Did Vlad the Impaler have a family?
The 12 Julii Cesares.
Paul,
You don't know, I don't know, so he doesn't qualify.
tigtog,
They made the short list, but I thought the Ptolemys scooped the Classical slot by putting the incest in a formal religio-political framework.
Plus I wasn't sure of the correct form of the name - thank you. (But weren't only six of them Julio-Claudians? The next three barely had time to mint their own coins, and the last three were Flavians.)
I tried, but failed to choose one category. If one was hopeful, it would be Ptolemy, cause Cleo embraced the Asp - hope springs eternal what.
Borden, as in Lizzie? If so, then a combo of all five, with heavy emphasis on Gotti and Romanov. One can only hope the party implodes as successfully as the dynasties.
when I saw "pop quiz" I thought you had made up a quiz just for me.
I'm guessing Borden, if it's Lizzie's family
Wow, it's pretty hard to figure out where the Bush crime family fits into this most excellent list.
On the one hand, the Republicans have the arongance and idiocy of the Romanovs. On the other hand, all the sex stuff would suggest the Borgias.
I think I'll have to go with (a).
RSB, you've put your finger on something for me: different answers apply to different parts of the machine. The White House are the Romanovs, the Cheney-Halliburton Axis are more Gotti, and so on.
How about the Manson family? The Sawney Beane family?
