Decolonization

[edit]

By this qualification, aren't all the Commonwealth Realms and the UK in personal union under their king? ISTM Canada should be listed under the Americas.Pithecanthropus4152 (talk) 21:28, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

dissolutions

[edit]
[Personal unions] can also be codified (i.e., the constitutions of the states clearly express that they shall share the same person as head of state) or non-codified, in which case they can easily be broken (e.g., by the death of the monarch when the two states have different succession laws).

Has a union of monarchies ever been dissolved by the extinction of descendants of the marriage that created it? —Tamfang (talk) 21:51, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One example that comes to mind is List of Navarrese monarchs#House of Capet, 1284–1349. Keriluamox (talk) 09:25, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, that looks more like the case of Hanover 1837: the successor in Navarre, at least, was a descendant. —Tamfang (talk) 03:36, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Non-hereditary

[edit]

"The ruler in a personal union does not need to be a hereditary monarch" - does the President of France's role as Co-Prince of Andorra create a personal union between France and Andorra? Vultur~enwiki (talk) 16:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
