THE LAST WITCH HUNT: PAISLEY 1697

The right to inherit the crown of the new kingdom was settled on Queen Anne's closest Protestant relatives, the German rulers of the Electorate of Hanover, a north German principality that would be held by British monarchs until 1837.

Anne died in 1714 and was succeeded by the German prince George, the elector of Hanover, first of the Hanoverian dynasty. (Elector referred to the right of Hanover to participate in the election of Holy Roman Emperors.) George I (1660-1727; r. 1714-27) was an unprepossessing man with no knowledge of English or familiarity with English institutions, but he was a respected statesman in much of central Europe and the Baltic.
