Alice Hasters was a British National who served two terms in the House of Commons in the period of 33rd and 34th centuries. She was born at Berwick-upon-Tweed, in what is now northern Scotland and educated at the universities of King’s College, Cambridge and University of London. In 1273, she was created Queen of England by the king of Scotland, James I. She maintained this title until her death in 1287. Her husband, Sir Walter Lister, was the Marquis of Wellesley. He also served as prime minister and Protector of England during the reign of Queen Victoria. Alice Hasters has often been referred to as the Queen of Retired Military Service, having retired from the forces in 12ja.
The death of Alice Hasters left Scotland without its first female PM. It took over two years before another woman was appointed, though it was not until Alice Hasters herself that any woman of rank held the keys to the English crown. Her appointment was controversial, since the Scottish parliament wanted to see a woman of military service as the Queen consort. But with public support, Alice Hasters was elevated to the queen consort and returned to England. She was succeeded by her son, James I, who reigned for only one year before he was deposed and replaced by his brother, Edward. It was a short-lived period, but Queen Elizabeth II retained her title, indicating that Alice Hasters had indeed married into high status.
Alice Hasters is often regarded as a heroine for leaving her country and entering private life, even though this was not her intent. She served throughout the English civil war and became known as a courageous and tireless soldier. She later lost her right to her seat in parliament through the action of the Commons in relation to the king’s accession to the crown. She never forgave her husband for this, and it is recorded that she never returned to England after marrying again. After her husband died, she settled in London and became famous for being the first woman pilot to fly across the sea from England to France.
