English Act of Succession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (278 words) |
 | The English Act of Succession was first passed on March 23, 1534, whereby Parliament decided the heir to the Crown of England from the children of King Henry VIII. |
| The Act made Princess Elizabeth, daughter of Anne Boleyn, the true successor to the Crown by declaring Princess Mary, daughter of Catherine of Aragon, a bastard. |
| This Act was overridden in 1536, when Elizabeth was declared illegitimate and was stripped of the title of princess following the conviction and execution of her mother. |
