Following Queen Anne was the House of Hanover, beginning with George I through to Queen Victoria. George III is probably the best known of the monarchs of these years, he earned the nickname, Mad King George, because of his bouts of mental unwellness. He was succeeded firstly by his son George and then William, before Queen Victoria. Victoria became the grandmother of Europe, with many of her offspring filling the royal lines across Europe.
The Settlement Act of 1701 meant that after the death of Queen Anne, the British crown passed to the descendants of her great aunt, Sophia the Electress of Hanover, which ushered in a new royal era: the Hanovarians.
