		The succession problems of the Tudor monarchs were largely caused by their lack of issue, for none of Henry VIII's children had children, poor health and were complicated by plots arising from the uncertainty of the succession, foreign affairs, and the wishes of the monarchs of the periods in relation to Henry VIII's will.

		As it was: the future queen regnant was born FIFTH in the British succession -- which, after the death of King George IV, was to twice pass collaterally.

	Persons eligible to succeed to the British Throne as of 1 Jan 2001
		The succession to the British Throne is regulated by the Bill of Rights and the Act of Settlement.
