The House of Welfburg (German: Haus Welfburg), sometimes referred to as the House of Superior (German: Haus Superior) or the Hanoverian-Jacobite House (German: Hannoveranisch-jakobitisches Haus) is the reigning royal house of the Kingdom of Superior.
The house was founded in 1939 by Prince Christian of Sierra and then-Crown Princess Anne. The house was established at the request of the ailing and childless George III, who wanted his nephews and eventual heirs to be apart of a Superian-based royal house rather than the House of Columbia of the Kingdom of Sierra. In 1950, the House of Welfburg succeeded the House of Hanover as the ruling family of Superior with the ascension of William I to the throne.
Since 1950, the House of Welfburg has reigned over Superior uninterrupted, with the current sovereign William II serving as head of the house. As of 2023, there are a total of TBD members of the House of Welfburg, all descendants of Anne and Christian. The house is one of five ruling houses in the Americas, sharing the disnction with the Sierran House of Columbia, the Brazorian House of Habsburg de Brazos, the Brazillian-Portuguese House of Braganza, and the British House of Winsdor. Through marriage, the senior line of the house is currently related to the House of Habsburg de Brazos.
