King George the First of England was the son of Sophia who was the daughter of Queen Elizabeth of  Bohemia, and she was the daughter of King James the VI of Scotland and James the First of England and Queen Anne of Denmark and sister of King Charles the First of England.

Well after Queen Anne of England died and she was the daughter of King James the II of England and Anne Hyde. They had to revert back to Queen Elizabeth of Bohemia. 

Sophia had died and so her son, Prince George of Hanover was the next one to receive the crown of England.

George didn't want to leave his beloved Germany, but he arrived in England and was crowned King George the First of England. He married his first cousin, Princess  Sophia Dorothea  of Celle. and she didn't love him and he didn't love her, however, the two brothers thought it was a good match.

Queen Sophia Dorothea gave birth to his two children, George and Sophia Dorothea, but they didn't love their father and how he treated their mother. The result was that King George the First locked Sophia Dorothea up in the a prison in England  as he thought she was cheating. She died there and he died shortly thereafter. He never read her last letter.

George the First did not want his son to succeed him, however, he was crowned King George the II and he married a German Princess by the name of Caroline of Ansbach and it was a happy marriage. She gave him eight children, Prince Fredrick of Wales and some children. 

BTW: It was this King that vaccinated first by Edward Jenner that found that Cow Poxes and Chicken Poxes were related and if you got Cow Poxes that you could not get Chicken Poxes.

Prince Fredrick and his wife, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg, never became Queen of England because her husband died before he could succeed and their oldest son, George became King of George III.
