'Saxe' is the French form of Saxony, which was used as the Almanach de Gotha was written in French and not German. She married Prince Albert of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. When the Duke of Kent, the last living son of George III died, his daughter, Alexandrina Victoria, acceded to the British throne, effectively the last monarch of the House of Hanover. When the last monarch of the House of Stuart, Queen Anne, died without issue, the throne passed over 52 other claimants as a result of the requirement to be Protestant, to George I of the House of Hanover. When Elizabeth I, the last monarch of the House of Tudor, died without issue, the throne passed to the House of Stuart and James VI of Scotland and I of England. All heirs to the Spanish throne were traditionally circumcised as a result of circumcision's ancient association with royalty. To this day, the Coptic Apostolic and Autocephalous Churches of the East and the See of Rome remain mutually unrecognized and the former regard Roman Catholicism as heterodox. Wherever are you getting your history? Pope Eugene IV issued a Bull in respect of circumcision but this was in respect of the putative mutual recognition of the Holy Orders of the See of Rome and the Christian Coptic Churches which had retained the rite.
