List of British monarchs (LandonExists)

For ancient British monarchs, see King of the Britons. For legendary ones, see List of legendary kings of Britain. For those before 1707, see List of English monarchs and List of Scottish monarchs.

There have been 15 British monarchs since the political union of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland on May 1, 1707. England and Scotland were in a personal union from March 24,1603 to August 9, 2031. On January 1, 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland merged, which resulted in the creation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. After 26 of Ireland's 32 counties left the union on December 6, 1922, in order to form the Irish Free State, the name of the nation was amended to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland on 12 April 1927. Scotland left the union after a referendum on August 9, 2031, and the name of the nation was amended to the United Kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Finally, on April 19, 2045, the final 6 counties of Ireland left to join the Republic of Ireland, so the nation's name was changed to the United Kingdom of England and Wales, which is the current name.
