I know I can look this up, but I have a quick question . Was Queen Elizabeth 1 the daughter of Henry the v111

Question

And is the present Queen Elizabeth the direct decendent of Henry and and therefore Elizabeth1? I'm a little confused. Appreciate your help

Answer 1

Elizabeth 1st was Henry the 8th daughter but she was the last of the tudors, the throne passed to James 6th of Scotland to become james 1st of England he was marys son who was Henrys daughter and Elizabeths half sister but because of her catholic faith couldn't become queen as Henry had set up the Church of England and as the head no catholics could therefore rule England. James became the first of the Stewarts to rule.

Elizabeth 2nd is from the Windsor family so not a descendant of Henry or Elizabeth 1st.

Answer 2

Yes, Queen Elizabeth 1 was the daughter of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII. Anne Boleyn was Henry's second wife (after Catherine of Aragon) and they were Tudors. The present Queen Elizabeth II is a Windsor, who started out a Saxe-Gotha-Coburg, House of Wettin of Germany....Henry VIII being Elizabeth R's father, his only relation to Elizabeth Windsor would be as a great-uncle many, many times removed....In other words, her line of descent is divergent from Henry VIII's. Remember, of course, that all the royal houses of Europe are related in some fashion or another!!!!

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth I was the daughter of Henry VIII by his second wife, Anne Boleyn.

Queen Elizabeth II is not a direct descendant of either of them; however, she is directly descended from Henry VII through his daughter, Margaret Tudor. This would make Henry VIII a great to some power uncle, and Elizabeth I a first cousin many times removed.

Answer 4

Queen Elizabeth I was the second daughter, and second child of King Henry VIII. Her mother was Anne Boleyn.

No, the present Queen Elizabeth is not a direct descendant--Elizabeth I had no children, and so made King James VI of Scotland her heir.

Answer 5

Yes, Elizabeth I was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, his second wife.
The current Queen, Elizabeth II, is not a direct descendant, because Elizabeth I had no children, and Henry VII had no grandchildren.
They are related, but not directly descended.

Answer 6

Yes Elizabeth the I was the daughter of Henry VIII and Elizabeth II is not a direct descendent

Answer 7

Yes, QE I was the daughter of Henry VIII. Second daughter, which is why she didn't become queen until 11 years after his death -- her half-brother, Edward, was king for five or six years, and then her half-sister, Mary (also known as Bloody Mary), was queen for five years. (Her half-sister Mary was NOT Mary, Queen of Scots. Mary, Queen of Scots was a cousin of QE I - QE 1's grandfather, Henry VII, was Mary Queen of Scots great-grandfather.)

None of Henry VIII's children had off-spring, so the Tudor line died out and was inherited by the Scottish branch. James VI of Scotland, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots, became James I of England in 1603. After that, there were several shifts in the monarch (after the Stuarts came the Hanoverians and the Saxe-Coberg-Gotha, which segued into the House of Windsor after World War I (to sound "less German"). QE II is distantly related to QE I, but is not a direct descendent.

Answer 8

Elizabeth I is the daughter of King Henry VIII and Ann Boleyn.

Answer 9

Yes, Queen Elizabeth I born as Princess Elizabeth Tudor was in fact King Henry VIII's second daughter with Queen Anne Boleyn. Unforunately, Queen Elizabeth I remained unmarried, died childless and the Tudor Dynasty died with her. It was her nephew (a distant relative) King James I of England (King James VI of Scotland) who succeeded her. Although, the current Queen Elizabeth II is related to all of the other historical English monarch, they are very very distant relatives.

Answer 10

Queen Elizabeth II is at as quickly as descended from King James I, who replaced into Queen Elizabeth I's first cousin two times got rid of. to that end, if i'm counting the generations wisely, Elizabeth II is a universal cousin fourteen circumstances got rid of of Elizabeth I.
