Ancestry charts of the current British royal family (Saxon and Scottish descent)

All people are descended via various racial or ethnic lines of the antiquity, but in case of most, records do not exist. The British Royal Family is one of the few families, for whom ancestry can be traced to many notable lineages of the antiquity. They can be traced from Saxon, Scottish (Stuart dynasty), Welsh (Tudor dynasty), Irish, German (Hanover and Windsor), French (Norman and Plantagenet Angevin dynasties), Russian, Frank and perhaps even Byzantine lineages.
==Saxon and Scottish descent==
The earliest Saxon-cum-Scottish connections were through Matilda of Scotland, whose father was a Scottish king and mother, a Saxon princess. (However, the earliest Saxon connection was through her mother-in-law, Matilda of Flanders, who had descended from Ælfthryth of Wessex, daughter of the Saxon king Alfred the Great.) The general descent through this connection, of the current British royal family, is shown below. Various special descents of members shown in this chart are discussed later.

*::Note: Biologically, the senior line of descent from Edward III was through the Clarence-March line (shown below under Ancestry of Diana Spencer and Catherine Middleton). The general descent shown above uses the Lancaster-Somerset line because King Henry VII claimed the throne by right of conquest and got crowned before his marriage.
*The above chart is not exhaustive for Saxon descent. It can be shown in other ways too. For example, the Byzantine descent shown later through Irene Angelina is also valid for Saxon descent through her husband Philip of Swabia. His Saxon descent is as under:
