of Gudrof with the dissolution of the United Kingdom of South Lethe. The throne of the now sovereign state of Gudrof is held by the cadet branch of Glaines-Oldmarch.

Line of succession

The earliest monarchs of what is now Isselmere-Nieland were selected from a small number of noble families. In 1038, the Kingdom of Isselmere adopted primogeniture, formalised by the accession of Ethling (r. 1063–1085) to the throne. Primogeniture was not recognised in law until the birth of Berthuis I the Ravager in 1069. The Constitution Act, 1986 introduced cognatic primogeniture.

The line of succession is based upon four statutes — the Charter of Inheritance, 1013, the Articles of Succession, 1349, the Act of Settlement, 1557, and the Act of Consolidation, 1562 — as well as the Constitution Act, 1986. The Constitution Act established cognatic primogeniture as the means of dynastic succession.

The first in line to the throne is the Crown Princess and Duchess of Glaines, the latter title stemming from the reign of Alfred I (r. 1349–1372). Since 1562, the Heir Apparent is the Duke of Oldmarch as well. The Constitution Act (1986) has subsequently appended the title of Prince of Anguist, which will replace the present royal dukedom of Angforth upon the death of the present Duke of Angforth, Prince Edward.

Next in line is the Grand Duke of Detmere, or Duke of Detmere should the second in line to the throne not be an offspring of the reigning monarch. Again, the elevation of title from duke to grand duke is a product of the Constitution Act (1986). The title itself originates from 1213 when Berthuis IV (r. 1198-1214) began omitting the title of King of Detmere from his formal list of honorifics, granting it to his second son who eventually became Joergen III (r. 1214-1237). After honouring his son so, Berthuis IV reputedly said to the King's Council that, Detmere is worthy of a subject, not a king.^[2] The Constitution's elevation of Detmere to the status of Grand Duchy has failed to satisfy many Detmerian nationalists.

The third in line of succession is the Duke of Daurmont. The title dates back to the first earls of Isselmere, possibly even from the time of Haenulf II (r. 876-883).

The eldest sibling of the reigning monarch is the Duchess of Huise whilst the second sibling is known as the Duke of Angforth.

The Lords High Commissioners of Isselmere and Nieland are known as the Marchioness of Glaines and the Marquess of Oldmarch, respectively, symbolising their stewardship over the two lands.

The present line of succession is listed below:

HINM Henry V, King of Isselmere-Nieland, King of Isselmere and Anguist, King of Detmere, King of Nieland, Lord High Steward of Glaines and Oldmarch, Lord Protector of Gudrof, Duke of Upper Gudrof, Grand Duke of Cerovia

• HRH Crown Princess Ursula, the Princess of Anguist and Duchess of Glaines and Oldmarch, daughter of Henry V and Christine
• HRH the Prince Robert, the Duke of Detmere, son of Henry V and Christine
• HRH the Princess Emma, the Duchess of Daurmont and Huise, and Marchioness of Glaines, eldest sibling of Henry V
• HRH the Prince Edward, the Duke of Angforth, middle sibling to Henry V
• HRH the Princess Catherine, the Duchess of Sluist, third sibling of Henry V
• HRH the Prince Robert, the Duke of Malmquist and Marquess of Oldmarch, head of the cadet branch of the House of Sigurdsson
• HRH Prince Hengst VI of Gudrof

List of monarchs

The following are listed according to date initially established rather than alphabetically. Both Anguistian and early Anglo-Frisian and Norse monarchs were chosen from a few noble families closely linked with the kingship. Consequently, the early monarchies are simply listed as such, with changes evinced by the patronyms, either mab X or Y(s)son, as family names only became formalised between the thirteenth- and fifteenth-centuries.
