Paul I, King of the Hellenes (Greek: Παῦλος, Βασιλεὺς τῶν Ἑλλήνων, Pávlos, Vasiléfs ton Ellínon) 14 December 1901 – 6 March 1964) reigned as King of Greece from 1947 until his death.

Paul was born at Tatoi near Athens, the third son of King Constantine I of Greece and his wife, Princess Sophia of Prussia. He trained as a naval officer at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth and later at the Greek Royal Naval Academy in Piraeus. Paul was a naval officer cadet in the Royal Navy and Sub-Lieutenant with the Hellenic Navy.[1]

  3. Irini (Irene), not married

Pavlos died at Athens on 6 March 1964. He was buried in the Royal Cemetery of the Tatoi Palace.[2]

Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg-31 and Oldenburg-176 appear to represent the same person because: Both King Paul of Greece. The duplicate is attached to Sofia of Spain and currently orphaned.

Tried to start a discussion on what the proper LNAB should be for Denmark royals, which could be interesting for this merge (I'm afraid the discussion is not that helpful though). Here: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/365897/royals-schleswig-holstein-sonderburg-gl%C3%BCcksburg-dynasty Thank you.
