Croÿ dynasty

Croÿ dynasty Haus von Croyengreiff
Parent house	Croÿ-d’Havré (agnatic) Griffin (enatic)
Titles	Duke of Pomerania Prince of Stolp

The Croÿ–Griffin dynasty (/kru.wi/; German: Haus von Croyengreiff, Dutch: Huis van Croij), better known as the von Croy family, is the ruling house of Pomerania. In 1695, the modern house was established as a merger of the Croÿ-d’Havré noble line and the ancient Griffin dynasty. It was only as a consequence of the Great Silesian War that the family became the royal family of Pomerania in 1757, re-establishing the Duchy of Pomerania, a realm which their maternal Griffin ancestors had lost to the Prussians one hundred-and-twenty years prior.
