House of Norodom

The House of Norodom (Khmer: រាជវង្ស នរោត្តម) is the ruling royal house of Cambodia. Its members are direct descendants of King Norodom Prohmbarirak (1860–1904), a son of the "Great-King", Ang Duong. The current head of the House of Norodom is the current king of Cambodia, Norodom Sihamoni. Norodom is one of only two royal houses of Cambodia. Its counterpart, the House of Sisowath, is named after another son of Ang Duong, Sisowath. Four members have served as Kings of Cambodia, and three as Prime Ministers.
