Sophia, Electress of Hanover (1630-1714) to 1714. As the daughter of Elizabeth Stuart, in turn the daughter of James I Stuart of England and Scotland, she was inserted into the line of succession to the British throne behind Queen Anne for the purpose of cutting off any claim by the Catholic [James III]? Stuart. Upon her death, the heir presumptive became her son [George I]?, who was made king when Queen Anne died.
