The
Hanoverian Dynasty |
|
The
present British Royal Family is called the House of Windsor. Until 1917,
this House was called the House of Hanover or Saxe-Coberg-Gotta. Saxe-Coberg-Gotta
was added when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coberg-Gotta
in 1837.
In
1917, the name was changed because the British were at war with Germany,
and the Royal Family did not want such a German sounding name.
Queen
Anne was the last of the Scottish Stuart dynasty
Queen
Anne was the last of the Scottish Stuart dynasty to reign over England.
The Stuart dynasty began after the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603.
Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of Saint
Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII. Queen Anne brought about the Union
of England and Scotland which created GREAT Britain. This Union ended
centuries of warfare between the 2 nations.
Queen Anne
(1665 to 1714).
Queen from 1702 to 1714.

Queen
Anne was only 49 years old when she died and went to Heaven.
Nobody—not
even her bigoted father King James II—could force
her to renounce her Protestant Faith.
The
Queen, her beloved husband Prince George of Denmark, and all 18
of her children were victims of the cup
of Borgia.
By 1700, the
future Queen had been pregnant at least eighteen times; thirteen
times, she miscarried or gave birth to stillborn children. Of
the remaining five children, four died before reaching the age
of two years. Her only son to survive infancy, William, Duke of
Gloucester, died at the age of eleven on 29 July 1700, precipitating
a succession crisis. |
This
Queen was a living fulfillment of the words of the Apostle Paul:
"Yea,
and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
(II Timothy 3:12).
With
no living heirs, the Stuart dynasty became extinct and the succession
passed to the foreign German Hanoverian dynasty. The Hanoverian
dynasty was a compromise to preserve the Union of England and
Scotland.
Longevity
runs in the Hanoverian dynasty!!
The
present Queen will be 82 years old on April 21.
Queen Elizabeth
II (21 April, 1926 ----).
Queen
from 1954 to present.

Longevity
runs in the British Royal Family because of the strong German
genes. The only exceptions are when members of the Family meet
an early demise from the cup of Borgia.
The present
Queen will be 82 years old on April 21.
The present
Queen's mother died in 2002 and she was 102 years old!!
Queen Victoria
was 82 years old when she died in 1901.
Saint
Martin Luther, who is the Father of all the Protestant German
dynasties, would have lived to be 90 except for all the Cantrella
of Borgia that he was given. |
King
George I
The
first king of the House of Hanover was King George I. He was 67 years
old when he died in 1727.
King George
I (1660 to 1727).
King from 1714 to 1727. |
|
George
I (Georg Ludwig) (28 May 1660 – 11 June 1727) was Duke of
Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) from 23 January 1698, and King
of Great Britain and King of Ireland from 1 August 1714, until
his death.
He was also
the Arch bannerbearer (afterwards Arch treasurer) and a Prince
Elector of the Holy Roman Empire. George I, the first Hanoverian
monarch of Great Britain and Ireland, was not a fluent speaker
of the English language; instead, he spoke his native German,
and was for this ridiculed by his British subjects.
During his
reign, the powers of the monarchy found themselves diminished;
the modern system of government by a Cabinet underwent development.
During the later years of his reign, actual power was held by
a de facto Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. |
King
George II
King
George II was 77 years old when he died in 1760. He died when his grandson,
George, was 22 years old, and just as the 7 Years' War was ending.
King George
II (1683 to 1760).
King from 1727 to 1760.
|

George
II (George Augustus) (10 November 1683–25 October 1760) was
King of Great Britain and Ireland, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg
(Hanover) and Arch treasurer and Prince-Elector of the Holy Roman
Empire from 11 June 1727 until his death. He was the second British
monarch of the House of Hanover, and the last British monarch to
personally lead his troops into battle (at Dettingen in 1743). He
was also the last British monarch to have been born outside of Great
Britain.
George II was famous
for his numerous conflicts with his father and afterwards with
his son (a seemingly common problem for members of the Hanoverian
dynasty). His relationship with his wife was much better, despite
his numerous mistresses. George II exercised little control over
policy during his early reign, the government instead being controlled
by Great Britain's first (unofficial) "Prime Minister",
Sir Robert Walpole.

Frederick,
Prince of Wales was poisoned!!
Frederick
was George's oldest son and Prince of Wales. He was HATED by his parents
but LOVED by the common people. The Prince was next in line for the
throne and should have been king before his son oldest son,
King George III.
He
was called the "people's prince." He was a lover of art and
music and refused to be anybody's puppet or pawn.
Prince Frederick
(1707 to 1751).
Prince
of Wales from 1729 to 1751.
|

The
Prince Frederick, Prince of Wales (Frederick Louis) (February 1,
1707 - March 31, 1751) was a member of the British Royal Family,
the eldest son of King George II. He was born into the House of
Hanover and was known as Duke Friedrich Ludwig of Brunswick-Lüneburg.
Under the Act of Settlement passed by the English Parliament, Frederick
was in the direct line of succession to the British throne. He moved
to England following the accession of his father, and became the
Prince of Wales. He predeceased his father however, and the throne,
upon the death of King George II on Oct. 25, 1760, passed to Prince
Frederick's eldest son, Prince George (King George III).
Prince Frederick was
famous for having a hostile relationship with his parents.
|
King
George III
With
the death of his father at age 44, George was now the Prince of Wales
and next in line for the throne. All that remained was to get rid of
his grandfather and he would be king of Great Britain. That is exactly
what happened!!
His
grandfather died suddenly in 1760 when George was 22 years old and just
4 years over the minimum age for the royal succession.
Even
though George II was 77 years old, his death was totally unexpected.
The king was a big strong German and actually led troops into battle
at the age of 60:
King
George II died at Kensington Palace at about half-past seven in the
morning of 25 October 1760. Death came to him swiftly and without
warning. He had gone to bed the previous night in good health and
spirits. In the morning he was awakened at his usual hour, drank his
cup of chocolate, and went to make his toilet. His valet heard an
unusual noise, returned to investigate, and found the King lying insensible
on the floor. In falling he had cut his face against the edge of a
bureau. A doctor was summoned and pronounced life extinct.
(Brooke, King George III, p. 73).
King George
III (1738 to 1820).
King from 1760 to 1820.
|
|
George
III (George William Frederick) (4 June 1738 – 29 January
1820) was King of Great Britain, and King of Ireland from 25 October
1760 until 1 January 1801, and thereafter King of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland until his death. He was concurrently
Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg, and thus Elector (and later King)
of Hanover.
The Electorate
became the Kingdom of Hanover on 12 October 1814. George was the
third British monarch of the House of Hanover, but the first to
be born in Britain and use English as his first language. During
George III's reign, Britain lost many of its colonies in North
America, which became the United States. Also during his reign,
the realms of Great Britain and Ireland united to form the United
Kingdom. |
King
George III was a complete puppet of the Jesuits!!
With
the poisoning of his father, Frederick, Prince of Wales, George became
king of Great Britain. He was the king that ratified the Treaty of Paris
in 1763 giving the Louisiana Territory to Spain.
He
was the king that lost the British colonies in the New World. He reigned
until 1820 and at the end he was diagnosed as suffering from "MADNESS."
This madness was just the side effects of the cup of Borgia.
Until
Judgment Day nobody will ever know exactly why he cooperated
with the enemies of his country. His grandfather, George II, was born
in Germany and he may felt more kinship with that country than with
his adopted homeland.
It
could have been the fear of death and what happened to his father and
grandfather but it certainly wasn't money became the monarch had all
the money he could ever use.
Victoria
and Albert
The
next king after George III was George IV. He reigned until 1830 and
died when he was 68 years old. The next king before Victoria was King
William who reigned until his death in 1837. He was 72 years old when
he died.
Queen
Victoria came to the throne at one of the most momentous times in world
history. God was about to fulfill Bible prophecy and rid the world of
the Papal States forever.
In
order to prevent this, the Jesuits needed another puppet like King George
III. At the beginning of her reign, Victoria left the running of the
government to her Prime Ministers. That is until she married Prince
Albert. Prince Albert insisted on his rightful place as her husband
and confidant. She began to share the throne with him and he was very
influential in matters of foreign policy. Queen Victoria's Prime Ministers
(especially Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston) hated him for his
patriotic policies of keeping his country out of wars. His work for
peace led to his demise by poisoning.
Queen Victoria
(1819 to 1901).
Queen from 1837 to 1901.
|
Prince
Albert was the beloved husband of Queen Victoria.
He was a pacifist
at heart and prevented war between Great Britain and the U.S.
in 1861.
Even after
his death, the Queen cherished his peaceful ways, and she insisted
that Great Britain remain neutral in the Franco-Prussian War of
1870, which led to the fall of the Papal States on Sept. 20, 1870.

Prince Albert
(1819 to 1861).
Prince Regent from 1840 to 1861.

For
this table we will assume that George II, Frederick I, and George III
lived to the age of 80. Given good medical care, and the strong German
genes, they might have lived and reigned much longer.

the cup of Borgia, King George III would have only reigned 31 years
instead of 60, and Great Britain might never have lost her colonies
in the New World!!
