The Royal House of Ghassan enjoys full and unparalleled international recognition. Very few deposed Royal Houses are currently recognized by the republics that previously held their territories.
The Ghassanid kings, emperors, and princes ruled several Middle Eastern regions, from 220 CE until the mid-18th century (Christian branch) and 1921 CE (Muslim branch), over 1500 years. Since the first Ghassanid State, the Royal Ghassanids have always enjoyed full recognition from friends and foes. The Sovereign Imperial and Royal House of Ghassan is the oldest active Christian Royal House in the world, whose sovereigns ruled over the largest territory for the longest period, more than any other Arab Dynasty.
During its most recent rule of a sovereign principality composed of territory in present-day Lebanon and Syria, the imperial and royal Ghassanid titles were officially recognized by the Ottoman Empire. Today the recognition continues by the Republic of Lebanon, as well as other nation-state members of the United Nations.
