  1. Queen Victoria ascended (rose) to the throne on 20th June 1837 and died on 22nd January 1901 - she was then succeeded by Edward the 7th (VII) after her death.   Previous to Victoria being queen her title was Princess Victoria of Kent and her uncle William the fourth (William IV) was king (until his death on 20th June 1837).  WIlliam had had illegitimate and legitamate children with different women.  However neither of his legitimate children survived him, the throne went to Victoria.


  2. Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, but when she lost her husband Prince Albard, she wore black for the rest of her life and went into mourning.

  3. Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years and seven months (June 20, 1837 – January 22, 1901).

    She ascended the throne after her uncle, William IV, died (he had no legitimate children to be his heirs). Her reign ended when she died on January 22, 1901 from a cerebral hemorrhage.

  4. Queen Victoria (24 May 1819 – 22 January 1901) was the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 20 June 1837, and the first Empress of India from 1 May 1876, until her death on 22 January 1901. Her reign lasted 63 years and seven months, longer than that of any other British monarch. The period centered on her reign is known as the Victorian era. The Victorian era of the United Kingdom marked the height of the British Industrial Revolution and the apex of the British Empire. Queen Victoria had the longest reign in British history, and the cultural, political, economic, industrial and scientific changes that occurred during her reign were remarkable. When Victoria ascended to the throne, Britain was primarily agrarian and rural upon her death, the country was highly industrialised and connected by an expansive railway network. Following a custom she maintained throughout her widowhood Victoria spent Christmas at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. She died there from a cerebral hemorrhage on 22 January 1901, at the age of 81. At her deathbed she was attended by her son, the future King, and her oldest grandson, German Emperor William II.
