How is Mary Queen of Scots related to Queen Elizabeth II?
Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to James VI of Scotland and was forced to abdicate the throne to him when he was 1. James VI became James I of England on the death of Elizabeth I. Then the crown went to his son Charles I, who was beheaded, once the monarchy was restored his son Charles II was put on the throne, followed by his brother James VII & II- who fled the country during the Glorious Revolution- at which time his daughter and her husband were invited to be Co- Monarchs William III and Mary II- had Mary died and William reigned alone (even though he was NOT in the direct succession it was the agreement of the government to allow him to rule with and then minus his wife. Had he had children after her death they would have been the next in line at which point it would have taken us away from the relations of Mary QUeen of Scots HOWEVER he never remarried or had children of his own so that NEVER happened). After William died his sister in law- the Sister of his wife and the Daughter of James VII and II. Once it was realized that she would never have a child survive into adulthood the Act of Settlement was passed which then backed UP the family line to the decendents of Sophia, Electress of Hanover and her Protestant decendents- Who's mother was the daughter of James VI and I and there for his grand daughter and the Great Grand Daughter of Mary, Queen of Scots, and through her the monarchs from George I until Elizabeth II all have decended. George I was a great great grandson of Mary Queen of Scots (from now on I'll list her as MQS), his son George II was the 3x great grandson of MQS, George III was the 5x great grandson of MQS, George IV was 6x great grandson as was his brother William IV. Their neice Victoria was 7x great grand daugher of MQS, her son Edward VII was 8x great grand son, his son George V was 9x great grandson, his son Edward VIII and his brother George VI were 10x great grandsons, and that makes Elizabeth her 11x great grand daughter of Mary Queen of Scots. People tend to discount women in history as "non-existent" and forget that women played the most important roles on the historical stage, but the men get all the attention! Through James VI & I daughter- which history largely forgets, and then her daughter who everyone else forgets about it seems (the first answer above for example) every Royal house in Europe is actually all decended from Mary Queen of Scots- thanks in large part to Victoria marrying her children and grandchildren off to everyone with a title at that time in Europe!
