Hanover — Not random

Triggered by

Action A of 3038 - The Hanoverian Succession for England

Description

The 1701 Act of Establishment had been voted to regulate the succession to the throne, ensuring no Catholic dynasty would ever rule England. When the personal union with Holland had ended in 1702 (death of William of Orange), his daughter Queen Ann (1702-1714) reigned but failed to provide a legitimate heir. The English crown went to George I of Hanover (1714-1727), her most direct parent. He and his son George II (1727-1760) were German born and would always follow closely the fate of their Electorate, making it in fact if not in law a vassal of England.

Hanover — Not random

Triggered by

Action B of 3038 - The Hanoverian Succession for England

Description

Though the 1701 Act of Succession in England forbade Catholics from taking the throne, it seems that the exiled Prince of Wales, James Stuart, has decided that 'Londres ne vaut bien une messe' and is now offering to convert to the Anglican faith in exchange for being restored to the line of succession. By doing so he has completely scuppered our dynasty's chances of succeeding Queen Anne. Though England will likely avoid a return to Catholicism, it seems the continuation of the Stuart dynasty is assured - at least for now.
