Victoria, who was almost entirely of German descent (except from her ancestor Sophia of Hanover, who was a female-line granddaughter of James I), was the last monarch of the House of Hanover; her son King Edward VII belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
Victoria's personal life was marked by many personal tragedies, including the death of her son, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the fatal illness of her daughter, The Empress Friedrich, Queen Dowager of Prussia, and the death of two of her grandsons, Prince Alfred of Edinburgh and Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Prince Christian Victor of Schleswig-Holstein.
As of 2004, the European monarchs and former monarchs descended from Victoria are: the Queen of the United Kingdom, the King of Norway, the King of Sweden, the Queen of Denmark, the King of Spain, the King of the Hellenes (deposed) and the King of Romania (deposed).

Victoria, the princess royal (the "Vicky" of the Letters), was born in 1840; in 1858 she married the crown prince of Prussia and later became the mother of the emperor William II.
Victoria, moreover, gave her full support to the government's policy of repression of the Chartists (advocates of far-reaching political and social reform) and believed the workers in her realm to be contented and loyal.
Even after Victoria insisted to Palmerston in 1850, "having once given her sanction to a measure, that it be not arbitrarily altered or modified by the minister," the foreign secretary continued to follow policies disapproved of by both Albert and Victoria, such as his encouragement of nationalist movements that threatened to dismember the Austrian Empire.

Victoria's father, the Duke of Kent, died on 23 January 1820 when she was only nine months old, so she never knew him, which was probably all to the good as he was a sadistic man with a vicious temper and no scruples.
Victoria's reign was immense, much of it due to improved educational standards (especially after the Education Act of 1870), public health (with a series of acts in 1848, 1872 and 1875), and technology.

A feud erupted when the duchess kept Princess Victoria from attending her uncle William's coronation, allegedly over the fact that Victoria was improperly assigned a place in the coronation procession behind the dukes rather than directly behind the king, where his heir belonged.
Victoria's teenage years were also spent receiving visits from eligible male cousins and other young men who her mother and uncle, the King, saw as potential consorts for the future queen.
Victoria came to look upon Leopold as a father figure, and one of her happiest memories from her sixteenth year was his visit to England with his wife, Queen Louise.

Medically, there are only two possibilities: either one of Victoria's parents had a 1 in 50,000 random mutation, or Victoria was the illegitimate child of a hemophiliac man. However the hemophilia gene arose, it had a profound effect on history.
very little of the book is actually about the appearance of hemophilia in victoria's line; some of it is an abbreviated story of her family, some of it is a primer on genetics, some of it is a description of family members who inherited it.
And since her father, Edward, Duke of Kent, did *not* have the disease, that would mean Victoria was illegitimate, the offspring of a hemophiliac lover of the Duchess of Kent.

Anaesthetics were pioneered in the mid-19th century: the use of ether was used for amputations by the Scottish surgeon Robert Liston, and chloroform was introduced in 1847 by Scottish obstetrician James Simpson.
Eminent surgeons such as John Snow and James Syme championed the adoption of anaesthetics, and Snow became the first specialist anaesthetist, administering chloroform to Queen Victoria during the birth of Prince Leopold in 1853.
In the second half of the 19th century Joseph Lister's discovery of antiseptics, championed by such surgeons as William Cheyne, became the basis for successful surgical practice.

Prince Leopold, Duke of Albany (1853-84), is acknowledged to have been the most intelligent and probably the most interesting of Queen Victoria's four sons.
