This video shows the lands ruled by all the male-line descendant of the ten greatest European royal houses.
The ten houses are:
1) The Capetians (including the Robertians, ancostors of Hugh Capet) and their cadet branches (Bourbons, Anjou, Valois, Orleans, Braganza...).
2) The House of Ivrea or Anscarids (including the illegitimate branch of Trastamara) which is the first family to die out in 1530.
3) The House of Obertenghi, an ancient noble family that soon split into two branches: the Italian one will give birth to many important families such as Este, Malaspina, Pallavicino and Cavalcabò, while the German one will become the House of Welf (lately House of Brunswick Luneburg and House of Hannover).
4)The Habsburgs (the House of Habsburg-Lorraine is not included because the Habsburgs male-line ends in 1780 with Maria Theresa).
5) The House of Wettin (including all the many cadet branches, such as Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, lately named Windsor).
6) The House of Savoy and its cadet branches.
7) The House of Wittelsbach and its cadet branches.
8) The House of Hohenzollern and its cadet branches.
9) The House of Oldenburg and its cadet branches (including the Romanov and the Mountbatten-Windsor, to which it belongs King Charles III).
10) The House of Nassau and its cadet branches (the current queen of Netherlands isn't included because she inheredited the crown though his mother, so not though male line).
The ten houses had been chosen following the criteria expressed in this video by @UsefulCharts:

I focused only on the European lands, except for the coastal town in North Africa owned by Spain and Portugal and for the British colonies in Middle East.
Prince-bishoprics and other ecclesiastic territories are not considered.
Only properly monarchs are considered, not regent or king consort.
Due to the lack of data, the land borders may not be accurate, mostly In the first part of the video.
