House Tordenskjold, the current royal house of Aloia, has reigned since 1901. Its founder was Gustaf XIV, who reigned from 1901 to 1950. House Tordenskjold succeeded House Aurelius as the royal house of Aloia following the death of Queen Victoria Augusta of Aloia. Because Victoria was female, Aloian law and traditions of the time didn't allow her to pass her house to her children. Her son Gustaf XIV established House Tordenskjold on his accession to the throne. The name Tordenskjold comes from his father, son of legendary Aloian Admiral Peter Tordenskjold.
The 1975 Law of Equal Succession granted female monarchs the right to pass on their house to their children, allowing current queen Victoria III to one day pass on her royal house to her descendants.
The list of Tordenskjold monarchs is as follows:
- Erik XIII of Aloia 1858-1950; r. 1901-1950
- Christian X of Aloia b. 1882-1973; r. 1950-1973
- Christian XI of Aloia b. 1946-2016; r. 1973-2016
- Victoria III of Aloia b. 1977; r. 2016-present
