the House of Hanover
/ðə ˌhaʊs əv ˈhænəʊvə(r)/
/ðə ˌhaʊs əv ˈhænəʊvər/
- the British royal family between 1714, when George Louis, the leader of the German state of Hanover, became the king of Britain, and 1901, when Queen Victoria died. George became the king because there was no heir to Queen Anne, and the leaders of Hanover were related to King James I through his granddaughter Sophia.
compare Saxe-Coburg-Gotha汉诺威宫:1714年,德国汉诺威州首领乔治·路易斯成为英国国王,到1901年维多利亚女王去世,这是英国王室。乔治成为国王,是因为安妮女王没有继承人,汉诺威的领导人通过其孙女索菲亚与詹姆斯一世国王有亲戚关系。
