斯图亚特王室

浏览

苏格兰(1371~1714)和英格兰(1603~1649、1660~1714)王室。家族的最早成员可追溯到11世纪的布列塔尼,其中一人曾效力於苏格兰大卫一世,後被任命为国王管家。1315年第六代管家华尔德(卒於1326年)与国王罗伯特一世的女儿结婚。他们的儿子罗伯特於1371年成为国王罗伯特二世,即苏格兰的第一代斯图亚特国王(1371~1390年在位)。其後代在15~17世纪中据有王位的有詹姆斯一世、詹姆斯四世、玛丽二世和詹姆斯六世(他後来继承英格兰王位,称詹姆斯一世)。1649年詹姆斯的儿子查理一世被处死後,斯图亚特家族被排斥在王位之外,直到1660年查理二世复位。随之继位的有詹姆斯二世、威廉三世和玛丽二世,以及玛丽的妹妹安妮。斯图亚特王室的传承止於1714年,此後英格兰的王位由汉诺威王室接替。詹姆斯二世的儿子詹姆斯.爱德华.斯图亚特和孙子查理.爱德华.斯图亚特後来曾经提出过传承的要求,但没有成功。

Stuart, House of

orSteuart, House ofRoyal house of Scotland (1371-1714) and of England (1603-49, 1660-1714). The earliest members of the family were stewards in 11th-century Brittany, and one member who entered the service of David I in Scotland received the title of steward. The 6th steward married the daughter of King Robert I the Bruce, and in 1371 their son became King Robert II (1316-1390), the first Stewart king of Scotland (r.1371-90). His descendants in the 15th-17th century included the Scottish kings James I, James IV, Mary, Queen of Scots, and James VI (who inherited the English throne as James I). The Stuarts (who eventually adopted the French-influenced spelling of their name) were excluded from the English throne after Charles I until the restoration of Charles II in 1660. He was followed by James II, William III and Mary II, and Anne. The Stuart royal line ended in 1714 and the British crown passed to the House of Hanover, despite later claims by James II's son James Edward Stuart and grandson Charles Edward Stuart.
