House of Stuart 1371-1649, 1660-1714

In 1371, the Stuart family started ruling in Scotland. It took a while until the Tudors ran out of heirs, but it finally happened in 1603 and now and with James I the Stuarts ruled England as well.

The interruption from 1649 until 1660 had to do with  Oliver Cromwell, the Commonwealth et cetera.

By the way, Stewart was the original spelling. The later French version is Stuart. Take your pick.

 

In more detail:

In 1371, King Robert II of Scotland became the first Stuart ruler.

James VI was king of Scotland from 1567 to 1625. As mentioned above, James VI transformed into James I, the first Stuart to rule England, which he did starting in the year 1603 until his death in 1625.

James VI's son, Charles I ruled Great Britain and Ireland from 1625 to 1649, when he was executed.

After the Cromwells, the Stuarts were back with  Charles II, son of Charles I, who ruled 1660 to 1685.

James II was king of Great Britain from 1685 - 1688.

Mary II, daughter of James II, ruled 1689 until 1694, together with her husband William III.

In 1702, Queen Anne of Great Britain and Ireland became the last Stuart ruler. Anne was the younger sister of Queen Mary II.

Bonnie Prince Charlie was the last Stuart family member who had a serious shot at getting on the British throne by means of his Jacobite Rebellion. But the rebellion was finally quelled by the Battle of Culloden in 1746.
