It takes its name from its oldest domain, the [[Ernestine duchies|Ernestine duchy]] of [[Saxe-Coburg and Gotha]], and its members later sat on the thrones of [[Belgium]], [[Kingdom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], [[Kingdom of Portugal|Portugal]], and the [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]] and [[dominion|its dominion]]s.

Founded in 1826 by [[Ernest III, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld|Ernest Anton]], the sixth duke of [[Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld]], it is a [[cadet branch]] of the [[Saxon]] [[House of Wettin]]. One [[Patrilineality|agnatic]] branch currently reigns in [[Belgium]]((mdash))the descendants of [[Leopold I of Belgium|Leopold I]]((mdash))and another reigned until the death of [[Elizabeth II]] in the [[United Kingdom]]((mdash))the descendants of [[Albert, Prince Consort]].

In 1917, the [[World War I|First World War]] caused the British king [[George V]] to officially change the name from "''Saxe-Coburg and Gotha''" to "''[[House of Windsor|Windsor]]''" in the United Kingdom.<ref>((cite web|url=http://bmsf.org.uk/the-house-of-windsor-1917/|title=The House of Windsor – A Proclamation 1917|website=[[British Monarchist Society and Foundation]] ))</ref> In Belgium, due to similar resentment against Germany after the Great War, the use of the name was also changed in 1920 by King [[Albert I of Belgium|Albert I]] to "''de Belgique''" ([[French language|French]]), "''van België''" ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]) or "''von Belgien''" ([[German language|German]]), meaning "of Belgium". However, the "Saxe-Coburg" house name of the Belgian royal family was never officially abolished, and since relations between Belgium and Germany have been normalized for a long time, the use of this family name has been slowly reintroduced since the 2010s (especially since King [[Philippe of Belgium]] wants to limit the number of princes and princesses of Belgium, and thus the use of the designation "of Belgium", to only a select group of his family).<ref>[https://www.law.kuleuven.be/home/onderzoek/nieuws-onderzoek/waarom-delphine-de-foute-naam-krijgt Waarom Delphine de foute naam krijgt] – website of the Faculty of Law of [[KU Leuven]]</ref>

==History==
((More citations needed section|date=May 2020))
The first duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was [[Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Ernest I]], who reigned from 1826 until his death in 1844. He had previously been Duke of [[Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld]] (as Ernest III) from 1806 until the duchy was reorganized in 1826.

Ernest's younger brother Leopold became King of the Belgians in 1831, and his descendants continue to serve as Belgian monarchs. Leopold's only daughter, Princess Charlotte of Belgium, was the consort of [[Maximilian I of Mexico]], and she was known as [[Carlota of Mexico|Empress Carlota of Mexico]] in the 1860s.

Ernest I's second son, [[Albert, Prince Consort|Prince Albert]] (1819–1861), married his first cousin [[Queen Victoria]] in 1840 (Victoria's mother was a sister of Ernest I). Prince Albert thus is the [[wikt:progenitor|progenitor]] of the United Kingdom's current royal family, called the [[House of Windsor]] since 1917.<ref>((Cite web|last=Ciara Berry|date=2016-01-11|title=Saxe-Coburg-Gotha|url=https://www.royal.uk/saxe-coburg-gotha|access-date=2020-08-02|website=The Royal Family|language=en))</ref>

In 1826, a [[cadet branch]] of the house inherited the Hungarian princely estate of the [[Koháry|Koháry family]] and converted to Roman Catholicism. Its members managed to marry a [[queen regnant]] of [[Kingdom of Portugal|Portugal]], an imperial princess of Brazil, an archduchess of Austria, a French royal princess, a royal princess of Belgium and a royal princess of Saxony. A [[wikt:scion|scion]] of this branch, [[Ferdinand I of Bulgaria|Ferdinand]], became ruling Prince and then [[Tsar]] of [[Kingdom of Bulgaria|Bulgaria]], and his descendants continued to reign there until 1946. The current head of the House of Bulgaria, the former Tsar [[Simeon Saxe-Coburg-Gotha]], who was [[deposition (politics)|deposed]] and [[exile]]d after [[World War II]], goes by the name of Simeon Sakskoburggotski and served as Bulgaria's prime minister from 2001 to 2005.

The ducal house consisted of all male-line descendants of [[John Ernest IV, Duke of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld]] legitimately born of an [[morganatic marriage|equal marriage]], males and females (the latter until their marriage), their wives in equal and authorised marriages, and their widows until remarriage. According to the [[House law]] of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the full title of the Duke was:

((blockquote|<poem>''((lang|de|Wir, Ernst, Herzog zu Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, Jülich, Cleve und Berg, auch Engern und Westphalen, Landgraf in Thüringen, Markgraf zu Meißen, gefürsteter Graf zu Henneberg, Graf zu der Mark und Ravensberg, Herr zu Ravenstein und Tonna usw.))''

We, Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, [[Duchy of Jülich|Jülich]], [[Duchy of Cleves|Cleves]] and [[Duchy of Berg|Berg]], also [[Angria]] and [[Westphalia]], [[Landgrave]] in Thuringia, [[Margrave]] of [[Meissen]], [[House of Henneberg|Princely Count of Henneberg]], [[County of Mark|Count of Mark]] and [[County of Ravensberg|Ravensberg]], [[Ravenstein, Netherlands|Lord of Ravenstein]] and Tonna, et cetera.</poem>))

There were two official [[Residenz|residences]], in Gotha and Coburg. Therefore, the whole ducal court, including the court theatre, had to move twice a year: from Gotha to Coburg for the summer and from Coburg to Gotha for the winter.

For the Court Theater, two almost identical buildings had to be built in 1840 in Gotha (destroyed in [[World War II]]) and Coburg (now the [[Landestheater Coburg|Coburg State Theater]]) and thereafter maintained at the same time. In addition to the residential castles, [[Friedenstein Palace]] in Gotha and [[Ehrenburg Palace]] in Coburg, the ducal family also used the Schloss [[Reinhardsbrunn]] in Gotha, as well as the [[Schloss Rosenau, Coburg|Schloss Rosenau]] and [[Callenberg Castle]] in Coburg, and a hunting lodge, Greinburg Castle, in [[Grein, Austria]].

==Branches==
[[File:Coat of arms of Saxony.svg|thumb|[[Coat of arms of Saxony]]]]

===Ducal branch===

====Dukes, 1826–1918====
* [[Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Ernest I]] 1826–1844
* [[Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Ernest II]] 1844–1893
* [[Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Alfred]] 1893–1900
* [[Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Charles Edward]] 1900–1918

====Heads of the house since 1918====
* [[Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Charles Edward]] 1918–1954
* [[Friedrich Josias, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Friedrich Josias]] 1954–1998
* [[Andreas, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Andreas]] 1998–present

Although the ducal branch is [[eponym]]ous with the dynasty, its head is not the senior member of the family [[genealogy|genealogically]] or [[male primogeniture|agnatically]]. In 1893, the reigning duke [[Ernest II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Ernest II]] died childless, whereupon the throne would have devolved, by male [[primogeniture]], upon the descendants of his brother [[Albert, Prince Consort|Prince Albert]]. However, as heirs to the British throne, Albert's descendants consented and the law of the duchy ratified that the ducal throne would not be inherited by the British monarch or [[heir apparent]]. Therefore, the German duchy became a [[secundogeniture]], hereditary among the younger princes of the British royal family who belonged to the House of Wettin, and their male-line descendants.

Instead of Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (the future [[Edward VII]] of the United Kingdom) inheriting the duchy, it was diverted to his next brother, [[Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh]]. Upon the latter's death without surviving sons, it went to the youngest grandson of Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, [[Charles Edward, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Prince Charles Edward, Duke of Albany]]. Charles Edward's uncle [[Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught]] and his male line had renounced their claim. Although senior by birth, they were either not acceptable to the German Emperor as either a member of the British military or unwilling to move to Germany.

The current head of the ducal branch is [[Andreas, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha|Andreas]], the grandson of Charles Edward. Since the duchy was abolished in 1918, the heads use the title Prince rather than Duke.

==Genealogy==
[[Patrilineality]], descent as reckoned from father to son, had historically been the principle determining membership in [[reign]]ing families until late in the 20th century, thus the dynasty to which the monarchs of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha belonged [[genealogy|genealogically]] throughout the 1900s is the [[House of Wettin]], despite the official use of varying names by different branches of the patriline.
