The Hanoverian kings, who ruled Britain from 1714 to 1901, had complex relationships with both German and English identities. While they were of German origin and maintained strong ties to their German homeland, they were also keen to establish their legitimacy and acceptance in Britain. As a result, they often favored English interests in their governance, particularly during the 18th century, to solidify their rule and connect with the British populace. However, their German heritage remained influential, especially in cultural and diplomatic matters.

What house was Queen Victoria from?

Queen Victoria was born into the House of Hanover. Victoria's royal ancestors, in addition to being kings of Great Britain, were also rulers of a kingdom in Germany called Hanover. Thus these British sovereigns held the title Elector (until 1814) and King (after 1814) of Hanover, as well as of Great Britain. (In Germany, the British sovereign was usually referred to as "King of Hanover-England.") German law provided that only males could be kings of Hanover; thus on the death of William IV "King of Hanover-England" in 1837, Victoria became queen of Great Britian, but the German title passed to her uncle, who then became King Ernest Augustus I of Hanover.
