The House of Hanover is a royal dynasty that originated in the Electorate of Hanover in Germany. It became the British royal house when King George I ascended the British throne in 1714, following the death of Queen Anne. The Hanoverian kings ruled Britain until the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, after which the house of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha was established, later renamed the House of Windsor during World War I. The House of Hanover is notable for influencing British politics and culture during its reign.

What house was Queen Victoria from?

Queen Victoria was born into the House of Hanover. Victoria's royal ancestors, in addition to being kings of Great Britain, were also rulers of a kingdom in Germany called Hanover. Thus these British sovereigns held the title Elector (until 1814) and King (after 1814) of Hanover, as well as of Great Britain. (In Germany, the British sovereign was usually referred to as "King of Hanover-England.") German law provided that only males could be kings of Hanover; thus on the death of William IV "King of Hanover-England" in 1837, Victoria became queen of Great Britian, but the German title passed to her uncle, who then became King Ernest Augustus I of Hanover.
