Princess Elizabeth (Stuart)

    • You could well be right. Her diet was clearly poor if she did have rickets and I don’t suppose that the average castle was the warmest place on the planet even if it did have lots of tapestries and a roaring fire. She seems to have been ‘sickly’ throughout her childhood – I wonder how much stress might have played its part as well. It’s such a shame she’s not better known as her story is so poignant.

  1. Yes very good but Queen Victoria had no connection in bloodline to anyone but German. This Queen we have now is that same bloodline to Victoria. The Stuarts had no bloodline to Tudor and Tudor had none other than issue to Neville. The real King in law with nobler bloodlines than any contender lives a peaceful enough life abroad out of harms way.They slaughtered my family by fire and sword and thought ,as they did,that all had perished so the Beaufort Bastard could look a king in the eyes of his people. He may well have slaughtered to Princes in the tower too. Richard Neville as King was classed by all as a saintly uncle. Although all fingers point his way the slight chance that bitter Henry the cowardly accountant clocked up some sixty three family members deaths, we can prove.So did he also kill those poor boys of Royal blood. They being my kins folk I keep investigation ongoing. Not so sure Richard the Third was such a monster even though to save England those boys as pawns could be used against him?

  2. No, This Elizabeth’s aunt, anther Elizabeth Stuart married a German prince who briefly became king of Bohemia. When it became obvious that Queen Anne would be the last Protestant Stuart, the English parliament selected the daughter of Elizabeth Senior as successor, as she was a Protestant.

    This was Sophie, who had married the elector of Hanover in Germany. She died a few weeks before Anne Stuart, leaving a son Georg Ludwig or ‘Georgen’. He became George i. He was an ancestor of Victoria. When he came to Britain, he could speak little if any English. He was thoroughly German.

    His great grandfather James vi of Scotland became James i of England on the death of Elizabeth, the last Tudor. James was the first Stuart king of England. He was the great great grandson of Henry vii, the first Tudor to reign. In 1503, there had been an arranged marriage between James iv of Scotland and Margaret Tudor, the daughter of Henry vii. James vi was descended from them.

    It is true that our royal family have German blood, and have kept their German heritage going into the twentieth century, if not to the present. But it is wrong to think they are not connected to earlier British dynasties. They are descended from the Scottish Stuarts and the Welsh Tudors, if rather remotely. They are even descended from William the Conqueror.
