The British House of Windsor is, as is not widely known, of German descent. During World War I, the original name "House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha," which the royal family in Britain had used since 1840, was abandoned. From 1714 to 1837, the Electorate of Hanover and the Kingdom of Great Britain were also connected through a king in personal union. The House of Hanover was likewise a German-descended royal dynasty that followed the House of Stuart as kings of Great Britain. The authors of this richly illustrated book embark on a quest to trace the German-descended queens and kings on the British throne. They highlight the close connection between the two nations and the resulting peculiarities. The book thus encompasses 300 years of vibrant noble and cultural history in both countries.
