Şi dacă Duda nu câştigă alegerile prezidenţiale? Cum se mai implică Casa Regală în salvarea Republicii şi a subiecţilor săi? E, la asta v-aţi gândit? Nu se iroseşte vocaţia iubirii de popor în primul tur? Ce iubire de popor e aia care nu intră în turul 2? Ar fi totuşi câteva soluţii:

1. Soluţia Geoană. Casa Regală îl sprijină pe Geoană în turul 2 al prezidenţialelor iar dacă acesta câştigă, este adoptat de Regele Mihai. Problema ar fi că reprezentanţii germani ai Casei de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen nu vor accepta un alt prostănac neam de mujici printre ei, Duda fiind deja arhisuficient. Aici soluţia salvatoare ar putea veni de la Vanghelie. Acesta va fi pus să scrie titlul noului prinţ, care va suna probabil ceva de genul:

(Aşa cum probabil v-aţi dat seama, Dus e participiul de la Duce.) Astfel, nefiind obişnuiţi cu o asemenea caligrafie, reprezentanţii germani ai Casei de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen vor accepta noul titlu.

2. Soluţia Vanghelie. Dacă totuşi câştigă Băsescu şi Casa Regală nu va reuşi să aibă un reprezentant la Preşedinţie (o cerinţă normală, după ce a avut un reprezentant în guvernele Năstase şi Tăriceanu), poate avea măcar un reprezentant la Primăria Sectorului 5 (un sector plin de prinţi, prinţişori, prinţese şi prinţesici). Vanghelie fiind mic şi brunet, ar putea fi adoptat chiar de Principele Duda şi Principesa Margareta printr-o fundaţie de adopţii a copiilor străzii. Oricum, era nevoie de ceva sânge proaspăt pe linia moştenitorilor tronului. La urma urmei, Vanghelie are experienţa regilor şi prinţilor din cartier, e vioi, energic, tânăr, democrat, republican şi e din popor. Reprezentanţii germani ai Casei de Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen vor putea fi minţiţi că ăla mic nu e decât nepotul ilegitim al grăjdarului iar dacă vor avea neşansa de a-l vedea la televizor cu coroana de aur pe cap (fiindcă îşi permite – aia de oţel e pentru fraieri) li se va putea explica că aşa se joacă el după ce termină de curăţat grajdul. Toată lumea va fi (v-a fii?) fericită, mai puţin detronatul rege al manelelor, Adrian Minune şi ex-Regele Cioabă.

UPDATE.

Casa de Hohenzollern

First mentioned in 1061, the Hohenzollern dynasty is one of the oldest and most significant Swabian noble families of Germany. The center of the territory once ruled by the Counts of Zollern – later to become counts of Hohenzollern in the 14th century – was located near the Hechingen castle, giving it its name. With the investiture of the Nuremberg castle, a Franconian line was created (1214) from which the Margraves of Brandenburg (1415), the Prussian Hohenzollern (1701) and finally the Hohenzollern imperial house evolved.

The Hohenzollern lineage dates back to a 1061 document citing Burchard and Wezil of Zollern. The name originated in the High Middle Ages from the so-called Hohenzollern castle in Hechingen built in the first half of the 11th century. Friedrich IX. (1339-79) was the first to call himself not Zollern but “from Hochen Zolr”.

Tatăl lui Carol I:

Prince Karl Anton (1811 – 85), consort of Josephine von Baden, called upon the Prussian emperor, his imperial cousin, for help on the eve of the 1848 revolution. On August 6, 1849, Prussian troops rushed to his aid and occupied the principalities of Sigmaringen and Hechingen. Here, as most everywhere in Germany, the question arose whether small German principalities still had a future in times of political and economic turmoil. Both princes, whose interests lay in a unified Germany, gave up their sovereignties in favor of the Prussian crown on December 7, 1849. In turn, they received privileges granted to future born princes of the Prussian royal house. Karl Anton carried the title “Royal Highness” from 1861 onwards. In 1850 he bid farewell to his subjects with the words: “May the people I once called ‘my own’ be happy”. Karl Karl Anton was a knowledgable art patron. He devoted his significant art collection housed in a specially built museum (1867) to the education of his people.

Tatăl lui Ferdinand I:

Prince Leopold (1835 – 1905) was married to Antonia of Portugal. She was the sister of King Don Pedro V. of Portugal who had married Leopold’s sister Stephanie. Leopold inadvertently became the center of attention in European history around 1870. The Spanish Cortes elected him as King of Spain in 1869. Hoping to avoid war with France he renounced. In spite of his renunciation, the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870/71 (Emser Depeche).

Arborele genealogic (începând din 1061)

The House of Hohenzollern never relinquished their claims to the thrones of Prussia and the German Empire. However, these claims are not recognised by the Federal Republic of Germany.

Swabian junior branch

The junior Swabian branch of the House of Hohenzollern was founded by Frederick IV, Burgrave of Nuremberg.

Ruling the minor German principalities of Hechingen, Sigmaringen and Haigerloch, this branch of the family decided to remain Roman Catholic and from 1567 onwards split into the Hohenzollern-Hechingen, Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern-Haigerloch branches. When the last count of Hohenzollern, Charles I of Hohenzollern (1512-1579) died, the territory was to be divided up between his three sons:

• Eitel Frederick IV of Hohenzollern-Hechingen (1545–1605)
• Charles II of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (1547–1606)
• Christoph of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch (1552–1592)

They never expanded from these three Swabian principalities, which was one of the reasons they became relatively unimportant in German history for much of their existence. However, they kept royal lineage and married members of the great royal European houses.

In 1767 the principality of Hohenzollern-Haigerloch was incorporated in the other two principalities. In 1850, the princes of both Hohenzollern-Hechingen and Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen abdicated their thrones, and their principalities were incorporated as the Prussian province of Hohenzollern.

The last ruling Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Karl Anton, would later serve as Minister-President of Prussia between 1858 and 1862 (Prussia era Regat, nu vă lăsaţi păcăliţi de titulatura de President).

The Hohenzollern-Hechingen finally became extinct in 1869. A descendent of this branch was Sophie Chotek, wife of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Este.

However, a member of the Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen family, Charles Eitel, second son of prince Karl Anton, was chosen to become prince of Romania as Charles I in 1866. In 1881 Charles I became the first king of the Romanians.

Charles’ older brother, Leopold, was offered the Spanish throne after a revolt removed queen Isabella II in 1870. Although encouraged by Bismarck to accept it, Leopold backed down once France’s Emperor, Napoleon III, stated his objection. Despite this, France still declared war, beginning the Franco-Prussian war.

Charles I had no children of his own, so Leopold’s younger son Ferdinand I would succeed his uncle as king of the Romanians in 1906, and his descendants continued to rule in Romania until the end of the monarchy in 1947.

Today this branch is represented only by the last king, Michael, and his daughters. The descendants of Leopold’s oldest son William continue to use the titles of prince or princess of Hohenzollern.

PS. După toate astea, Regele Mihai vine şi anunţă că, în calitate de Şef al Casei Regale şi Rege al României, susţine candidatura la preşedinţie a lui Radu Duda. Am mai spus-o, problema Casei Regale a României e că i s-au terminat nemţii.
