Royal family tree
I created a simplified version the royal family tree which only shows the blood ties between monarchs and three critical intra-marriages.
With a line:
The least related successive monarchs according to consanguinity were:
- Richard III to Henry VII — third cousin once removed: 0.195% + trace contribution from Ann Mortimer.
- Henry VI to Edward IV — third cousins: 0.78%
- Queen Anne to King George I — second cousins: 3.125%;
- Queen Elizabeth to King James I: double first cousins twice removed: 6.25%
- Stephen I of Blois to Henry II — first cousin once removed: 6.25%
- Edward VI to Lady Jane Grey — first cousin once removed: 6.25%
- Richard II to Henry IV — first cousin: 12.5%
- William IV to Victoria — niece: 25%
- Edward III to Richard II — nephew: 25%
- Edward V to Richard III — uncle: 25%
- All others were children and siblings: 50%
