Francis Rhodes was able to establish himself at the Congress of Abbey as a legitimate source of authority through his lineage in relation to Queen Elizabeth I. With most at the Congress fearing that Rhodesia would be marginalised by the Civil War back in England, the vast majority supported Rhodes' claim to be the inheritor of the Tudors, and as such, recognised his authority as a member of a royal bloodline. Thus, the Congress declared Francis Rhodes to be King Francis I, and the House of Rhodes was created by prerogative of this declaration.

abstract	Francis Rhodes was able to establish himself at the Congress of Abbey as a legitimate source of authority through his lineage in relation to Queen Elizabeth I. With most at the Congress fearing that Rhodesia would be marginalised by the Civil War back in England, the vast majority supported Rhodes' claim to be the inheritor of the Tudors, and as such, recognised his authority as a member of a royal bloodline. Thus, the Congress declared Francis Rhodes to be King Francis I, and the House of Rhodes was created by prerogative of this declaration. Although the claim of the title of "King of Rhodesia" has never been disputed, and the bloodline of Francis Rhodes was legitimised by the Britannian government in 1814 through the Treaty of Abbey, the exact boundaries of Rhodesia have remained in controversial dispute since the same treaty aforementioned. Most nationalists and traditionalists in Rhodesia, represented in contemporary politics by the Royalist Party, claim that the lands of the realm extend to all of Southern Africa through the theory of Greater Rhodesia. This however, remains a marginalised claim, as the vast majority of Rhodesians recognise the Berlin Conference of 1885 and the Peace of Salisbury of 1901 as having resolved this dispute. Nonetheless, the topic has remained popular for many nationalist, far-right demagogues. Through the claim known as the Francisite succession, the House of Rhodes is claimed by some to be the rightful heirs to the thrones of England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, and these titles had been held by each successive head of the House of Rhodes as the Kings of Rhodesia until 1814, when they were relinquished by the Treaty of Abbey in exchange for the legitimisation of the bloodline of Francis I. Although officially abandoned, many Royalists see the Francisite succession as legitimate cause to rightfully claim the thrones of England, Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. The claim is disputed by the Jacobite succession, which places the Sierra-based House of Columbia as the rightful heirs to the aforementioned thrones. The current Head of the House of Rhodesia is King Edward III, who ascended to the throne on 25 December 2004 following the death of his father Edward II earlier that year.
