Victoria first learned of her future role as a young princess during a history lesson when she was 10 years old. She and her husband, Prince Consort Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, had nine children, through whose marriages were descended many of the royal families of Europe. During her reign the British monarchy took on its modern ceremonial character. She was the last of the house of Hanover and gave her name to an era, the Victorian Age. Victoria, in full Alexandrina Victoria, (born May 24, 1819, Kensington Palace, London, England-died January 22, 1901, Osborne, near Cowes, Isle of Wight), queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1837–1901) and empress of India (1876–1901).
