'''Queen Victoria''' (May 24 1819 - January 22 1901) was a monarch of the [[United Kingdom]].  Victoria oversaw the [[British Empire]] at the height of its power and influence, largely due to the [[Industrial Revolution]]'s hold in England.  The period of her reign was known as "the Victorian period".  Victoria was the daughter of Edward who was the 4th son of [[King George III]], and at her birth she was 5th in line to the throne.  She would become Queen in 1837, following [[William IV]].  She married Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, who became the Prince Consort in 1840.
