How we built this ranking and what to consider when choosing

This ranking is based on the historical relevance and impact of royal figures who have faced imprisonment for political or personal reasons. The selection and ordering of figures are determined through a combination of editorial research and community participation.

  • Each figure's inclusion is justified by their documented arrest or imprisonment, whether for political offenses like treason or for personal reasons that led to their detention.
  • The prominence of the royal figure and the nature of their imprisonment circumstances are considered, prioritizing cases with significant historical impact.
  • The community has the opportunity to vote for existing figures, which influences their position within the ranking, and to suggest new additions that meet the criteria.
  • The provided contextual information, including examples of British monarchs and others, serves as a basis for understanding the breadth of potential inclusions.
  • The figure must be a recognized member of a royal or monarchical family, whether a reigning monarch, prince, princess, or other high-ranking member.
  • The figure must have been arrested, imprisoned, or detained for reasons that can be classified as political (political activity, treason, civil war) or personal (misconduct in public office, personal disputes leading to detention).
  • There must be historical documentation or credible evidence supporting the figure's arrest or imprisonment, regardless of the duration or ultimate outcome of their detention.
  • Figures whose imprisonment had a significant impact on history or the public perception of royalty will be prioritized.
