Queen Regnants
Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but is Elizabeth II the first Queen Regnant to inherit the throne directly from her father? I believe the others who were royal sovereigns in their own right all took the throne from either a brother (Mary I) or sister (Elizabeth I,) brother-in-law (Anne) or uncle (Victoria), with the possible exception of Queen Mary II of William and Mary fame. I am not exactly sure how the Glorious Revolution brought Mary II to the throne.
