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

no the current queen Elizabeth is NOT a direct descendant of king Henry viii as none of his children produced grandchildren and his lineage died out

but yes the first queen Elizabeth WAS the daughter of king Henry viii

the current queen Elizabeth ii is a completely different person who just happens to share the same first name and title

Answer 2

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 3

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

Answer 4

elizabeth the first was the second daughter of Henry VIII by Anne Boleyn (who was beheaded for supposedly being unfaithful to HENRY VIII.

Henry VIII had a son Edward by his third wife Jane Seymour.

After Henry died his son came to the throne. after he died then came Mary she was known as Bloody Mary  because she was still Catholic and tried to force everyone to change to her faith and killed them as heretics when they refused.

Mary Tudor died without having children and that is when Elizabeth the first came to be queen.(contrary to what Clarabel says mary tudor did become queen for 5 years and was not the mother of James 6TH of scotland who became James 1st of england)

when Elizabeth  1st died she had no children so the throne passed to James 6TH of scotland who was the nephew of Henry VIII.( He was the closest living relative of Henry 8th)

Our present queen Elizabeth is a descendant of german royalty and her family name was changed from Sax-Coburg Gotha during or after the first world war to their current name of the house of Windsor.

Answer 5

Yes she was.

Answer 6

Yes she was

Answer 7

Dumb question. Would have been faster to check google then type it here.

Answer 8

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 9

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 10

yes

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

Yes she was............ the daughter of Anne Boleyn.

Answer 13

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 14

henry vlll sister was margaret of scotland and it was her son jamesl who became king so our presant queen is decended from her

Answer 15

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 16

yes. just key into the Internet. The Tudors and you will get an indication of what a bloodthirsty lot they were (and they were not the worst)

Answer 17

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 18

Elizabeth I was the daughter of the Henry VIII.  Elizabeth II is not a descendant of either of them.  Henry had three children (Edward VI, Mary I, and Elizabeth I) but none of them had children.

Answer 19

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.
