The Act named Anne's first cousin once removed, Sophia of Hanover, a granddaughter of James VI and I, and her descendants, as Anne's successor. Sophia died a few months before Anne, and Sophia's son, George I, consequently acceded to the British throne on Anne's death in 1714. [7]
At the time of Anne's death in August 1714, 66 descendants of the Stuart dynasty were alive, but the first 54, being Roman Catholic, were excluded by the Act of Settlement. The succession thus fell to Elector George Louis of Hanover , the eldest son of Electress Sophia (who had died a few months before), to the British throne.
