List of heirs to the English and British thrones
- List of heirs to the English and British thrones
This is a list of the individuals who were, at any given time, considered the next in line to inherit the thrones of England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom, should the incumbent monarch die. Those who actually succeeded (at any future time) are shown in bold. Stillborn children and infants surviving less than a month are not included.
It may be noted that the succession was highly uncertain, and was not governed by a fixed convention, for much of the century after the Norman Conquest of 1066.
Significant breaks in the succession, where the designated heir did not in fact succeed (due to usurpation, conquest, revolution, or lack of heirs) are shown as breaks in the table below.
1087 to 1100
1199 to 1399
1483 to 1485
1603 to 1689
