Patrilineal descent

Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor's patriline is the line from which she is descended father to son.

Her patrilineal descent (the principle behind membership in Germanic royal houses) can be traced back through the generations -- which means that if Lady Marina-Charlotte Windsor were to choose an historically accurate house name it would be Wettin, as all her male-line ancestors have been members.

The line diverges from the British royal line at Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, and from then on follows his paternal ancestors.

Descent before Conrad the Great is taken from [http://fabpedigree.com/s056/f354285.htm fabpedigree.com] and may be inaccurate.
