The Tudors are closer then we think to the current royal family. To be honest, I did not even realize there was a link between the Windsors & the Tudors. But, after much research by V. Catoggio, an English Literature Teacher, the Tudors are still "around us". It can be very confusing to follow, but here is how:
Elizabeth II is Daughter of George VI
George VI is Son of George V
George V is Son of Edward VII
Edward VII was the Son of Queen Victoria
Queen Victoria was the Daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent & Strathearn
Prince Edward was Son of George III
George III was Son of Fredirick, Prince of Wales
Fredeirck was Son of George II
George II was Son of George I
George I was the Son of, Sophia of Hanover
Sophia of Hanover was the Daughter of, Elizabeth of Bohemia
Elizabeth of Bohemia was Daughter of James I
James I was the Son of Mary Queen of Scots (MQOS)
MQOS was the Daughter of James V of Scotland
James V of Scotland was the Son of Margaret Tudor
Margaret Tudor was the Daughter of Henry VII Tudor
End Result
Elizabeth II is the GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Granddaughter of Henry VII TUDOR...
A thought that came to mind, it's ironic that Elizabeth I executed MQOS for treason & that currently MQOS descendant is the Queen of England.
In addition, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge (Son of Prince Charles & Princess Diana), will be the first descendant of Charles II. Here is how:
Charles II was Son of Charles I
Charles I was Son of James I
Charles II had no legitimate heirs, therefore his Brother, James II succeeded him.
James II was succeeded by his Daughter Mary II who died childless and left her Sister Anne, Queen of Great Britain.
Anne also died childless.
Therefore, the line of Charles 1 would be extinct, however his Son, Charles II had several illegitimate children.
End Result
Charles II's Son Henry Fitzroy, was the GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandfather of Diana of Princess of Wales, making William a direct descendant of Charles II.
Quite Fascinating..........
Thank you Mr. Catoggio for your research. Our site appreciates it very much.
*Wikepedia was very helpful for putting this information altogether *
