House of Bourbon / Maison de Bourbon / Casa de Borbón
Philip V of Spain was a grandson of Louis XIV of France. His accession in 1700 connects the French and Spanish branches of the same family; it does not make their states or residence histories interchangeable.
House of Habsburg / Haus Habsburg / Casa de Austria
The brothers Charles and Ferdinand connect the Spanish and Austrian branches: Charles continued the Spanish line and Ferdinand founded the Austrian branch. The family relationship is separate from the location of a palace and from a documented stay by an individual.
Holstein-Gottorp and Russia
Peter III, born Karl Peter Ulrich of Holstein-Gottorp in Kiel in 1728, connects the Gottorp ducal family with the Russian imperial succession. His mother Anna Petrovna gave birth to him at Kiel Castle. This is evidence of a birth at Kiel, not evidence that he lived at Gottorf Castle. Modern Germany and Russia are geographic catalogue headings, not interchangeable historical states.
Anhalt-Zerbst and Catherine II
Catherine II was born Princess Sophie Auguste Friederike of Anhalt-Zerbst. Her natal identity must be distinguished from her marriage to Peter III and her position as reigning empress in Russia. The Zerbst palace association records that she lived at Schloss Zerbst for a time before leaving for Russia in January 1744; the source does not establish the beginning of that stay.
Württemberg and Maria Feodorovna
Maria Feodorovna (1759–1828), wife of Paul I, was born Sophie Dorothee of Württemberg. The Russian Museum records her marriage to Paul in 1776. Pavlovsk Museum describes the estate as her private refuge from 1801 to 1828. This denotes a period of association and use, not uninterrupted residence or an annual itinerary. She must not be confused with the later Maria Feodorovna, wife of Alexander III.
Hohenzollern and Alexandra Feodorovna
Alexandra Feodorovna (1798–1860), born Charlotte of Prussia, married the future Nicholas I in 1817. This links the Prussian Hohenzollern family with the Russian imperial court. Peterhof Museum describes the Cottage as a summer residence used by their family. Seasonal use is documented here without inventing annual arrival or departure dates. This is Nicholas I’s wife, not Nicholas II’s wife of the same name.
