- The Kingdom of England, from 871 (including Wales from the Act of Union 1536-1543) up to 1707;
- The Kingdom of Scotland, from 843 up to 1707;
- The Lordship of Ireland, from 1199 up to 1541;
- The Kingdom of Ireland, from 1541 up to 1801;
- The Kingdom of Great Britain, from the Acts of Union, 1707, between England and Scotland, up to 1801;
- The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, from the Act of Union, 1801, between Great Britain and Ireland, up to 1927;
- The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (The UK after the Irish Free State was formed and became a separate state).
In 1328, on the death of the French king, Charles IV, Edward III (nephew of Charles IV) claimed the French throne. English monarchs, and subsequently British monarchs, then styled themselves King of France or Queen of France until the Act of Union 1800, which led to the creation of the United Kingdom in 1801. By then France had been a republic for ten years. (See English Kings of France.) Since 1559 English monarchs, and subsequently British monarchs, have also had the title Supreme Governor of the Church of England. Note that the numbering of English monarchs starts afresh after 1066 (although this affects only the Edwards).
