| Ruling Family Massacre | comment |
In many Historical Fiction and Fantasy narratives (and of course in many Real Life events), the first thing that follows a successful invasion or government overthrow is a thorough massacre of the target land's current ruling family, be it Royal Blood or just a noble house of whatever. The reasons for such brutality (even children are usually murdered alongside their parents) may be emotional, but it may also be simple shrewdness and pragmatism: La Résistance is inevitable, so why make their job easier by leaving a potential leader/banner alive? This trope is naturally countered by a Hidden Backup Prince (if the ruling family in question is productive and prudent enough) or by a Sole Survivor lost orphan who somehow escapes the massacre. If the ruling family are villains, however, that can end up as Pyrrhic Victory for the resistance forces. A Sub-Trope of The Purge and Family Extermination. Also, this is a Death Trope that often makes a Wham Episode! You Have Been Warned. |

Attempted by Baron Harkonnen against House Atreides in Dune to usurp their place as the governors of Arrakis, but he only manages to kill Duke Leto, while his concubine and son (and unborn daughter) manage to escape the assassins and take their revenge. Also, in the prequel books, an unnamed House attempted this by nuking the former Imperial capital world of Salusa Secundus. Some of the members of House Corrino were killed, but others survived and continued the line, moving the capital to Kaitain. In response, all the other Houses wiped out the unnamed House and had its name stricken from all history books. It turns out that House Moritani is secretly descended from the unnamed House and seeks to finish the job. Also from the prequels, House Vernius of Ix is nearly wiped out by the Tleilaxu (secretly backed by the Emperor, who has a score to settle with Earl Dominic Vernius). Averted initially in that all four members of the house survive and manage to escape. Then the Earl and his wife are hunted down and eliminated by the Emperor over the years, while their children are protected by the Atreides. Then Kailea Vernius ends up committing suicide after accidentally killing her and Leto's son and crippling her brother Rhombur. Rhombur survives but is unable to bear children, so his wife impregnates herself from the seed of a member of a distaff line. Rhombur ends up dying, while Bronso (the child from his wife's act) ends up being, eventually, executed by Alia for "spreading lies" (in fact, speaking the truth) about Paul. Thus, the entire Vernius line ends up being wiped out in less than a century. |

When Gornar, capital of the Gorn Hegemony, fell to the Klingons in the backstory of Star Trek Online, the hardliners on the Klingon High Council wanted to have the Gorn royal family executed as per Klingon S.O.P. However, Chancellor J'mpok decided to test King Slathis' character and fought him in an honor duel, and Slathis fought well enough to badly wound J'mpok and greatly impress him. He chose to spare their lives and grant the Gorn self-rule as a vassal state of the Klingon Empire. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Ancar pulled this trope off-page after he took over Hardorn. In Storm Breaking, we learn that he was so thorough about killing distant relatives (both male and female) that Duke Tremaine, who isn't even Hardornen, has as strong a claim to the throne of Hardorn as any of the surviving nobles. In the Last Herald-Mage Trilogy, the ruling family of the tiny kingdom of Baires covets their equally tiny neighbor Lineas. A family of mages, they'd sent off their scorned non-magical daughter to Lineas for some Altar Diplomacy and later launched a magical attack that killed the Linean royal family except for her son Tashir. A representative of the Baires family then got in a mage-duel with Vanyel Ashkevron which had all his mage-kin linking with him to feed him power, but this also meant that when Vaneyl killed him, all of them died simultaneously. This left only Tashir as the Sole Survivor of both families and the heir to two kingdoms, which he promptly arranged to have annexed by their larger neighbor Valdemar. |

In Honor Harrington, Grayson's backstory involves an attempt at this that nearly works. At the time, Grayson is split between moderates and religious fanatics (who would eventually become the crazed Masadans). The Protector (the ruler of Grayson) is among the moderates. The fanatics concoct a plan to gather all the opposing Steadholders in the same room with the Protector and his family and then eliminate them in one fell swoop. The Protector and many of the Steadholders are indeed murdered, but an armsman manages to get the Protector's young son out of the room and safely hidden, and the Steadholders have heirs of their own. The resulting civil war ends with the moderates kicking the fanatics out and relocating them to a planet in the neighboring system. | |

Inverted in Hamlet, in which the foreign takeover occurs because Prince Fortinbras of Norway happens to be passing through Denmark at the same time that a Gambit Pileup leads to the royal family massacring each other. (Kenneth Branagh's 1996 film depicts Fortinbras' arrival as an actual invasion, but the royal family has already taken care of the hard part for him.) | |

Heroics for Beginners mentions an attempt at this that failed epically because of just how large the family in question was - the overthrown ruler had nineteen kids, seven of which escaped in the confusion of the coup. In addition, the ruler had seven siblings, each of whom had their own families, some of whom also escaped. In total, the usurper ended up with thirty-four unaccounted for claimants to his throne, and eventually was killed by the stress of worrying about the possibility that one of them might try to reclaim the family title. | |

In Attack on Titan, one of the major reveals of the series involves such an event. Grisha Yeager massacred the royal family, consuming Freida Reiss to steal the Founding Titan before killing her mother and siblings. Rod Reiss managed to escape the massacre, ruling in his daughter's stead until several years later. After learning that Eren was in possession of the Founding Titan, Rod intended to use his illegitimate daughter Historia/Krista to reclaim the power. Ironically, it backfires when Historia rejects her father's plans and is ultimately crowned Queen after defeating her father's Government Conspiracy. | |

The roleplays of White Dark Life involve, in part, the lunar wizard Mysta repeatedly attempting to kill Blaze and take her kingdom for himself. (This frequently ends with Mysta being immolated by Blaze herself and/or hurled around like a ragdoll by an extremely irate Silver.)

The main events of Kull the Conqueror are kicked off when the King starts to murder his heirs left and right, as well as anyone who may legitimately lay a claim to the throne. He manages to slaughter his immediate family before being stopped and mortally wounded by Kull. Slightly subverted in that there is a remote member of the family who immediately demands the crown, only to have the general (also of noble blood) claim that it's his by right. The dying King decides to give them a final "screw you" by handing the crown to Kull. The high priest acknowledges that this makes Kull the new king, despite the fact that he's a barbarian. | |

A Brother's Price has this as a part of its backstory: The royal family split up, and the husband of the older sisters was infertile, so the younger sisters demanded that their children become heirs to the throne. This caused a civil war, after which the losing half was put to death. All of them. Except Prince Alannon, who didn't want to be a backup prince and chose to stay hidden. The main plot of the novel is some villains' attempt to overthrow the royal family by killing them all and using what weak claim to the throne a marriage to Alannon's grandson Jerin and being the royal family’s former sisters-in-law can provide to become Queens instead of the Queens. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: A drow house that eliminates another house must kill all the nobles because these are the only ones who can accuse them of the attack. While they don't exactly conquer the house in question (although their position can get elevated if it was above them in the city hierarchy, as is usually the case), they do take in any surviving enemy soldiers. 1st Edition supplement Empires of the Sands. In the nation of Tethyr, after the ruling family's castle was overthrown, everyone who was even suspected of being a member of the royal family was hunted down and put to the sword. The only one who escaped was Prince Lhaeo, who had been sent to the sage Elminster as an infant for training and protection. |

Macbeth initially subverts this, in that Macbeth tries but fails to prevent Duncan's sons, Malcolm and Donalbain, from getting away, which comes back to bite him; however, as he slips into paranoia, he starts ordering that more of his enemies and their families be murdered, most notably all of Macduff's family, children included — which also comes back to bite him, as it sets Macduff off on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. Damned if you do, damned if you don't — and Macbeth is certainly damned. | |

In BATTLETECH, this is one of the possible reasons for the player making a new life for themselves with their family's Blackjack BJ-1. Their family could be betrayed with the player having defeated those that usurped them but leaving them as the Sole Survivor of their house. | |

In the Wings of Fire series (specifically the book Darkstalker), this happened to the SeaWing royal family when the animus dragon, Prince Albatross, went crazy and killed his sister, Queen Lagoon, her husband, King Humpback, his own children, Prince Eel, Princess Manta and her husband Prince Reef, Eel's son, Prince Scallop, and Lagoon's daughter, Princess Splash. Also killed was Princess Sunset of the SkyWings and an unnamed SeaWing musician. The massacre ended when Albatross' grandson, Prince Fathom, and his future wife, Indigo, stabbed him. The survivors were Prince Current, son of Eel, who became a nervous wreck and was taken prisoner by the NightWing, Queen Vigilance, Eagle, a SkyWing ambassador, Fathom, Indigo, and Fathom's 5 year old sister, Princess Pearl, who was promptly crowned Queen as the only surviving female. | |

Battletech universe has the usurper Amaris murdering the entire extended Cameron family once he takes over the Star League. After he is deposed and executed himself, all his relatives are killed as well. This of course leads directly into the Succession Crisis that dominates the setting's history for the next four hundred years. | |

The Elder Scrolls In the series' backstory, the forces of Emperor Tiber Septim, founder of the Third Tamriellic Empire, sacked Mournhold, the capital city of Morrowind, home of the Dunmer (Dark Elves). His legions slaughtered the entire noble family, down to their young daughter, Barenziah. Septim's Dunmeri General, Symmachus, convinced Septim to spare Barenziah in order to groom her as a Puppet Queen who could look out for Imperial interests in Morrowind after the armistice was signed joining Morrowind to the Empire as a Voluntary Vassal. At the beginning of Oblivion, the Mythic Dawn Apocalypse Cult/Religion of Evil carries out coordinated assassinations of Emperor Uriel Septim VII and his three legitimate sons to clear the way for their Daedric master's invasion. However, The Emperor's last bastard son is saved just in the nick of time by the Player Character to lead Cyrodiil's defenders. |

A Song of Ice and Fire In the Back Story, the Targaryen family that ruled Westeros for centuries had been all but wiped out by Robert Baratheon's rebels following the cruel actions of Aerys Targaryen, the Mad King. Tywin Lannister sent his men to murder Crown Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's children Rhaenys and Aegon as House Lannister had remained neutral during the war so far and Tywin wanted to establish his loyalty, though Ned Stark remained angry at Tywin for murdering children. Only two very young children (Rhaegar's much younger siblings Daenerys and Viserys) were successfully smuggled to another continent by their retainers. The fifth book, however, reveals that Rhaegar's child Aegon was also smuggled away to Essos and is being groomed to rule by Jon Connington and the Golden Company, but Tyrion Lannister (and the readers) have some doubts about his legitimacy. The infamous Red Wedding between Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey saw the traitorous houses of Frey and Bolton try to slaughter every member of the Starks, former ruling family of the North, to usurp said lands. It wasn't as successful as they wanted, because there were some Starks who were falsely presumed dead and thus not targeted. They also move against the Tullys but aren't actually planning to kill them all yet. Though they kill Edmure Tully's sister Catelyn, they originally intended to keep her alive but murder her after she goes mad with grief from her son Robb Stark's death - which backfires on them horribly when she is resurrected as a vengeful revenant termed Lady Stoneheart who takes control of the outlaw Brotherhood Without Banners and sets about hanging any Frey the Brotherhood get their hands on. As for Edmure they keep him alive but imprisoned, though his wife fears her father will have Edmure killed if she secures the Frey takeover of the Riverlands by bearing Edmure's son. Also one Tully did not attend the wedding at all (in the books) or took a lucky leak and escaped (in the series). The first Targaryen king, Aegon the Conqueror, wiped out two ruling houses, the Hoares and the Gardeners, using his dragons. However, when he killed Harren "the Black" Hoare and all his sons by burning their castle of Harrenhal, he had the support of most of the Riverlands due to Harren being a brutal tyrant. As for Mern IX Gardener, he and all his family were killed at the Field of Fire, the only survivor being a nephew who died from his wounds three days later. |

As a result, the royal family, whose existence is necessary to the Kingdom's stability, is believed to be extinct. There is one royal still alive, hidden away in magical suspension. | |

In The Bible, this happens to several successive ruling families of the (ten-tribe) Kingdom of Israel, who unlike the Davidic monarchy of Judah did not have the unending blessing of divine right, thus meaning that the nation's history was rife with assassinations and hostile takeovers (the longest dynasty was four generations because that is how long God promised King Jehu's line would have the throne). The most notable examples are the families of kings Jeroboam and Ahab, where God Himself mandates that their male line will be wiped out as punishment for their sins. | |

Season 6 of Game of Thrones revealed one storyline which was not yet shown in the books: Queen Cersei Lannister stayed in the Red Keep on the day of her trial because she wants to watch her enemies (the Faith Militant under the High Sparrow and House Tyrell of the Reach who are her in-laws) burn to the ground with wildfire at the Sept of Baelor. While she finally got rid of them for good, there is still one Tyrell who was not caught up with the flames (because fortunately she didn't want to be caught by the High Sparrow and went home instead), and that Tyrell allied with the returning rightful Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, Daenerys Targaryen, in order to avenge the deaths of her family. In season 7, the Lannisters manage to turn her own bannermen against her for siding with foreign invaders, and sack Highgarden. Together with the Iron Fleet's attack on the Ironborn who sided with Daenerys and were ferrying other highborn allies of hers, both the Tyrells and Martells are completely wiped out as a result. However, in Season 8, there is an unnamed Prince of Dorne though it was never confirmed if he's distantly related to the Martells. | |

Only the youngest princess, who is also the Player Character, escapes with her life by sheer luck (whether it's good or bad luck is debatable). | |

In the Deryni series, seventy-odd years before the events in the first novel, a band of adventurers from a neighboring kingdom slipped into Gwynedd and murdered King Ifor Haldane and all his family. Then their leader Festil took the throne for himself. The massacre is described as seen through the eyes of the only survivor, a four-year-old prince who was saved by one of the servants, and it is horrifying. | |

Blindsprings has the ruling Llyn family killed by a mob. Interestingly, the man who dethroned them wanted to avert this trope; he put Power Nullifiers on all of them and placed them in house arrest. Two sisters survived, though, thanks to the empress making a pact with spirits to save her two youngest daughters. Turns out that after a failed rescue attempt, the house guards decided to kill all the Llyns, and the whole incident was whitewashed. | |

Star Wars: Legacy opens with Darth Krayt and his One Sith trying to do this to Emperor Roan Fel and his family, backstabbing them after a war they manipulated the Fel Empire into fighting to begin with. It goes horribly wrong, however, as Roan figures out the betrayal is coming beforehand and manages to get himself, his family, and some of his Praetorian Guard to safety as the coup goes down, sparking the Enemy Civil War that makes up much of the story as the Empire gets split between Fel loyalists and Sith Quislings (most of whom are serving out of fear). | |

In the backstory of Elena of Avalor, Shuriki killed the King and Queen when they returned home to the royal palace. For their protection, Alacazar sealed Princess Isabel, Abuelo, and Abuela into an indestructible magical painting, and Princess Elena would have joined them had she not left to confront Shuriki in order to buy Alacazar time to complete the spell. Meanwhile, Esteban is spared due to having been in on the coup (and it's more because of that rather than that he's an in-law to the royal bloodline, as Shuriki wouldn't have cared either way if he hadn't agreed). We're also later introduced to Cristobal, who is also of royal blood, but was also compliant with Shuriki's rule because she bribed him. | |

Battlestar Galactica (2003). When the Quorum of Twelve refuse to support Zarek's attempted coup, he leaves the room and orders his men outside to immediately execute them. From his point of view, this is an act of ruthless but necessary pragmatism — if no one in the previous administration supports you, better to wipe them out and present your own rule as a fait accompli. Gaeta is shocked at the massacre and refuses to accept this argument; instead he insists on holding a Kangaroo Court for Commander Adama that fatally delays the transfer of power. | |
