Almanach de Gotha 2014

Volume II Part III

Edited by John E. James

  • Description
  • Author
This 2014 edition of the Almanach de Gotha lists the non-sovereign Princely and Ducal Houses of Europe and has been fully updated to include additional families and to note those houses that are now extinct.

With the Almanach de Gotha's return in 1998, after a hiatus of more than 50 years, Sir Stephen Runciman wrote in the Spectator "In this present age, which we are often told sees the twilight of royalty, it is comforting tobe able to welcome the reappearance of the most distinguished of genealogical almanacs."

The 2014 192nd edition follows the successful format of previous editions with family listings including births, marriages and deaths of all living members. Volume II lists the non-sovereign Princely and Ducal Houses of Europe.

This new edition has been fully updated to include additional families with a number of those houses appearing for the first time, including Almazán de Saint Priest, Altemps, Amalfi, Assergi, Aveiro (Aveyro), Bailén, del Balzo, Baucina, Belmonte, Belosselsky Belozersky, Carpegna Falconieri Gabrielli, Castro-Enriquez, Galati, Gallese, Giuliano, Gualtieri, Lante Montefeltro della Rovere, Lobanov-Rostovsky, Lopukhin-Demidov, Mestchersky, Montealegre, Nemi, Pescolanciano, Pozzo di Borgo, Putiatin, Raffadali, Reburdone, Sant' Elia, Serradifalco, Tetuán, Turrisi Grifeo, Unión de Cuba, Valencia, and Valguarnera.

This is the official and authorised publication. The most comprehensive listing of its kind, with an impeccable pedigree, the book remains an essential reference for genealogists, libraries and scholars. There is and never has been a comparable source, a book once described as "the second most important ever published".

John James has studied medieval construction for the past 68 years. He practiced as an architect before following his true love of Gothic. Over the years he has published a dozen books and almost a hundred articles and studies, all on the architecture he loves. At the same time he founded and ran the Crucible Centre in the mountains west of Sydney to fulfil his personal longing for the sacred, and it is utterly appropriate that this last book should amalgamate these two strands of his life, hard as it was for him to complete the last chapter
