Which dynasty ruled after the Stuart dynasty?
I assume you are referring to England (rather than Scotland). I believe that the dynasty to follow the Stuarts technically was the House of Hanover. The last male Stuart monarch was James II. When he was, in effect, deposed, his successor was his daughter Mary, who was married to William, Prince of Orange, ruler of The Netherlands. Mary died first and William continued to rule until his death. They had no heir so Mary's sister Anne followed her. I do not remember the name of Anne's husband. In any event, she died without a direct heir. Her closest relative was George, King of Hanover (one of many independent Germanic states) so he was invited to become George I. So I would have to say the answer is the House of Hanover. It certainly was the most lasting one.
