Mary, Queen of Scots

• while lords oscillate between decisions
• Where is the confrontation? The future of our collective identity
• The present ought not be distorted by searching the past for wrong doing.
• questionable activities
• rowdy with indignation on her behalf, her fragile reputation, sweetness of temper
• tales of bad faith are ambiguous and masquerade as reasons to oppose
• inclinations of using harsh tones toward monarchs
• far more skeptical than I. Repudiate her
• a formative moment in the history of the realm.
• w/ the queen it once rejected.
• a coherent queen, never subversive, always consistent and compelling.
• Mistranslate, missappropriate, all to often, mis-attribute the doing of others

Seven Stuart Monarchs

These seven used the title "King/Queen of Great Britain", although that title had no basis in law until the Acts of Union 1707 came into effect on 1 May 1707.

• The Union of the Crowns (March 1603) was the accession of James VI, King of Scots, to the throne of England, and the consequential unification of Scotland and England under one monarch. The Union of Crowns followed the death of James' unmarried and childless first cousin twice removed, Queen Elizabeth I of England—the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty. The Union was a personal or dynastic union, with the Crowns remaining both distinct and separate—despite James's best efforts to create a new "imperial" throne of "Great Britain". England and Scotland continued to be sovereign states, despite sharing a monarch, until the Acts of Union in 1707 during the reign of the last Stuart monarch, Queen Anne.

House of Hanover

Ernest Augustus, Elector of Hanover and Countess Sophia of Hanover's son, George I became the first British monarch of the House of Hanover.

Of the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland:

• George I (1 Aug 1714–11 June 1727) · (Georg Ludwig = George Louis)
• George II (11/22 June 1727–25 Oct 1760) · (Georg August = George Augustus)
• George III (25 Oct 1760–29 Jan 1820) ·

Of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland:

• George IV (29 Jan 1820–26 June 1830) ·
• William IV (26 June 1830–20 June 1837) ·
• Victoria (20 June 1837–22 Jan 1901) ·

George I, George II, and George III also served as electors and dukes of Brunswick-Lüneburg, informally, Electors of Hanover (cf. personal union). From 1814, when Hanover became a kingdom, the British monarch was also King of Hanover.

In 1837, however, the personal union of the thrones of the United Kingdom and Hanover ended. Succession to the Hanoverian throne was regulated by Salic law, which forbade inheritance by a woman, so that it passed not to Queen Victoria but to her uncle, the Duke of Cumberland. In 1901, when Queen Victoria died, her son and heir Edward VII became the first British Monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward taking his family name from that of his father, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

• Edward VII (22 Jan 1901– 6 May 1910) · In 1901, when Queen Victoria died, her son and heir Edward VII became the first British Monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Edward taking his family name from that of his father, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.

House of Windsor

The House of Windsor is the current royal house of the Commonwealth realms. It was founded by King George V by royal proclamation on 17 July 1917, when he changed the name of his family from the German Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to the English Windsor, due to the anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during World War I.

• George V (1910–1936) · (until 1917 when the name was changed and the royal house and family were to be known as Windsor).
• Edward VIII (1936) ·
• George VI (1936–1952) ·
• Elizabeth II (1952–) ·
  • If Elizabeth II is succeeded by her child (or a child of one of her sons), the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha will be succeeded patrilineally by the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, a cadet branch of the House of Oldenburg. However, by a 1960 Order in Council, her children also bear the name of Windsor and therefore the reigning dynasty will continue under that name unless changed.
  • According to the official website of the British monarchy, however, "the only British monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was King Edward VII, who reigned for nine years. The name Saxe-Coburg-Gotha survived in other European realms, including the former monarchy of Bulgaria and in the Belgian royal family until 1920."
