Beethoven used the melody in at least 2 of his compositions. Note that this same melody is also used for the US Patriotic Song "America" or "My Country 'Tis of Thee", which is a former US National Anthem. The melody in its current form was first published in 1744, but versions of the song date back to at least the early 1600s. "God Save the Queen" (or King as appropriate) is the National Anthem of the UK, and also the National or Royal Anthem of several other UK territories and former Commonwealth countries.
