vICTORIA'S ANCESTRY.
LINEALLY DESCENDED FROM
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR.
Has in Her Veins the Blood of the
Tudors, P1antagenets, Yorks,
Lancasters, Stewards.

SO much has been written and said,
even in the English press, about the
German origin of Queen Victoria, that
a very widespread impression has been
created to-the effect that she has no
English blood in her veins, nor any
right to describe the Tudor, the Plan
tagenet, the Norman and the Stuart
Kings of England as her ancestors.
Under the circumstances it may be of
interest just at the moment to call at
tention to the fact that notwithstand-
ing the popular belief to the contrary,
she is linealIy descended from King
William the Conqueror, not always
through the direct male line, it is true,
but sometimes through the female line.
Thus, the male line of William the
Conqueror became extinct in the sec
ond generation, and his son Henry 1.
was succeeded first by Stephen. son
of the Conqueror's daughter, Adela,
married to the French Count of Blois,
and on his death the Crown descended
to Henry II. son of Mathilda, who was
the only daughter Of King Henry L.
Mathilda had married as her first hus-
band Emperor Henry V. of Germany

frey Plantagenet, Count Of Anjou, who

Plantagenet strain of blood into the
reigning house of England. From that

rect line from father to son, from
father to grandson, or from older
brother to younger brother, but always
in the direct male line, until the depo-
sition and death of King Richard II.

tOria. Owing to the existence in Han
over Of the Salic law, which forbids the
succession of women to the throne,
Victoria was unable to succeed to the
German possessions of her uncles and
grandfather, which accordingly fell to
her fathers youngest brother, the Duke
of Cumberland. Hanover, it is scarce
ly necessary to remind the readers of
the Tribune" was conquered and alb
sOrbed by Prussia in 1866
From this it will be seen that Queen
Victoria, if not through the male, at
any rate through the female line, is a
lineal descendant of William the Con-
queror, and that she has in her veins
strains of the blood of the Tudors, the
Plantagenets, the Yorks, the Lancas-
