Contemporary history
Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg (1839-present)
Orange-Nassau Dynasty (1815-1890)
- King-Grand Duke William I (1839-1840)
- Personal union with the Dutch branch of the House of Orange-Nassau, Kings of the Netherlands.

- King-Grand Duke William III (1849-1890)
- The citadel of Luxemburg is occupied by Prussia in 1866 (dissolution of the German Confederation with the defeat of Austria).
Nassau-Weilburg Dynasty (from 1890)
- Grand-Duke Adolf of Nassau (1890-1905)
- Personal union with the Netherlands ceased in 1890. As result of a pact of succession, concluded in 1783 between the Dutch and German branches of the House of Orange-Nassau, the throne reverted to Adolf of Nassau (1890-1905)

Belgian Era (1830-1839)
- The province did join the Belgian Revolution (with exception of the City of Luxembourg, occupied by the German Confederation Army). The Treaty of the 24 Articles (1831) did split the province in two halves. The Eastern part (the later Grand-Duchy) was conceaded to the Netherlands, but remained part of Belgium until 1839, because King William I did only accept the Treaty of 24 Articles in 1839.
