cated in France, which made her fo fond of Popery and Arbitrary Power, that the Nobility took Arms againft and dethron'd her; he was afterwards put to Death in England in 1586. for being in a Plot againft Queen Elizabeth, whofe Legitimacy, being question'd, by the Popish Fa&tion, the Queen of Scots was by them reckon❜d the true Heirefs of the Crown.

To8. James VI. her Son fucceeded upon her Dethronement in 1567. He marry'd Anne, Daughter to Frederick II. King of Denmark, by Sophia of Mecklemburg, who brought him the Lady Elizabeth, an incomparable Princefs, marry'd to the Elector Palatine, afterwards King of Bohemia as already mention'd, by whom he had the Princess Sophia, Mother to his prefent Majefty King GEORGE.

To Sum up the Matter it appears by the Hiftorys and Genealogies above mention'd, that his Majefty's Family is defcended from and inter-marry'd with moft, if not all of the Sovereign Princes of Europe: That his Majefty is the 20th Sovereign of the Family of Brunswick by Lineal Defcent according to undoubted Hiftory, fince Azo or Albert of Este, who dy'd in 1081, befides what Hiftorians fay of a long Race of Princes in the Family before that time. It is alfo to be obferv'd, that there have been two Emperors of Germary, and an Emprefs of Conftantinople of this Family, befides one Emprefs Dowager, and an Emprefs Confort of Germany now living. That the Electors of Bavaria and of the Palatinate, and the Dukes of Modena are defcended from this Family by the Male Line, and that by Daughters, the Kings of Sweden, Denmark, Pruffia and Poland, the Families of Heffe, Baden, Mecklenburg, and fe. veral Princes of the Houle of Saxony are also descended of this Family.

There has been alfo one Cardinal, 18 Archbishops and Bifhops, all Princes of the Empire of the Houfe of Brunfwick.

But what adds the greateft Luftre to all, is, that his Majefty is the 50th Sovereign of England, and has the Blood of all thofe Princes in his Veins fince the Heptarchy was united in the Perfon of gbert, till the Reign of Charles I. and that he is the 114th King of Scotland, as appears by the Hiftory and Genealogy of thofe Kings, by whom he has alfo the Blood Royal of France, of the House of Burgundy, and of the ancient Kings of the British, Pictish,

Danife,

Danish, Saxon and Norman Race, with whom they marry'd, center'd in him; fo that he exceeds all the Sovereigns on Earth for the Antiquity of Royal Defcent, and what adds to our Bleffing, as well as to his Majefty's Honour and Satisfaction, he has already a numerous Royal Iffue, which gives him a fairer profpect of having the Succeffion continue in his Family, than any other Prince in Europe can pretend to.
