Family tree of English monarchs facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

This is the family tree for monarchs of England (and Wales after 1282) from Alfred the Great to Elizabeth I of England. The House of Wessex family tree precedes this family tree and the family tree of the British royal family follows it.

As to the medieval histories of Scotland and Wales:

  • The family tree of Scottish monarchs covers the same period in Scotland and, equally as shown, directly precedes the family tree of the British royal family.
  • The family tree of Welsh monarchs is relevant before the 1282 conquest by England.

For a simplified family tree see family tree of British monarchs (and alternative successions of the English and British crown for unsuccessful claimants' family trees).

Key

  •    : The red border (bold or thin) indicates monarchs
  •  : The bold black border indicates children of monarchs
  •  : The thin black border indicates other relatives
