Pahlavi-Savoy , if someone didn't already mention it
Reza Shah nearly wed ex-King Umberto's youngest daughter in the late 1950's. It's occasionally suggested Italian oil interests championed the marriage.

In Cambyses' "Ravens of the East" TL, I suggested Harald Hardrada's daughter marry one of the Doukid nobles.
When the Doukids get overthrown, she and her husband flee to Norway and she becomes queen there. I would imagine her children would have their husband's surname--even though she is queen and he is consort, he is from a Byzantine royal house and is therefore much more equal.
Basically the Doukid dynasty of Norway. Greco-Vikings.

Weirdest Royal House for me would be a Romanov-Meiji (royal family that had Meiji, Taisho, and Hirohito as emperors). Unite the crowns of Tsarist Russia and Imperial Japan, but find a way to prevent the two countries from going to war with each other.
Kamehameha or Tonga or such pacific islands royality wedding with eitheir Yamato, Tokugawa or such, or Montezuma, or the Inca line, or an European line..
I just realized: for my timeline, I have one of these planned.
Suffice it to say that it involves a state called (in modern Mandarin) Jiān È.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/È

One related one - Tokugawa, yamato or another, or the current chinese one, with the rulers of Ryukyu Kingdom, aka Okinawa (they where once an inependant nation).
How was called the ruling line of the Ryukyu BTW? I never found it.

That is not particularly strange. Check the biography of Chaka, Emperor of Bulgaria (reigned 1299-1300): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaka_of_Bulgaria
Chaka was a son of Nogai Khan, a descendant of Genghis Khan who served as the chief general and power-behind-the-throne in the Golden Horde. Chaka married a daughter of George Terter I, Emperor of Bulgaria (reigned 1280-1292). He then used said marry to establish himself as Emperor.
Unfortunatelly for him, Nogai Khan was killed while claiming the throne of the Golden Horde. His victorious enemy Toqta (reigned 1291-1312) sent his forces after Chaka next. Chaka was killed by his own brother-in-law to convince the Mongols that their campaign was unnecessary. They indeed left the country.
While murderer Theodore Svetoslav succeeded Chaka. He reigned from 1300 to 1322.
Assuming Nogai Khan wins his war with Toqta, Chaka could reign longer and leave descendants holding the Bulgarian throne.
Actually they have intermarried with the wider Spanish nobility and Moctezuma may have numerous descendants by now. But the key word is "nobility". Spanish royalty rarely proceeded in marriage with their social inferiors.
Yeah, I guess if they where granted such titleness, they have went to marry into a more.. correct blood, so to speak.
Frederick the Great was born in 1712, during the reign of Anne (reigned 1702-1714). The succession line could be altered if the House of Parliament wished to avoid a crown union. But lets see what the succession line looked like at the time.
1) Sophia of Hanover (1630-1714). Heiress to Anne according to the Act of Settlement 1701. She eventually predeceased Anne by two months.
2) George Louis, Elector of Hanover (1660-1727). Eldest son of Sophia. Eventually succeeded to the British throne as George I.
3) George Augustus, Duke of Cambridge (1683-1760). Eldest son of George Louis, had already received a Peerage title. Eventually succeeded to the British throne as George II.
4) Frederick Louis of Hanover (1707-1751). Eldest son of George Augustus. Eventually became Prince of Wales but predeceased his father.
5) Anne of Hanover (1709-1759). Eldest daughter of George Augustus. Eventually became by marriage Princess of Orange. Later serves as Regent of the Netherlands.
6) Amelia of Hanover (1711-1786). Second daughter of George Augustus. She was a prospective bride for her cousin Frederick the Great. But never actually married, nor had descendants. She spend most of her time "riding and hunting".
7) Sophia Dorothea of Hanover, Crown Princess (consort) in Prussia (1687-1757). Only daughter of George Louis. Mother to Frederick the Great. Became Queen in Prussia when her father-in-law died in 1713.
8) Frederick the Great himself (1712-1786).
He was eighth-in-line for the throne at the time of his birth. He moved steadily down the succession line due to his uncle having further children and descendants. To move closer to the throne, seven people would have to die and the fertile George II would have to end his sexual activities early.
