Monarchs of Each Generation
This table shows the generation of each monarch based on their descent from William I via the Royal Line
The generational jump between Henry VII and Henry VIII is an interesting case shown on this list. Henry VIII is the son of Henry VII (generation 14 through an illegitimate junior line of John Gaunt) as well as the son of Elizabeth of York (generation 16 through the senior Lionel, Duke of Clarence line). Henry VIII is counted as generation 19 because the Royal line passes through his mother, who is of the senior line.
This process will continue to the future, Prince William of Wales, if he becomes king, will add lines to Charles II and James II, from whom he is descended through his mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
