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.
