The Facebook group Adel in Nederland focused on the Von Amsbergs today, the King's birthday.
The King is more "noble" than many European nobles: not only has he two noble parents, four noble grandparents, eight noble great-grandparents but even sixteen noble great-great-grandparents. Nobles in 2020 with 16 full quarters (30 blueblooded parents, grandparents etc.) are pretty rare.
From these sixteen great-great-grandparents four belong to the "Briefadel" (ennobled in the 1800's) and twelve great-grandparents belong to the "Uradel" (Old Nobility).
Briefadel:
Von Amsberg
Von Gutschmid
Von Salviati
Von Chelius
Uradel:
Von Passow
Von Vieregge
Von dem Bussche-Haddenhausen
Von dem Bussche-Ippenburg
Zur Lippe
Von Wartensleben
Von Cramm
Von Sierstorpff-Driburg
Von Mecklenburg-Schwerin
Von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt
Van Oranje-Nassau
Zu Waldeck und Pyrmont
With the new generation these 16 noble great-great-grandparents will be halved as Máxima has no noble ancestors.
