House of Stuart

The House of Stuart was a royal family that ruled Scotland from 1371 and England from 1603 until 1714. It began when Robert II became the first Stuart king of Scotland. The house is known for significant events like the union of the Scottish and English crowns under James I and the English Civil War during Charles I's reign. The Stuarts faced conflicts over monarchy and parliament, leading to the Glorious Revolution in 1688. This dynasty ended with Queen Anne, after which the Crown passed to the House of Hanover. The Stuarts are notable for their influence on British history and culture.
