AHC: Queens for 120+ of 180 years prior to 1900

I had an amazing thought strike me recently - Britain has had queens for 124 of the last 175 years, almost 3/4 of the time. It's helped, of course, by two very long-reigning queens, but still, it's rarher remarkable considering the emphasis on male primogeniture even in a country without Salic Law.

This might be an easy challenge...I can see an easy way to do it now that I'm posting this, but it won't earn you any bonus points. I also made it a little easier, knocked a few years off the total and added a few years to the amount of time you have.

That challenge is, have a time in a country's history where this kind of stretch happens before 1900 and mention at least: 1. Some effects; and, 2. Who the alternate monarchs marry. (Obviouisly if you start it in 1720 butterflies will chase Victoria away but someone else can reign)

Bonus points: Don't include Queens Mary I/Elizabeth I. (In other words, sure you can have Mary or Elizabeth instead of Charles become monarch after the Restoration, but you'd still have to list some effects and a spouse for at least the first and someone might top you with bonus points.:D)

Double Bonus Points: Have it happen in a country other than England/Scotland/Britain. (Includes Tsarinas in Russia and Duchesses or Empresses eslewhere)
 
This one is too easy.
Since the English Parliment has rights to rule on the sucession of the English monarchs (from Henry VIII passing the Sussession Law, thru Parliment getting ride of James II in the Glorious Revolution and the Act of Settlement under Queen Anne) just have them declare that the oldest child inherits (as the British parliment has now done - the Duke of Cambridge's second off spring will be 4th in line to the throne no matter their and their older sibiling genders are).

Otherwise you could have Queen Anne have a surviving female child. this would propably suit your requirments.

You don't even need to include Parliament in this mess. Just allow the butterflies to guide the right sperms to the eggs and ensure that a couple of kings and crown princes die young in wars, diseases, accidents, what have you. Here's an example:

Mary II and William III have two children, both daughters. The eldest, Mary inherits the throne as Mary III. Mary III marries Prince Georg of Hanover (OTL George II). The marriage produces many children, among them James, Prince of Wales. James marries Louise of Denmark, and together they only have one daughter, Frederica, before James dies of small pox. When Mary III dies of the ripe old age of 77, her 13 year old granddaughter Frederica inherits the throne. Frederica continues to reign for 66 years after that, and then her eldest son, Henry, is crowned King Henry IX. Henry IX only have one son and five daughters. Unfortunately, his son, William, Prince of Wales, is killed in a duel he stupidly have gotten himself into when traveling around in Austria. As a result, Henry's daughter Caroline becomes queen when Henry dies after having ruled for less than 11 years of a heart attack (King Henry was a fat little king) Caroline rules for 44 years... and so on and so forth... ;)
