FULL LIST OF BRITISH MONARCHS BEFORE QUEEN ELIZABETH II

Before the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the United Kingdom witnessed the reign of several monarchs
However, Queen Elizabeth II seems to be the most popular of them all and also the longest-serving ruler of the United Kingdom
Before her, the United Kingdom had been ruled by eleven monarchs with two queens before Queen Elizabeth II
The news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving monarch since the beginning of modern history shook the whole world into mourning.
The glorious monarch ruled over the United Kingdom for over 70 years witnessing the appointment of 15 UK prime ministers, 12 United States presidents, and all the military and civilian presidents of Nigeria.

Her death was announced by Buckingham Palace on Thursday, September 8, 2022.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement:

“The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”

However, before the ascension of Queen Elizabeth II, we take a look back at the monarchs before her reign.

Here is the full list



QUEEN ANNE 1702 – 1714

At 37 years of age, Anne, daughter of James II ascended the throne as the first British monarch. According to Britannica , she was born on February 6, 1665, in London .
It was gathered that she became queen in March 1702, where she ruled until 1714 after her demise.

KING GEORGE I 1714 -1727

Son of Sophia and the Elector of Hanover, great-grandson of James I. The 54-year-old George arrived in England able to speak only a few words of English with his 18 cooks and 2 mistresses in tow.

George never learned English, so the conduct of national policy was left to the government of the time with Sir Robert Walpole becoming Britain’s first Prime Minister.

George spent little time in England – he preferred his beloved Hanover, although he was implicated in the South Sea Bubble financial scandal of 1720.

KING GEORGE II 1727 – 1760

Only son of George I. He was more English than his father but still relied on Sir Robert Walpole to run the country.

George was the last English king to lead his army into battle at Dettingen in 1743.

In 1745 the Jacobites tried once again to restore a Stuart to the throne. Prince Charles Edward Stuart, ‘Bonnie Prince Charlie’. landed in Scotland.

He was routed at Culloden Moor by the army under the Duke of Cumberland, known as ‘Butcher’ Cumberland. Bonnie Prince Charlie escaped to France with the help of Flora MacDonald, and finally died a drunkard’s death in Rome.

KING GEORGE III 1760 – 1820

He was the grandson of George II and the first English-born and English-speaking monarch since Queen Anne.

His reign was one of elegance and the age of some of the greatest names in English literature – Jane Austen, Byron, Shelley, Keats, and Wordsworth.

It was also the time of great statesmen like Pitt and Fox and great military men like Wellington and Nelson.

In 1773 the ‘Boston Tea Party was the first sign of the troubles that were to come in America. The American Colonies proclaimed their independence on July 4th 1776.

George was well-meaning but suffered from a mental illness due to intermittent porphyria and eventually became blind and insane. His son ruled as Prince Regent after 1811 until George’s death.

KING GEORGE IV 1820 – 1830

Known as the ‘First Gentleman of Europe’. He had a love of art and architecture but his private life was a mess, to put it mildly! He married twice, once in 1785 to Mrs. Fitzherbert, secretly as she was a Catholic, and then in 1795 to Caroline of Brunswick. Mrs. Fitzherbert remained the love of his life. Caroline and George had one daughter, Charlotte in 1796 but she died in 1817. George was considered a great wit but was also a buffoon and his death was hailed with relief.

KING WILLIAM IV 1830 – 1837

Known as the ‘Sailor King’ (for 10 years the young Prince William, brother of George IV, served in the Royal Navy), he was the third son of George III. Before his accession, he lived with Mrs. Jordan, an actress, by whom he had ten children. When Princess Charlotte died, he had to marry in order to secure succession.

He married Adelaide of Saxe-Coburg in 1818. He had two daughters but they did not live. He hated pomp and wanted to dispense with the Coronation. The people loved him because of his lack of pretension.

During his reign, Britain abolished slavery in the colonies in 1833. The Reform Act was passed in 1832, this extended the franchise to the middle classes on a basis of property qualifications.

QUEEN VICTORIA 1837 – 1901

Victoria was the only child of Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg and Edward Duke of Kent, the fourth son of George III.

The throne Victoria inherited was weak and unpopular. Her Hanoverian uncles had been treated with irreverence.

In 1840 she married her cousin Albert of Saxe-Coburg. Albert exerted tremendous influence over the Queen and until his death was the virtual ruler of the country.

The Queen withdrew from public life after the death of Albert in 1861 until her Golden Jubilee in 1887. Her reign saw the British Empire double in size and in 1876 the Queen became Empress of India , the ‘Jewel in the Crown’. When Victoria died in 1901, the British Empire and British world power had reached their highest point.
She had nine children, 40 grandchildren, and 37 great-grandchildren, scattered all over Europe.

KING EDWARD VII 1901 – 1910

A much-loved king, the opposite of his dour father. He loved horse racing, g*mbling, and women! This Edwardian Age was one of elegance. Edward had all the social graces and many sporting interests, yachting and horse racing – his horse Minoru won the Derby in 1909. Edward married the beautiful Alexandra of Denmark in 1863 and they had six children.

The eldest, Edward Duke of Clarence, died in 1892 just before he was to marry Princess Mary of Teck. When Edward died in 1910 it is said that Queen Alexandra brought his current mistress Mrs. Keppel to his bedside to take her farewell. His best-known mistress was Lillie Langtry, the ‘Jersey Lily’.

KING GEORGE V 1910 – 1936

George had not expected to be king, but when his elder brother died he became the heir-apparent. He had joined the Navy as a cadet in 1877 and loved the sea. He was a bluff, hearty man with a ‘quarter-deck’ manner.

In 1893 he married Princess Mary of Teck, his dead brother’s fiancee. His years on the throne were difficult; the First World War in 1914 – 1918 and the troubles in Ireland which lead to the creation of the Irish Free State were considerable problems. In 1932 he began the royal broadcasts on Christmas Day and in 1935 he celebrated his Silver Jubilee.

His later years were overshadowed by his concern about the Prince of Wales and his infatuation with Mrs. Simpson.

KING EDWARD VIII June 1936 – December 1936

Edward was the most popular Prince of Wales Britain has ever had. Consequently when he renounced the throne to marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson the country found it almost impossible to believe. The people as a whole knew nothing about Mrs. Simpson until early in December 1936.

Mrs. Simpson was an American, a divorcee and had two husbands still living. This was unacceptable to the Church, as Edward had stated that he wanted her to be crowned with him at the Coronation which was to take place the following May. Edward abdicated in favour of his brother and took the title, "Duke of Windsor". He went to live abroad.

KING GEORGE VI 1936 – 1952

George was a shy and nervous man with a very bad stutter, the exact opposite of his brother the Duke of Windsor, but he had inherited the steady virtues of his father George V. He was very popular and well loved by the British people. The prestige of the throne was low when he became king, but his wife Elizabeth and his mother Queen Mary were outstanding in their support of him.

The Second World War started in 1939 and throughout the King and Queen set an example of courage and fortitude. They remained at Buckingham Palace for the duration of the war in spite of the bombing. The Palace was bombed more than once. The two Princesses, Elizabeth and Margaret, spent the war years at Windsor Castle.

QUEEN ELIZABETH II 1952 – 2022

Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, or ‘Lilibet’ to close family, was born in London on 21 April 1926. Like her parents, Elizabeth was heavily involved in the war effort during the Second World War, serving in the women’s branch of the British Army known as the Auxiliary Territorial Service, training as a driver and mechanic.

She married her cousin Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and they had four children: Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward. When her father George VI died, Elizabeth became Queen of seven Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka).

Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953 was the first to be televised, serving to increase popularity in the medium and doubling television license numbers in the UK. The huge popularity of the royal wedding in 2011 between the Queen’s grandson, Prince William, and the commoner Kate Middleton, now the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, reflected the high profile of the British Monarchy at home and abroad.

On 9th September 2015, Elizabeth became Britain’s longest-serving monarch, ruling longer than her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria who reigned for 63 years and 216 days.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral on 8th September 2022 at the age of 96. She was the longest reigning monarch in the history of the United Kingdom, celebrating her Platinum Jubilee in June 2022.

POINT TO PONDER

The MT DATA "SIPAT" (PEACE ACCORD) is the very first peace agreement signed in the history of the peace process in the country. The agreement was the laying down of arms and cessation of hostilities between the government forces and the Cordillera Peoples Liberation Army (CPLA). Then, President Aquino gave a rifle, a rosary and a Bible as peace tokens and the CPLA in return, presented Cordilleran traditional weapons of combat - shield, spear, head ax and a bolo.

We all know that this agreement paved the way for the government's recognition of the Cordilleran aspiration for the establishment of an autonomous region as provided for under Executive Order 220, however, after more than three decades and after its incorporation in no less than the 1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION, this dream remains ELUSIVE! With the divided judgement of the Cordilleran people in the past, and the government's less discourse towards Cordilleran autonomy, one day, will this great event be forgotten and be lost in the annals of history?

The Spanish began exploring the Cordillera in search of gold as early as the late 1500s by passing through the Ilocos region. They were then able to establish the district of El Abra de Vigan (current-day province of Abra) and assigned it within the province of Ilocos Sur. What followed were largely unsuccessful expeditions to Apayao, Benguet, and Mt. Province in the early to mid-1600s. In 1829, Lt. Col. Guillermo Galvey led fire raids on the indigenous peoples of Benguet, burning 180 of 500 Igorot houses.

The Spanish thereafter established the districts of Kiangan (1841), Lepanto (1852, covering Mainit to Banaue), and Benguet (1854). In 1859, they also established the districts of Magaogao (in current day Kalinga) and Bontoc (in current day Mt. Province). The 1859 Saltan district, covering areas from Pinukpuk to Tinglayan (in current day Kalinga), was renamed into the Itawes district in 1889 with the towns of Conner, Tabuk and Paracelis added to the district.

While the Spanish were able to enter portions of the Cordillera in the 19th century, they were unable to fully subjugate its peoples. Thus, maps of the Cordillera at this time were considerably less named in their maps than the rest of Luzon, as seen in the accompanying graphic. Additionally, the creation of districts did not necessarily mean pacification. For example, while they were able to establish a military center in Kiangan with the goal of taking control of the entire Ifugao, they were met with such intense and fierce opposition that they had to withdraw entirely by 1897. The Philippine Revolution was also in full swing, and if the Spanish were ever able to peacefully settle in the districts they had established in the Cordillera, it was not for very long.

Imagine if you could guarantee ultimate career success with as little as one hour of solid dedication a day. For many of the world’s top leaders, they do exactly that with their secret weapon – the five-hour rule.

National Flag DayđŸ‡”đŸ‡­

BE PROUD, WE ARE FILIPINOS

May 28, 2022 - Today is the National Flag Day!

The National Flag Day is officially commemorated through the Presidential Proclamation 374 signed in 1965 (and with Executive Order 79 issued in 1994 extending the celebration from May 28 to June 12), which signals that there is only fifteen days away from our 124th Independence Day on June 12, 2022.

Iwagayway natin ang ating Pambansang Watawat at ipagbunyagi ang ating pagiging Pilipino.

Mabuhay Pilipinas!
