What personal union ended in 1837?

  • Franco-Russian

  • Anglo-French

  • Britannic-Hanoverian

  • Austro-Hungarian

Answer

The Britannic-Hanoverian personal union, which existed between the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Electorate, and later Kingdom, of Hanover, was dissolved in 1837. This separation occurred due to the differing succession laws of the two realms. While Britain followed male-preference primogeniture, Hanover employed Salic law, allowing only males to inherit the throne.
