Family connection

How were Anne of Great Britain and George I of Great Britain related?

Second cousins — through James VI and I.

Why it matters

The Act of Settlement of 1701 reached back to James VI and I's daughter Elizabeth Stuart to find a Protestant line. Her daughter Sophia was named heir; Sophia's son George inherited when Anne died in 1714, ahead of more than fifty closer Catholic relatives.
