Anyone ever heard of the British Royal von Wettin dynasty?
It's technically correct. The House of Windsor was originally called Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is a branch of the House of Wettin. If a dynasty includes rulers of different countries at the same time, as was the case with the Wettins, people often identify sub-dynasties, and so Windsor/Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is a sub-dynasty of Wettin.
