A pretender is one who maintains or is able to maintain a claim that they are entitled to a position of honor or rank, which may be occupied by an incumbent (usually more recognized), or whose powers may currently be exercised by another person or authority. Most often, it refers to a former monarch, or descendant thereof, whose throne is occupied, is claimed by a rival, or has been abolished. In some cases, including this article, the term claimant is preferred. Here's a list. (NOTE: Not all claimants need to be active, or even have supporters. As long as they have a claim, they're welcome in this list)
