Best Answer

The House of Stuart

The first Monarch of England from the House of Stuart was King James I, who reigned from 25th March 1603.

He was succeeded by his son, King Charles I, who was executed for Treason on 30th January 1649.

From then until 29th May 1660 England was a Republic, known as The Commonwealth, governed by Oliver Cromwell.

In May 1660, the monarchy was restored and Charles I's son becme King as Charles II.

Charles II had many mistresses and several illegitimate children but no legitimate issue and was succeeded by his brother, who became King James II.

James II was forced to abdicate because of his Roman Catholicism and was succeeded by his daughter, Mary who reigned jointly with her husband, William of Orange - they were Queen Mary II and King William III.

Mary II died in 1694 and William then reigned alone until his death on 8th March 1702.

William and Mary also had no children and William was succeeded by the last Stuart monarch, Mary's sister who became Queen Anne.

Anne reigned until her death on 1st August 1714.

The period between James I (1603) and the end of Anne's reign (1714) was 111 years, but the Commonwealth lasted for 11 years, and William (who was not a Stuart) reigned alone for 8 years so that depending on your point of view, the Stuarts reigned for 111 years, or 100 years or 92 years.

The Stuart reign ended 1702. The Tudor reign ended because there were no more inhertitants to the throne. All of Henry's children could not have sex. Edward died at young age. Mary thought she was pregnant, but she wasn't and she died and Elizabeth did not want to Mary or have any sin such as sex when a part from a male's body known as the penis enters the female's back side. and then a baby is produced.

Edward VI was king for just six years, from 1547-1553.

He was only 9 years old when he became king, after his father, Henry VIII, died on January 28, 1547. He was the third monarch of the Tudor dynasty and the first of England's monarchs to be raised Protestant. He established Protestantism and abolished Catholicism in England, and dealt with riots, rebellions, and war with Scotland.

He was too young to rule on his own so his reign was governed by a Regency Council made up of his uncle, Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset, and John Dudley, 1st Earl or Warwick and Duke of Northumberland. When it was realized he was terminally ill, he created a "Devise for the Succession" which named his cousin, Lady Jane Grey, his heir instead of his half-sisters Mary and Elizabeth. He died at age 15 on July 6, 1553. His "devise" was not successful and Mary became queen after just 13 days.
