Royal Stuart Family

The Royal Stuart Family, also known as the House of Stuart, was a Scottish and later British royal family that ruled from the early 17th century through the early 18th century. They originated in Scotland and became monarchs of England, Scotland, and Ireland, and later Great Britain and the United Kingdom. Their lineage includes notable monarchs like James I and Charles I. The family’s rule ended with the Glorious Revolution of 1688, which led to constitutional changes and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The Stuarts are historically significant for their influence on British history, politics, and culture during a transformative period.
