I go with Jagiellons. The empire they created was the biggest state in Europe in XVI-XVII centuries.

Well, Jagiellonians extincted while Habsburgs are not monarchs but still living familly and there is lots of them. We have even polish Habsburgs in Poland. They were imprisoned by Nazists during WW2 because polish prince Habsburg (officer of polish army) refused to cooperate with Nazi Germany, said that he is polish citisen and therefore enemy of German state. Hitler wanted to put him to concentration camp but finally he was released after intervention of swedish king and went to Sweden. Now their familly came back to Poland.

Interesting that no-one has mentioned the Hanoverians. Their reigns, from George I to Victoria, from 1715 to 1901, saw the building of the world's largest empire and even though that empire has now turned into the Commonwealth the residue of influence of the British Empire's political and cultural traditions in the world is still greater than that of any other.

I don't think any family has ever ruled over more territory.

Did they really rule? They rather reigned than ruled.

I would go with the dinasty of Christ. The Catholic papacy. An unbroken chain from St. Peter to John Paul II.

i'd say personally that the Jagiellons but i think Francis I ruled or reigned over more territory than English rulers ever.

Probably Osmanoglu dynasty, since 1299... And Osman Begh's father was Ertugrul Begh. Even today their grand grand sons still live, but I dont know exactly where they live. Possibly France...

I am partial to the Palaeologan dynasty, which ruled what was left of the Byzantine Empire from 1261 to 1453 A.D.  They were the last rulers in the imperial tradition of the Roman Empire.  The bravery of Constantine XI Palaeologus at the fall of Constantinople in 1453 is especially commendable.

The problem is that Constantine Palaeologus lost the remnants of the Empire to the Turks.

Jagiellonians. I pick them because:

1. Their empire - from Odra to Volga, from Baltic to Black sea. In that time Polish-Lithuanian union (during last days of Zygmunt August's regin - commonwealth) was the biggest in Europe.

2. It was great country, but not russian-like great but only with 2-3 representative cities, and nothing more. Lots of bridges, castles and other wonders of reinessance architecture were bulided during their regin.

3. Character of whole dynasty. In Jagiellonian dynasty we can find crusaders (Wadysaw III), great leaders and politics, protectors of artists... but I never knew about any despotic and brutal Jagiellon.

And what was the name of the dynasty that ruled when the Western Crusaders had control of Byzantium, AD 1204-1261?

     If time is the test of greatness, there is none greater than the Bagratids of Georgia. They ruled from the early 9th century to the early 19th century, a millenium of uninterrupted rule.
