A Brief History of the Creation of the United Kingdom

The Kingdom of Great Britain. Created in 1707 as a result of the political union of England and Scotland under the monarch, Queen Anne. There have been three officially recognised Houses since the union:

However for historical interest, I have also included:

The Kingdom of Scotland Queen Elizabeth II - The current monarch of the British Royal Family Treehad been in personal union under the House of Stuart since the 24th of  March 1603. James Stuart, who had succeeded separately to the thrones of Scotland as King James VI and then to England as King James I. He proclaimed himself as “King of Great Brittaine, France and Ireland” on the 20th of October 1604. Even so Scotland and England were still legally countries in their own right until 1707. On the 1st of May, the United Kingdom of Great Britain was formed with the merger of the Kingdoms of England and Scotland. Accordingly on the 1st of January 1801, Great Britain merged with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland”.

The United Kingdom. After most of Ireland left the union on the 6th December 1922, the title was amended on the 12th of April 1927 to “The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland” which is how it remains today.

Since it’s inception in 1707 there have been twelve Monarchs of Great Britain and the United Kingdom, and twenty three from the reign of Henry VII.
