The Royal Stuart Family

The Royal Stuart Family traditionally refers to the royal family of Scotland and later Great Britain and the UK, descended from the House of Stuart. The Stuarts ruled from the early 17th century until 1714, with interruptions. Key figures include James I, Charles I, and James II. Their reigns saw significant events like the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution. Although the direct throne line ended in the 18th century, the name remains associated with historic Scottish royalty and branches of the family that continue to exist today.
