Question

Is elizabeth 11 a descendant of elizabeth1?

Answer 1

IDK

Answer 2

there is no Elizabeth 11 there is Elizabeth II but not XII so there ya go.

Answer 3

No.Her Majesty is 38th in direct line of descent from Egbert (c. 775-839), King of Wessex from 802 and of England 827 to 839.

She is the fortieth monarch since William I (William the Conqueror), and also the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.Queen Victoria was from the German Royal House of Hanover,very different descent from the English Tudor Royal House.Elizabeth I,who never married and had children, was the last Tudor monarch and a different royal house assumed the reign of the country at her death.

Answer 4

She is not a direct descendant but they are related as the King or Queen must have Royal blood, this blood line can be traced  back over 1000 years.

Answer 5

If you mean by Queen Elizabeth 2nd a decendent of Queen Elizabeth 1st no.  Queen Elizabeth I was known as the virgin queen for a reason--not that she was a true virgin but because she had no heirs.  When she died they proclaimed James VI of Scotland as the next King of England.  That is why he is known as James I and VI.  He's James I of England and VI of Scotland.  He was Queen Mary of Scots child and Mary of Scotland was Elizabeth's cousin.  But even if Elizabeth had had a child--well that would totally s***w up the line but anyway--Elizabeth II is the daughter of King George the VII and he was the son of George VI who was in turn the grandson to Queen Victoria.  Queen Victoria's lineage is of Germanic heritage.  Elizabeth I's father was Henry VIII and he was of Welsh heritage.  Are you confused yet?  It's really rather simple.  They are connected not by blood nor DNA but by the job title only.

Answer 6

The House of Tudor ended with Elizabeth I.

Queen Elizabeth II belongs to the House of Windsor and she is the great-great-granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria (House of Hanover) married  Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (from a german royal house) in 1840.

During the World War 1, the UK broke diplomatic relations with Germany and King George V (Queen Victoria's grandson) changed the name Saxe-Coburg and Gotha because it sounded too german (1917), the royal family gave up all their rights to any royal title under the german crown and created a new name for the ruling british royal house: WINDSOR (which sounds a lot more british than Saxe-Coburg and Gotha)

That's how the House of Windsor started (in 1917, with  King George V as the founder).

So Elizabeth II is not a direct descendant of Elizabeth I, though they have a common ancestor: Henry VII

the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is a branch of the House of Wettin (one of the oldest and long lasting dynasties in Europe)

Queen Elizabeth II is the last british monarch with paternal descendant from the House of Wettin.

The remaining Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha today in Germany are still in the line of succession  to the British throne:

Hubertus Prinz von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha -born in 1961, is # 256 in line. He'd hold the title of Duke of Albany (if the dukedom is ever reestablished)

CLARIFICATION:

=============

ll_jenny_ll remark is correct: Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon  became Queen Elizabeth (King George VI 's wife)  but she wasn't Elizabeth I, since she was only Queen consort.

Answer 7

I have taken you back a few years to explain the succession.

The short answer to your question is YES.

Here's HOW and WHY:

House of Windsor

George V (reigned 1910-1936)  

Edward VIII (reigned January-December 1936)—abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson, an

American divorcee.

George VI (reigned 1936-1952) married Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in 1923.

Queen Elizabeth I

Elizabeth II (1952-   )  Current monarch. So, George VI is Elizabeth’s father; therefore,

Elizabeth I is her mother. Elizabeth I was “Queen Mother”.

Answer 8

Wikipedia has the family lineage of all the royal families.  I was rather surprised to find that Diana's family  went back to the Tudors, and that she, Camilla, and Charles are all cousins.

  Elizabeth II is, I believe, related to the Hapsburgs, and a direct decendant of Victoria.

Answer 9

No. Elizabeth I had no children

Answer 10

No.  Queen Elizabeth I had no children, and therefore no descendents.  Our present Queen is a direct descendent of Queen Elizabeth I's cousin Mary, Queen of Scots.  She was Elizabeth's closest, relative, and her son was King james VI of Scotland.  So when Elizabeth died she designated James as her heir, and he became King james I of England.

Answer 11

I think I have the simplest explanation.

-------------------------------------

The grandmother of Queen Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen), was Queen Consort Elizabeth (married to Henry 7th). She is also known as Elizabeth of York.

-------------------------------------

Queen Elizabeth II is a descendent of Elizabeth of York (16 generations).

-------------------------------------

So Queen Elizabeth II is NOT descended from Queen Elizabeth I (who had no children), but they are both descended from Elizabeth of York, Queen Consort . Elizabeth I is descended from her son, Elizabeth II is descended from her daughter.

Answer 12

no as Elizabeth I was known as "The Virgin Queen" she was never married (not to say she did not have her lovers I am sure but she never had children) Elizabeth I was the last descandant on the throne from the House of Tudor. HRH Queen Elizabeth II is from the House of Windsor (formerly known as Saxe-Coburg & Gotha) the current queen is the descendant of Queen Victoria

Answer 13

Heathen Twilight is mostly right, but (me just being pedantic here) I have a couple of (very) minor corrections (his words in quotes):

"Queen Elizabeth I was known as the virgin queen for a reason--not that she was a true virgin but because she had no heirs."

She was known as the Virgin Queen because she refused to marry and insisted she was a virgin, and was even called that while she was still able to bear children (just).  She herself largely contributed to her own cult of personality.  Whether or not she was an actual virgin is open to debate, but there's been no hard evidence to indicate that she wasn't, as far as I know.  One of her quotes is that she would never marry "for reasons I would not divulge to a twin, would I had one."

"When she died they proclaimed James VI of Scotland as the next King of England."

"They" did not just proclaim him king (when she died), she named him as her heir before she died.

"Elizabeth II is the daughter of King George the VII and he was the son of George VI..."

She is the daughter of George VI.  There has not yet been a George VII.

"Queen Victoria's lineage is of Germanic heritage. Elizabeth I's father was Henry VIII and he was of Welsh heritage."

That is partly true, but a bit simplistic.  Neither's ancestry was pure Germanic or Welsh.  Henry was Welsh only through his father's side.  You could just as easily say that Henry VIII was of French heritage (through his mother's side).

"They are connected not by blood nor DNA but by the job title only."

They are connected, albeit very slimly, by DNA through a common ancestor, that being Henry VIII.  The line from Elizabeth II is:

George VI (her father) to George V (his father) to Victoria (his mother) to George III (her grandfather) to George II (his father) to George I (his father) to James I (his great-great grandfather) to Henry VIII (his great-uncle).

Elizabeth II is not a descendent of Elizabeth I, but they do share a common ancestry.

Answer 14

If you mean is Elizabeth II (Roman numerals not arabic) a descendant of Elizabeth I then the simple answer is "no". Elizabeth I was known as the Virgin Queen because she never married and had no children.

Answer 15

askt4 .. Queen Elizabeth the second's mother , Queen Elizabeth , had no number .. as she was not THE ruling monarch .. her Husband was......

Queen Elizabeth the first had no known children.. therefore QE2 is not a descendant of QE1
