1:00 “No one wanted to see her suffer more tragedies.” Although this sentiment of people wanting the best for Anne is true, the implication that people (including Anne herself) did not want her to become pregnant again and have a living heir of her own body is not true. I’m currently reading “Queen Anne: The Politics of Passion” by Anne Somerset, and Somerset presents a host of evidence that at the beginning of Anne’s reign many courtiers would say directly to Anne that they hoped she would become pregnant again and have children who would live and succeed her. Anne herself told her close confidant Sarah Churchill in June 1703 she yearned for “the inexpressible blessing of another child, for though I do not flatter myself with the thoughts of it, I would leave no reasonable thing undone that might be a means towards it.” As well, a contributing reason (out of several) as to why Anne never invited any member of the Hanover family over so they could learn how to run the kingdom as an heir would, is that Anne desperately wanted and hoped she would conceive again and have a surviving child who would succeed her. (Sarah Churchill expressed a very blunt but realistic response (in true Sarah Churchill fashion) to this by saying that Anne’s view “proceeded more from her pride…than that she could really expect children, though she was not forty, because she had had before seventeen dead ones.”) All of this is to get to the main point that Anne saw the Act of Settlement as a necessary insurance policy, given that as of July 1700 she had no living heirs of her body and the Jacobite threat was far too large to not explicitly write into law a plan that insured a Protestant succession, regardless of her future reproductive hopes (which unfortunately would remain just that, hopes, as Anne would never conceive again after Gloucester’s death). I highly recommend “Queen Anne: The Politics of Passion” btw! Although it can be very dry at parts, Somerset has meticulously researched so much of Anne’s life and reign, and it is incredibly informative.

One VERY important thing to remember is that Sophia and her children were the LAST Protestant descendants of James VI and I available. If Sophia had never been born, or died earlier, or she and her children had become Catholic, there would have been an even bigger mess - the potential dissolution of the Union of the Crowns, as there would have been no eligible Protestant descendants from the marriage James IV of Scotland and Margaret Tudor which ultimately created that Union. The potential heir to the Scottish throne in that case would have been the 4th Duke of Hamilton (his mother, the 3rd Duchess, had resigned all offices and claims to him in 1698), while the potential heir to the English throne would have been a bit trickier, but likely would have been the descendants of Katherine Grey in the person of the 3rd Earl of Ailesbury. The Scots, realizing this, had already made noises about dissolving the Union upon Anne's eventual death, but the financial difficulties of the kingdom (mostly due the disastrous Darien Scheme) basically forced them to vote of the actual Act of Union in 1707. The Duke of Hamilton, who could have done more to oppose the Union (and thus potentially gain the Scottish crown), was a poor campaigner against it, and thus the Act of Union passed in Scotland and came into affect.

The Act of Settlement of 1701 only applied to the thrones of England and Ireland. In response the Scottish Parliament in the Act for the Security of the Kingdom reserved the right to make arrangements for the succession to the throne of Scotland. It was the Act of Union in 1707 that made the Act of Settlement govern the succession of the British crown. It's a technicality, but England and Scotland were separate realms ruled by a common sovereign from 1603 until 1707.

Yes. I hadn't realised that he could have taken the throne if he had become formally Protestant. As his sisters Mary and Anne grew up as Protestant and so qualified, it is the more surprising that James was so insistent on not converting. If he had done and accepted the constitutional status of the Act of Settlement and the Act of Union which extended it to Scotland, we would probably have the House of Stuart as the reigning House of 'the United Kingdom and other Realms' in 2024.

What an excellent video! I have been trying to find a good book covering in detail the background to the Act of Settlement, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be one; can anyone help in that respect? This video certainly covers some of the gaps very well, although other sources suggest that Sophia was even further down the line of succession than is suggested here. The mini-biographies of the people ahead of her in the line are fascinating. I wonder if all those in the line were aware that the British King and Parliament were casting an eye over them? If so, at one level it is a testament to their Catholic faith that none of them took the opportunistic/pragmatic approach of switching to Protestantism for the purpose of securing the British crown; all of us know people who have switched religions for practical reasons such as marriage. And yet that same apparent strength of faith didn't stop the rampant sexual immorality that characterised so many of those in the line; there's a good deal of irony in all of this.
