Stuart.
The first Stuart monarch, James I of England and VI of Scotland, succeeded to the throne of England when Elizabeth I died. He was the son of Mary Queen of Scots by her second husband Lord Darnley, and great-great grandson of Henry VIII's sister Margaret. In all there were seven Stuart monarchs: James I, Charles I, Charles II, James II, William III and Mary II and Anne. The period from 1649 to 1660 was an interregnum (time without a monarch), that saw the development of the Commonwealth under Oliver Cromwell.
Stuart Monarchs The first monarch to use the name "Stuart" was Mary, Queen of Scots who changed the spelling from "Stewart" when she was Queen Consort of France.The first Stewart monarch was Robert II, King of Scots from 1371 to 1390. King James VI of Scotland, son of Mary, Queen of Scots, and a descendant of Robert II, became the first Stewart monarch of England (as James I) on the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. The name "Stewart" derives from the ancient Scottish title "High Steward of Scotland" which was held by an ancestor of Robert II. Nowadays, the title "High Steward of Scotland" is attached to the title "Duke of Rothesay" and so is held by His Royal Highness, The Prince Charles.
