A dynasty is a succession of rulers that are of the same line of descent. In the 19th century, the definition extended to "a group or family that rules over a particular field for generations.

Today, the word has a connotation with sports. There are many different sports dynasties, and one example is the New England patriots. They are a football team that has won many super bowls. The Dallas Cowboys are another example. These individual teams represent a sports dynasty because they were good enough and powerful enough to win so many games in a string that they are referred to as champions. Dynasty also has a deeper meaning, such as being the bloodline or ancestry of a specific country. An example of this type of dynasty is the Han dynasty of China. Dynasties could also mean that a particular group or family is dominant in politics or business.

A dynasty is a succession of rulers of the same line of descent. It is used to denote the era during which a family reigned, and position in the hierarchy was known as sovereignty, lordship, and dominion. A dynasty is known as a race or succession of kings of the same line, family, and unremitting lordship of a race of rulers. A regime is usually within the framework of a feudal or monarchical system. Sometimes they show up in elective republics. The word dynasty is also used for people who are members of families with power and influence, such as the owners of successful companies.
