Dynasty : All The Best Free Flash Games Relating To Dynasty
A dynasty, from the greek dunasteia, is a succession of rulers of a country, more precisely a kingdom, empire or any other form of monarchy, all of the same family. Actually, some dynasties are also referred to as “houses” (the House of Hapsburg) or “families” (the British Royal Family).
The very first British dynasty was that of the House of Wessex, whose members of the family ruled from 802 to 1066, with a short break between 1016 to 1042 (time for the House of Denmark to take the lead).
But the most famous dynasties are probably those of the Tudors and of the Stuarts. Tudors are famous for the conspiracy and scheme atmosphere (notably between Jane and Queen Mary) at the time of their reign.
Today, we may refer to dynasty so as to talk about famous families. Usually, a dynasty is used to describe artists' families, but also designers, writers, movie directors, and so on. The word is also used by the Chinese airline China Airlines as its call sign. Chinese dynasties are obviously among the most famous, powerful and ancient dynasties. The Shang dynasty is the first known Chinese dynasty, and ruled from 1570 B.-C., that is, a lot earlier than the British ones...

Chinese dynasties are actually among the most impressive, as much about their organizational and military strategy as about their cultural influence (for instance Ming vases are called this way because they were made during that dynasty, and everybody knows what they stand for).
