The present (2008) Queen of Canada is HRH Queen Elizabeth II, head of the Canadian Royal Family, her full title being: * "Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." The ancestral line of monarchs of Canada is divided in its early history, with Queen Elizabeth I of England claiming parts of some Canadian territories on 1583, while other areas came under Kings of France. (Before colonisation, native indigenous North Americans exercised their own chieftainships / kingships over various territories of Canada.) The fifth monarchy after Elizabeth I was the co-regency of King William III and his wife Queen Mary II. So Queen Mary was the second Queen of Canada, from 1689 until she died in 1694. William died in 1702, being succeeded by his sister-in-law Anne, who was Queen from 1702-14. Anne was the third Queen of Canada, although, as yet, Britain had yet to acquire dominion over all of Canada. It is interesting to note that, in 1710, four native Canadian chiefs, three Mohawks and one Mahican, visited Queen Anne in England, on a diplomatic mission to request military aid to defend against the French. In due course, by war and treaties through the 1700s, all the Canadian Colonies of France were eventually ceded to King George III of the United Kingdom. The third monarch after George III was Queen Victoria, Queen from 1837-1901. She was the fourth Queen of Canada, but with a difference! In 1867 she confederated the colonies of Canada into a kingdom in its own right, and the four Canadian provinces became one country, the Dominion of Canada.
