British Monarchs

[saintpeter48]

How many monarchs have there been between Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II?

[THECORBYLOON]

If you are including James VI (I) and James VII (II) then you need to include Mary, Queen of Scots.

I don't think Mary Q of S was ever Queen of England, was she? Again, the question doesn't differentiate between monarchs of which bit of Britain, so a fair point.

[THECORBYLOON]

The monarchs listed prior to Queen Anne were monarchs of Scotland and England as Great Britain didn't exist until 1707.

I don't get the Mary Queen of Scots suggestion - she didn't rule between the two Elizabeths, just overlapped the first for a while. Her son's another matter.

[THECORBYLOON]

Mary was monarch during the reign of the English Elizabeth and she was about after the reign started so she was between the two Elizabeth.

George I's wife was not queen consort as she died before he came to the throne.

[jno]

no, she died long after (1726 - he came to the throne in 1714); but he'd kept her in prison for 30 years so I suppose you couldn't actually say she consorted with him.

So where is st peter saying 'ta' for all this brainwork?
