Haplogroups of European kings and queens

This is my Haplogroup breakdown on Mytrueancestry. Is is common to have so many royal matches? Its only R1b I am getting these matches for.

Wow, you're R1b and most of your matches aren't. I am R1a and 2/3 of my matches are R1b.
 
Actually my mt-haplogroup is R. Is that like " the cheese stands alone?" or am I still connected?
 
Peter the Great possessed the original Romanov y-dna (the later part of the dynasty is descended from his daughter Anna and has the Holstein-Gottorp German R1b, U106) and was of a native Russian line, so he could have been N1c, I2a, or more likely R1a, either Z280-CTS1211 or Z280-Z92, or maybe even the East Slavic M458, L1029-YP417.
 
Three people who claim to be descendants of the Jimenez Dynasty have tested I1-L22 on the royalty project of family tree dna. The dynasty's last ruler Sancho VII, king of Navarre, died in 1234. It is not clear to me of there is paper trail evidence for the claim.
 
Why isn't there any DNA on the Tudor kings and the wives?
Henry VII left no legitimate male line descendants. He had a uncle Sir David Owen, who was the illegitimate, but recognised son of Owen Tudor, some of his descendant tree was researched by Douglas Richardson and published in 2011 book 'Plantagenet Ancestry' but I haven't yet checked this out so I am not 100% sure if any living male line descendants of Sir David have yet been traced. I am a possible descendant of his son Henry. Going further back it becomes more complicated as Welsh families used several patroymics such as ap Owen ap Tudor ap Llewelwyn etc. and a family could end up fixing on any number of patronymics or even using manor or placenames.

To clarify, I mean living:LOL:.

That is not true, these gentlemen are not direct descendants of the Jimena dynasty

+ Genetic characterization of the House of Aragon-Begoña Martínez Jarreta- University of Zaragoza- Genetic study of the remains of the Kings of Aragon prior to the constitution of the Crown of Aragon in 1137: Ramiro I (1035-1063), Sancho Ramírez (1063-1094), Pedro I (1094-1104), Alfonso I (1104-1134) and Ramiro II (1134-1137) -The results revealed that their Y chromosome belongs to HapY-R1b-M269 (No subclades analyzed). Mit-H (6) and U (1)

The ancestors of Alfonso I- Jimena Dynasty

* Jimeno de Pamplona "El Fuerte" (745-805 AD)
* Eneko Jimeno (785-848 AD)
* García Jiménez (835-890 AD) -Married with Oneca Rebelle de Sangüesa and in 2nd nuptials with Dadildis de Pallars
*Sancho Garcés I (Sangüesa, Navarra, 865 AD- Resa, Navarra 925 AD). King of Pamplona 905-925 AD- Married Toda Aznárez-Reconquered Rioja.
*García Sánchez I (919-970 AD) -King of Nájera and Pamplona (925-970 AD)-Battle of Simancas -Married with Andregoto Galindez, daughter of the Count of Aragón Galindo Aznárez II
* Sancho Garcés II "Abarca" (938-994 AD) -King of Nájera, Pamplona, ​​Count of Aragón-First who is called King of Navarre (970-994 AD). He married Urraca Fernández
* García Sánchez II “El Temblón” (964-1,000 AD) -King of Navarre-Nájera (994-1,000 AD). He married Jimena Fernández
* Sancho Garcés III “El Grande”-(992-1,035 AD) - King of Navarre (1,000-1,035 AD). He married in the 1st nuptials with Sancha de Aybar and in the 2nd nuptials with Muniadona de Castilla

These results mean that all the kings of the Royal Houses of Aragon, Navarra, Castilla y León and Ribagorza belonged to the R1b-M29 lineage

In Castilla y León the male line ended with the entrance of the House of Burgundy (1.126-1.389)
 
I had a reason to visit Eupedia recently and I quickly spotted a couple of mistakes on this page. I notified Maciamo... or at least I think I did. :D

The first one has to do with the House of Grimaldi. Thing is, the original agnatic Grimaldis stopped being rulers of Monaco in 1731, with the monarchs from 1731 to 1949 belonging to the French Gouyon de Matignon family instead, although they did use the Grimaldi name too.

The other one is concerned with the Battenbergs. It's generally assumed that Ludwig II, Grand Duke of Hessen-Darmstadt, was not the biological father of Prince Alexander, mostly because his wife was having a long-term affair with their stablemaster at the time of Alexander's conception and birth. In this case, a disclaimer is needed. ;)

Is R1b-L21 Y Dna of August Ludwig, Baron von Senarclens de Grancy or Original Y Dna of House of Hesse is R1b-L21?
 
That is a good question, kmak. Brad Michael Little tends to not openly discuss which men exactly get tested, so I can't say with certainty. I think it's meant to be the Battenbergs/Mountbattens, as I've been left with the impression that his maternal grandfather was an illegitimate son of Prince Louis of Battenberg (1854 - 1921).
Thing is, in order to be certain, one would have to test a couple of members of all still extant branches of the House of Hesse, which is to say Hesse-Kassel, Hesse-Philippsthal-Barchfeld and, well, the Battenbergs. Oh, and there's the Princes of Hanau too.
 
I have seen a kit at FTDNA belong to one of the male members of the swedish royal family, and belong to R1b. Recently it was upgraded and now it's R-FGC39239 downstream of DF27-branch, wich is very common in that area where that family Bernadotte has it's origins, from Pau in Béarn, in the Pyrenees.

Thanks for the information!

Do you know which member of the House of Bernadotte was tested?
