all the above leads me to believe .


1 we are all related to her #

2 nobody is

3 I am now totally confused with who the heck I am related to.

Considering that descendants of Mary QoS included lads who put themselves about a bit, #1 is a possibility. And there was me thinking my family's red hair was down to us being Irish.

George I was king of Great Britain, not England or Scotland! He could speak little English, had his wife's Swedish lover murdered & buried under the floor of their Schloss! Didn't bring his wife across the North Sea when he won the Lottery! Lovely family!

Point taken. He was also King of Ireland. His predecessor, Queen Anne, (younger daughter of James 2nd and the last of the Stuart dynasty to wear the crown) began her reign as Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland and ended it as Queen of Great Britain & Ireland.
KG1 and his son & heir had a toxic relationship.

Another line of descent from Mary, Queen of Scots may be through the male line of James 2nd. He had a legitimate son and 2 legitimate grandsons.

Ireland was part of the English kingdom when the Union of Scotland & England took place in 1707, it joined Great Britain in a Union 100 years later. Ann was never crowned Queen of Scotland, her father ditto! the last monarch to be crowned in Scotland was Charles II. The regalia was then sought by Cromwell but hidden safely away while the English regalia was broken up & sold. William & Mary sent for the Scottish crown to see if it fitted them, this was refused as it cannot leave Scotland.

The Scottish Crown Jewels are known as "The Honours Of Scotland."

They are The Crown, Sceptre and Sword of State. The first time they were used collectively was at the coronation of 9 month old Mary Queen of Scots 1543. They are on display at Edinburgh Castle.

Historically the Stone of Scone/Stone of Destiny was used at the coronation of Scottish Monarchs.  In 1296 Edward I of England took the stone from Scone, near Perth, and had it built into his own throne which has been used ever since in the coronation of British Monarchs.
