the dutch Gerulfingians
The Belgian-Dutch (the Dutch Revolt resulting in the lasting split of our duchy Brabant), well Brabantian most appropriate term, house of Reginar (the Leuven/Brabant branch was the most prominent).

Ah good point. Perhaps she marries Henry Fitzroy? A bit of Consanguinity is always goodGood idea with the Tudor but the descendant of Elisabeth wouldn't be Tudor and if they took the name they would just create the second house of Tudor as House were generally passed down via the male line.
How about Fatimid?
My vote goes for the Solomonid dynasty. So close... so close.
That's probably partly because most AH.commers live in Europe or the USA, and partly because the tradition of defining a male-line succession of rulers and calling it the 'House of X' didn't actually happen in a huge amount of places outside Europe during the Medieval period - I know my country, New Zealand, only got interested in dynasties for about twenty years in the mid 19th century, with Iwi leadership travelling in clans most of the rest of the time. Also, the Medieval period only actually happened in Europe and the surrounding area, so the OP is essentially asking for dynasties from that geographic locale.There's a lot of European dynasties mentioned.
England - Godwinsons, Blois, Plantagenets
Sicily - Hohenstaufens
Holy Roman Empire - Hohenstaufens, Luxembourg
Hungary - Arpads
Byzantine Empire - Komnenoi, Laskarids
Bohemia - Premyslids
Denmark - Estrids
In the end, however, the fall of the Song could have been the thing that saved Native European Civilization. An industrialized Song, with guns and railroads expanding across the steppes, would have plowed over Europe like a developer over an anthill.All The Way Across the World in China: The Song Dynasty. Their advancements in a time of stagnation are astounding beyond words and surpass all such similar attempts elsewhere outright. They have the added bonus of not burning books older than their entire people. Which is a pretty big thing for me.
In Europe, though the Song are contemporary to the Middle-Ages, The Carolingians. For a singular brief moment, light shined out again... and then it was gone.
Europe is a terribly difficult bit of land take and hold in its entirety even if your power Base is in Europe a campaign like this would probably be a tactical victory at most and a complete strategic failure that sends the nation into decline at worst.In the end, however, the fall of the Song could have been the thing that saved Native European Civilization.

Didn't they later result in the house of Hesse ?The Belgian-Dutch (the Dutch Revolt resulting in the lasting split of our duchy Brabant), well Brabantian most appropriate term, house of Reginar (the Leuven/Brabant branch was the most prominent).
