"British monarchs" redirects here. 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, List of Scottish monarchs, and List of Irish monarchs.
There have been 13 British monarchs since the political union of the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland on 1 May 1707. England and Scotland had been in personal union since 24 March 1603. On 1 January 1801, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of Ireland merged, creating first the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and later the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland upon the secession of southern Ireland in the 1920s.
