This site does not consider the Cromwell's as monarchs. They were never given this title. Though they played roles very similar, they were not monarchs - this has a very specific meaning in british history, and requires specific rituals, coronation rites, titles, estates, etc. For this reason, I have removed them from the list of monarchs; for again, they were NOT monarchs, and I suggest they be removed from all the lists -- just as they are on the Official Site. It is appropriate, however, to simply mention the Interregnum, putting the Cromwells briefly in the mention. Again, though they ruled England, they were NOT monarchs, not Kings, not Princes, and thus are not to be listed as such.

All my research and fellow academics with whom I consulted agreed that the term 'united kingdom' in the 1707 Act was not intended as a name but as a description. The name was clearly and umabiguously the 'Kingdom of Great Britain', which was <i>a</i> united kingdom, not <i>the</i> United Kingdom. The United Kingdom only came in with the Irish Act of Union of 1801, which brought Ireland and GB together to form the UK. After checking with various sources and academics on the issue, I changed the titles so that monarchs from 1707-1800 are described as GB, and ones (including George III, who occured in both periods) from 1801 are described as UK. I adapted the links accordingly. It is more accurate and also clearly marks the divisions between the various states and monarchical titles that weren't clear before, when the description uk was treated as United Kingdom state, when it wasn't. </p><p>PS - otherwise, a superb set of pages and entries. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JTD</a> 06:03 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC) </p> <hr/> <p>Derek, I've double-check with 8 historians, including 2 professors of history, and reference books that deal specificially with title, as well as with sources in the Royal Household. The words 'united kingdom' in the 1707 Act were intended are are regarded as descriptive, not as authorising the use of that name for the kingdom formed by that Act. For yet more evidence. see page 1198 (index) of Norman Davies, <i>The Isles</i> (Macmillan 1999). While the author there admits a number of errors in title cropped up where others did the cross-referencing in the index, his explicit references to the titles of Anne and the four Georges is clear. If Wikipedia can't get its basic references to royal titles correct, it will damage its own reputation as a source book. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JTD</a> 19:33 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Fine JTD. I'll check the reference out but it was published in 1999 not in 1707 or thereabouts, so it's not what I'd call a source. It's an author's interpretation of the sources (otherwise known as a history book). I'd expect it to contain reasoned argument and reference to source documents, so of course it may well contain the convincing argument that I'm looking for. Thanks -- <a href="/wiki/User:Derek_Ross" title="User:Derek Ross">Derek Ross</a> 19:44 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)</dd> <dd>PS. I wouldn't say that Wikipedia is a source (unless you need a source for the History of Wikipedia), just a reference 'book'.</dd></dl> <p>Derek, believe me I'm hooked on sources, not history books (though I am in the process of writing one, relying on sources, which will contradict many Irish history books). His book references are just an example. What I meant in describing Wiki as a source is in the non-professional historian's understanding of a sourcebook, simply as a place to get a basic understanding and basic facts. But we also have to use most common used accurate terms, and GB is the most common used name for the kingdom between 1707 and 1801, when the UK became the unambiguous name of the state. 'England', though the most widely used term, is as I'm sure you'll agree, completely inaccurate and therefore absolutely wrong. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JTD</a> 20:39 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Charles_II" data-mw-thread-id="h-Charles_II-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Charles_II-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z"></span>Charles II<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Charles_II-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Charles II"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Alci12-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z-Charles_II"></span>I've changed the date of Charles II becoming king of England, based on the date of his coronation. However I'm aware that it could also be based on the date of his being proclaimed king (and possibly was). Coronation seems better to me, as a crowned king is indisputably king, but I think it should be discussed. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Derek_Ross" title="User:Derek Ross">Derek Ross</a> </p><p>A monarch becomes monarch the <i>moment</i> his/her predecessor dies or abdicates. A coronation is a popular affirmation of a status already attained. It also amounts to a sacred anointing. Edward VIII for example was not crowned, yet he became king the moment his father George V died. Popes too were crowned up until John Paul I. Neither he nor John Paul II were crowned with the <a href="/wiki/Papal_Tiara" class="mw-redirect" title="Papal Tiara">Papal Tiara</a> yet were pope. It is different to, say, the inauguration of the President of the United States or the President of Ireland, where the inauguration ceremony <i>is</i> the entry point. In theory, King Charles III could dispense with the coronation when he becomes king; Britain is the only major monarchy in the world still to have a coronation. William IV <i>did</i> want to abandon the ceremony altogether, but didn't get his way. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JtdIrL</a> 09:34 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>Yes, you're right, JTD. If monarchs weren't monarchs until they were crowned, we would have many periods of a year or more in British history when there was no monarch! <a href="/wiki/User:Deb" title="User:Deb">Deb</a> 15:22 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)</dd></dl> <dl><dd>That's just the point, Deb. There <i>are</i> periods of a year or more in British history when there was no monarch, according to our list. The two most notable periods being after the death of Margaret in 1290 and of Charles in 1649, there are gaps. Going by what JTD says above Charles II became king of both nations in 1649, not in 1651 or in 1660 as we currently say, but the situation seems rather more complicated after Margaret's death, since there were several rival claimants. What do we do there ? -- <a href="/wiki/User:Derek_Ross" title="User:Derek Ross">Derek Ross</a> 21:47 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)</dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd>Yes, yes, there are those gaps, but they are unique. What I meant was that, if you only accepted that a monarch was officially a monarch after they had been crowned (which seemed to be what you were saying), then there would be a gap almost every time the crown changes hands. Charles II was formally restored to the throne on May 29, 1660, and that's normally accepted as the beginning of his reign. I don't go for the 1649 date, although you could argue that he was king of Scotland because they accepted him and crowned him long before England did. I don't think JTD is 100% correct, because the succession has to have the authority of parliament in order to be valid. <a href="/wiki/User:Deb" title="User:Deb">Deb</a> 21:58 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC)</dd></dl></dd></dl> <p><br/> The reason for the gaps is that there <i>were</i> several claimants and nobody was sure <i>who</i> to regard as the monarch. Technically, there shouldn't be, as whomever turned out to be the vaid monarch became so the moment the previous monarch died or abdicated. The gaps simply are historians' way of stressing that <i>no-one</i> for a particular period of time was sure who was the real monarch. But as to the issue of is succession <i>automatic</i>, the answer is 100% yes. A monarch succeeds immediately. They are confirmed by an Accession Council (special meeting of the Privy Council) at which such issues as their nomenclature is announced. A year later, they go through the symbolic ritual of coronation, which amounts to their annointment by God (or one of his clergymen, on his behalf). But Charles will become king the moment Elizabeth II dies. Elizabeth became queen hours before she or anyone else knew it, the moment George VI died. That's where the phrase 'the King is dead. Long Live the King' comes from. That is why, also there was such a bruhaha over the flying of the Royal Standard over Buckingham Palace at full mast (or as the Yanks would say, staff) after Diana's death. The standard is never flown at half mast because there always is a monarch. So it flew on the last day of George VI's life honouring him, the next day at full mast honouring Queen Elizabeth II (just not where he died, as there was no longer a monarch there. Instead it was (or if they had one with them, <i>would</i> have been flown, over the treetops hotel that Elizabeth was in on the morning she discovered her father had died.) Technically Charles II became King Charles II the moment King Charles I was executed. But he didn't have a kingdom he could legally rule over until 1660 with the restoration. So 1660 doesn't mark the <i>start</i> of his reign, merely his <i>restoration</i> to the throne, having been monarch in exile for 11 years. </p><p>Actually, Deb, the sucession <i>is</i> automatic, though parliament as it did in the Glorious Revolution can retrospectively change it, when it offered the throne to William and Mary and not James VII/II's young son. But it doesn't <i>go</i> before parliament or require parliamentary approval. Parliament <i>can</i> intervene but except in extraordinary circumstances doesn't. The standard routine is that parliament is simply 'informed' that a new accession has taken place. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JtdIrL</a> 22:07 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>I think what you say is true now, but may not have been true before the Act of Succession existed.

Parliament's power ebbed and flowed over the years. Sometimes monarchs sidelined and ignored it and it dared not intervene. Other times, weakened monarchs and confusion over sucession increased parliament's role vis-a-vis the monarchy. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JtdIrL</a> 22:33 Mar 2, 2003 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>It's not a question that can have a simple yes or no answer, at least not at the period we're talking about. Before the Act of Succession, the monarch had the power to name an heir, but whether that heir came to the throne tended to depend on whether he or she got in ahead of the other claimants. In Charles's case, I'm not sure he would have been so rash as to date his reign from 1649 when his restoration depended on the will of Parliament which had invited him back. <a href="/wiki/User:Deb" title="User:Deb">Deb</a> 17:45 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC)</dd></dl> <p>The concept of a 'parliamentary monarchy' as such did not exist then. The belief in the divine right of kings saw the 'making' of a king as an 'act of God', not an act of parliament. That's why for example, while people focus on the 'crowning' part of the coronation ceremony, the real significant bit is the 'annointing' which indicates a monarch's role as the equivalent of Holy Orders; that's one reason why there is no question of Elizabeth II abdicating, contrary to misinformed media speculation. She sees herself as a god-created monarch, annointed as such, it being God's decision, not hers, as to when she vacates the throne. Parliament was involved on occasion, but the monarch was still monarch 'by the grace of God', not 'on the authority of parliament'. The reason why Britain's monarchy has survived, whereas others haven't, is that Britain's monarchs and constitutional structures were sufficiently flexible to cope with situations, whereas other constitutions and royal families were excessively rigid. The general theory is that Charles <i>de jure</i> became king in 1649, but became <i>de facto</i> monarch in 1660. Or to put it another way, he inherited a throneless crown in 1649, and the throne in 1660 after it had been reestablished. But Charles was called king by his supporters from 1649, in the same way as french royalists regarded Louis XVI's dauphin as Louix XVII following his father's death. (Or indeed as French royalists regarded the duc de Bordeaux (later <a href="/wiki/Comte_de_Chambord" class="mw-redirect" title="Comte de Chambord">Comte de Chambord</a>) as 'Henry V' from 1840 until his death in the 1880s, even though he never sat on the French throne, indeed was stupid enough to turn it down in the early 1870s because he would not accept the tricolour - but then he <i>was</i> so stupid he reportedly couldn't tie his own laces!!!) But in no sense constitutionally was the English/British crown inherited 'subject to parliamentary approval'. But on occasion, in an outbreak of <i>realpolitik</i> parliament could intervene. But constitutionally, the concept of parliamentary monarchy really only emerged when parliament offered the throne to William and Mary, and then on the basis that James VII/II had <i>supposedly</i> abdicate, they changing the Order of Succession to perpetuate a protestant monarchy by excluding the Catholic first in line, the Duke of Cornwall, James' baby son and passing the throne on jointly to the second-in-line and her husband. <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JtdIrL</a> 19:06 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC) <a href="/wiki/User:Jtdirl" title="User:Jtdirl">JtdIrL</a> 19:08 Mar 3, 2003 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd><dl><dd>The 1660 proclamation of Parliament is pretty clear (as are various other Acts/Documents at the time) "Although it can no way be doubted but that his Majesty's right and title to his crowns and kingdoms is and was every way completed by the death of his royal father of glorious memory"<a href="/wiki/User:Alci12" title="User:Alci12">Alci12</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-Alci12-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z-Charles_II" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:26, 21 September 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Alci12-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z-Charles_II"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Alci12-2005-09-21T13:26:00.000Z-Charles_II"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="List_of_monarchs_of_England=" data-mw-thread-id="h-List_of_monarchs_of_England="><span id="List_of_monarchs_of_England.3D"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-List_of_monarchs_of_England="></span><a href="/wiki/List_of_monarchs_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="List of monarchs of England">List of monarchs of England</a>=<span data-mw-comment-end="h-List_of_monarchs_of_England="></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: List of monarchs of England="><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>... still exists and mainly overlaps this page.

Henry VII's claim to the throne was not based upon his marriage to Elizabeth of York (he was already king for several months before he married her), and so the claims of his descendants aren't affected by this silly argument. Plus, as I understand it, the argument is based on the fact that the Duke of York was not where his wife was <i>exactly 9 months</i> before Edward IV's birth. He was in the same town as her both a few weeks before this and a few weeks after. Given that babies are rarely born <i>exactly 9 months</i> after conception, this is pretty stupid. Furthermore, paternity in this case is not a biological, but a legal question, and Edward IV was legally the son of Richard, Duke of York, whoever his biological father may have been. In any event, the purpose of this page is to list <i>de facto</i> monarchs, not tenuous alternative claims. Otherwise it should list the heirs of Ethelred the Unready (currently Princess Alicia of Bourbon-Parma), the heirs of Mary Tudor, Henry VIII's younger sister, who ought have inherited in 1603 (I believe Lady Kinloss is the current claimant on this, but am uncertain), the Jacobite line (currently represented by Duke Franz of Bavaria), and so on and so forth. <a href="/wiki/User:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User:John Kenney">john</a> 19:05, 9 Jan 2004 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Edgar_Ætheling" data-mw-thread-id="h-Edgar_Ætheling"><span id="Edgar_.C3.86theling"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Edgar_Ætheling"></span>Edgar Ætheling<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Edgar_Ætheling"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Edgar Ætheling"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Should Edgar Ætheling be included in the list?

A king is deposed (explicitly) by someone else. For instance, a revolutionary government can proclaim the deposition of a king, or whatever. If the king gives up his office of his own will, he is abdicating, even if the abdication is forced. <a href="/wiki/User:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User:John Kenney">john</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:John Kenney">k</a> 14:37, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC) </p> <dl><dd>No, I still say he was deposed. You can't really be forced to give up your office of your own will, can you? That's an oxymoron. If an abdication is forced it can't be legally binding, so Edward was deposed both <i>de facto</i> and <i>de jure</i>. Also, the standard works I've consulted (<i>Handbook of British Chronology</i>, Oxford History of England's <i>The Fourteenth Century</i>) all refer to the event as a deposition. <a href="/wiki/User:Eixo" title="User:Eixo">Eixo</a> 18:15, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)</dd></dl> <table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" align="right" style="margin-left:1em"> <caption><span style="font-size:large;"><b>Edward II</b> </span></caption> <tbody><tr valign="top"><td style="background:#efefef;" colspan="2" align="center"><span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/NonFreeImageRemoved.svg/200px-NonFreeImageRemoved.svg.png" decoding="async" width="200" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/NonFreeImageRemoved.svg/300px-NonFreeImageRemoved.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/NonFreeImageRemoved.svg/400px-NonFreeImageRemoved.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="200" data-file-height="220"/></a></span> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Reign</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/July_7" title="July 7">July 7</a>, <a href="/wiki/1307" title="1307">1307</a> - <a href="/wiki/January_20" title="January 20">January 20</a>, <a href="/wiki/1327" title="1327">1327</a> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Coronation</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/February_25" title="February 25">February 25</a>, <a href="/wiki/1308" title="1308">1308</a>, <a href="/wiki/Westminster" title="Westminster">Westminster</a> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Queen</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Isabella_of_France" title="Isabella of France">Isabella of France</a> (c.<a href="/wiki/1295" title="1295">1295</a>-<a href="/wiki/1358" title="1358">1358</a>) </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Royal House</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Plantagenet" class="mw-redirect" title="Plantagenet">Plantagenet</a> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Father</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Edward_I_of_England" title="Edward I of England">Edward I</a> (<a href="/wiki/1239" title="1239">1239</a>-<a href="/wiki/1307" title="1307">1307</a>) </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Mother</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Eleanor_of_Castile_(1246-1290)" class="mw-redirect" title="Eleanor of Castile (1246-1290)">Eleanor of Castile</a> (<a href="/wiki/1246" title="1246">1246</a>-<a href="/wiki/1290" title="1290">1290</a>) </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Issue</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Edward_III" class="mw-redirect" title="Edward III">Edward III</a> (<a href="/wiki/1312" title="1312">1312</a>-<a href="/wiki/1377" title="1377">1377</a>)<br/><a href="/wiki/John_of_Eltham,_Earl_of_Cornwall" title="John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall">John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall</a><br/>(<a href="/wiki/1316" title="1316">1316</a>-<a href="/wiki/1336" title="1336">1336</a>)<br/><a href="/wiki/Eleanor_of_Woodstock" title="Eleanor of Woodstock">Eleanor of Woodstock</a> (<a href="/wiki/1318" title="1318">1318</a>-<a href="/wiki/1355" title="1355">1355</a>)<br/><a href="/wiki/Jeanne_of_the_Tower" class="mw-redirect" title="Jeanne of the Tower">Jeanne of the Tower</a> (<a href="/wiki/1321" title="1321">1321</a>-<a href="/wiki/1362" title="1362">1362</a>) </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Date of Birth</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/April_25" title="April 25">April 25</a>, <a href="/wiki/1284" title="1284">1284</a> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Place of Birth</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Caernarfon_Castle" title="Caernarfon Castle">Caernarfon Castle</a> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Date of Death</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/September_21" title="September 21">September 21</a>, <a href="/wiki/1327" title="1327">1327</a> </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td><b>Place of Death</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Berkeley_Castle" title="Berkeley Castle">Berkeley Castle</a></td></tr> <tr valign="top"><td><b>Place of Burial</b></td><td><a href="/wiki/Gloucester_Cathedral" title="Gloucester Cathedral">Gloucester Cathedral</a> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Okay, fair enough, although the Handbook of British Chronology has a fairly large number of errors.

It turns out there was one in use anyway, for Sweden (check it out <a href="/wiki/Charles_XV_of_Sweden" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles XV of Sweden">here</a>).

Also 'Predecessor/Successor': this is redundant, since there's a separate infobox for this at the bottom anyway. Instead I've inserted parents and issue (maybe include just the most important of the children, how about 'Main Issue'?) This can be relevant and interesting, and isn't always identical with predecessor/successor. Someone might come to the page trying to find out who was Henry IV's, or Queen Victoria's father, or who was Henry VI's son, or who were the children of Henry VIII. </p><p>I'll soon move this over to wider discussion pages, such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Infobox" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Infobox">Wikipedia:Infobox</a> and create a project page, something like <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Monarchs&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Monarchs (page does not exist)">Wikipedia:WikiProject Monarchs</a>. <a href="/wiki/User:Eixo" title="User:Eixo">Eixo</a> 09:11, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Harthacanute" data-mw-thread-id="h-Harthacanute-2005-05-03T07:19:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Harthacanute-2005-05-03T07:19:00.000Z"></span>Harthacanute<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Harthacanute-2005-05-03T07:19:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Harthacanute"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-John_Kenney-2005-05-03T07:19:00.000Z-Harthacanute"></span>I was just looking at <a href="/wiki/Harthacanute" class="mw-redirect" title="Harthacanute">Harthacanute</a>, and the introduction says "was a King of Denmark (1035–1042) and England (1035–1037, 1040–1042)."

The list of monarchs shows Harold as King from 1035–1040, at which point Harthacanute reclaimed the throne. I would like to know what is the correct statement.

East Anglia was conquered by the Vikings about the same time, as were much of Northumbria and Mercia. The remaining parts of Mercia and Northumbria remained semi-independent, I think, until the early 10th century. I'm not sure at what point the Danelaw was gotten fully under control, but around the same time. At some point between Athelstan and Edgar England was fully united, but I think it's rather unclear to name a precise date. But I'm not certain. My understanding is that Athelstan was already <i>effectively</i> ruler of all England, but that Edgar was the first to actually be "King of England."

The Princes of Wales (or Gwynedd) before the 13th century acknowledged English suzerainty, and it is hard to see how they deserve to be listed, while the <i>Kings</i> of Mercia, Northumberland, Kent, Wessex, and so forth do not. <i>Wales is not directly comparable to Scotland</i>.

that our current listing for Charles II is problematic. He was <i>de facto</i> King of Scotland not merely after 1660, but from 1649 to 1651. Even before he cut a deal with the Covenanters, Charles was recognized by them as king from the death of his father, just as his father was recognized as king up until his death, despite his status as a captive. A year later, Charles actually went to Scotland and was crowned, and, although Cromwell took Edinburgh at some point in there, Charles was still recognized through most of Scotland, and by pretty much all actual <i>Scottish</i> political groupings, as king until after his defeat at Worcester in the fall of 1651. Only then does the Commonwealth begin in Scotland. I think we should, if possible, separate out the table and show him as King of Scotland in 1649-1651 and again from 1660-1685. <a href="/wiki/User:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User:John Kenney">john</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:John Kenney">k</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-John_Kenney-2005-10-20T06:11:00.000Z-Charles_II_as_King_of_Scotland" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:11, 20 October 2005 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-John_Kenney-2005-10-20T06:11:00.000Z-Charles_II_as_King_of_Scotland"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-John_Kenney-2005-10-20T06:11:00.000Z-Charles_II_as_King_of_Scotland"></span> </p><p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="King_Louis" data-mw-thread-id="h-King_Louis-2005-11-24T17:22:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-King_Louis-2005-11-24T17:22:00.000Z"></span>King Louis<span data-mw-comment-end="h-King_Louis-2005-11-24T17:22:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: King Louis"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jmcc150-2005-11-24T17:22:00.000Z-King_Louis"></span>Before I go ahead and insert an extra king, I want to get some opinions. Between King John and Henry III, I think we should insert King Louis. In <a href="/wiki/1216" title="1216">1216</a> the English barons rebelled against King John and offered the throne to <a href="/wiki/Louis_VIII_of_France" title="Louis VIII of France">Louis VIII of France</a>. Louis invaded and was proclaimed king in London in May 1216, although not crowned. The Wiki-article on the <a href="/wiki/First_Barons%27_War" title="First Barons' War">First Barons' War</a> states that "with little resistance the prince entered London, and on June 14 captured Winchester and soon conquered over half of the British kingdom. At St Paul's Cathedral, Louis was accepted as ruler with great pomp and celebration in the presence of all of London. Many nobles, including the King of Scotland, gathered to give homage to him." </p><p><a href="/wiki/Edward_V" title="Edward V">Edward V</a> and <a href="/wiki/Edward_VIII" title="Edward VIII">Edward VIII</a> were never crowned only proclaimed but still rate as kings, so why not Louis? Other monarchs have not been universally recognised eg Stephen and Lady Jane Grey. OK, the barons changed their minds and Louis had to give up the throne by signing the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Lambeth" title="Treaty of Lambeth">Treaty of Lambeth</a>, but for a while he <b>was</b> king. I know it will ruin the mnemonics, but comments please.

This proclamation was probably a different thing than the formal proclamations that occur with new monarchs these days. In any event, neither a proclamation nor a coronation make a non-monarch a monarch. The <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Lambeth" title="Treaty of Lambeth">Treaty of Lambeth</a> and <a href="/wiki/Henry_III_of_England" title="Henry III of England">Henry III of England</a> articles refer to his "claim" to be king, which claim he later withdrew.

For over a year Louis was factually ruling in large parts of England as king, and if he gave up his claim later, it doesn't wipe away the reality. As for "making a non-monarch a monarch" -- there isn't a blood test you can do to see if somebody is really a king or not. The question is whether the candidate had both (a) the title (via coronation, proclamation, or what have you) <b>and</b> (b) a degree of power recognized by the English estates. <a href="/wiki/User:RandomCritic" title="User:RandomCritic">RandomCritic</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-RandomCritic-2006-12-16T12:24:00.000Z-Bkwillwm-2006-11-14T04:25:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:24, 16 December 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-RandomCritic-2006-12-16T12:24:00.000Z-Bkwillwm-2006-11-14T04:25:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-RandomCritic-2006-12-16T12:24:00.000Z-Bkwillwm-2006-11-14T04:25:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Pre-conquest_regnal_numbers_for_England" data-mw-thread-id="h-Pre-conquest_regnal_numbers_for_England-2005-12-28T12:03:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Pre-conquest_regnal_numbers_for_England-2005-12-28T12:03:00.000Z"></span>Pre-conquest regnal numbers for England<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Pre-conquest_regnal_numbers_for_England-2005-12-28T12:03:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Pre-conquest regnal numbers for England"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-TharkunColl-2005-12-28T12:03:00.000Z-Pre-conquest_regnal_numbers_for_England"></span>I have removed all pre-conquest supposed regnal numbers as they were never used by the English themselves, and are therefore not only retrospective but also innacurate (i.e. with regard to the Edwards).

If the King of England was the feudal overlord of Scotland, it would be easy to go through English court rolls and find Scots cases being heard by English courts. And in any case, one could make the same points of the vassal King of England and his overlord the King of France. <blockquote><p>Henry, king of England, has submitted himself in every way to the counsel and will of Philip, king of France, so that whatever the king of France may provide and judge, the king of England will accomplish entirely and without contradiction. Truly then the aforementioned king of England again rendered homage to the king of France because, as we have said above, he had surrendered his lands to his lord the king of France; and the king of France returned his homage to him at the beginning of this settlement.

We are supposed to use the most commonly used forms in English, and those forms are most certainly the English forms, with a few exceptions where like Aed, where the Gaelic form is used. This is not to deny that these Kings and their courts spoke Gaelic, anymore than having <a href="/wiki/Philip_II_of_Spain" title="Philip II of Spain">Philip II of Spain</a> or <a href="/wiki/Philip_VI_of_France" title="Philip VI of France">Philip VI of France</a> or <a href="/wiki/Frederick_William_IV_of_Prussia" title="Frederick William IV of Prussia">Frederick William IV of Prussia</a> denies those monarchs having spoken Spanish, French, and German, respectively. These people's articles should obviously give their Gaelic names at the top, but I see no reason for the Gaelic name to be given in this list. <a href="/wiki/User:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User:John Kenney">john k</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z-Names_for_early_Scottish_monarchs" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:18, 18 July 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z-Names_for_early_Scottish_monarchs"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z-Names_for_early_Scottish_monarchs"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:18:00.000Z-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z"></span>Well, that's something I have also found odd and do not agree with. It seems there exists a couple of editors, active in that field, who have decided to promote Gaelic names instead of English ones in English Wikipedia. It's abundantly clear to me that it was Malcolm II and not Mael Coluim II who is better known to English readers. Their Gaelic names are all very well to present in explanatories of he first paragraph of biography articles, but it's height of folly to push them to all sorts of other places. We do not generally say "King Lajos II of Hungary" but "king Louis II of Hungary" in english and that's something medieval Gaelic notables should also follow. (Actually, in these lists which list scottish monarchs in sequence, I would not object too much if the list presents the engliush name AND then, in parentheses, the Gaelic name.) <a href="/wiki/User:Marrtel" title="User:Marrtel">Marrtel</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:18:00.000Z-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:18:00.000Z-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:18:00.000Z-John_Kenney-2006-07-18T17:18:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Angusmclellan-2006-07-20T22:52:00.000Z-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:18:00.000Z"></span>In Oram's <i>The Canmore Kings</i> the first sentence of the book reads "In the year 1040, Donnchad mac Crinain (Duncan I), king of Scots, led an army into Moray against his kinsman and rival Macbethad (Macbeth)." That's an introductory book for general readers. Malcolm III is introduced as "Máel Coluim mac Donnchada ... known as Malcolm III", Donald III is called Domnall mac Donnchada, Donnchad mac Maíl Coluim is described (dubiously) as "better known as Duncan II".

The Old Pretender never became <i>de facto</i> monarch (well, maybe in Scotland in 1745-1746, but even that's pretty questionable), but his <i>de jure</i> claims were the basis of a serious political movement and two rebellions that seriously threatened the Hanoverian regime. Even later, in 19th century France, the <i>de jure</i> claims of the Comte de Chambord, while never actually leading to him becoming <i>de facto</i> king, were nevertheless the center of a considerable political movement, and he nearly received the crown on a couple of occasions. In the middle ages, <i>de jure</i> claims were considerably more serious, in that they very often led to protracted civil wars - for a couple of examples, note the <a href="/wiki/Hundred_Years_War" class="mw-redirect" title="Hundred Years War">Hundred Years War</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses" title="Wars of the Roses">Wars of the Roses</a>, the War of the Breton Succession, the considerable civil warring in the Kingdom of Naples in the late 14th and early 15th centuries, and so on and so forth. Now, I think that <i>de jure</i> claims should not be sufficient to get someone listed in a "list of monarchs" article, but that's not the same thing as being "ridiculous". Hell, even people with <i>de jure</i> claims which were themselves incredibly dubious - <a href="/wiki/Perkin_Warbeck" title="Perkin Warbeck">Perkin Warbeck</a>, for instance - came dangerously close to <i>de facto</i> rule. The dynastic emphasis of the European middle ages means that <i>de jure</i> claims are rarely completely silly. <a href="/wiki/User:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User:John Kenney">john k</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-John_Kenney-2006-07-21T00:56:00.000Z-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:12:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:56, 21 July 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-John_Kenney-2006-07-21T00:56:00.000Z-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:12:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-John_Kenney-2006-07-21T00:56:00.000Z-Marrtel-2006-07-20T21:12:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Marrtel-2006-07-24T21:22:00.000Z-John_Kenney-2006-07-21T00:56:00.000Z"></span>For our lists of monarchs, the <i>de jure</i> monarchs are ridiculous to list. Such as, speaking about Jacobite ones, <a href="/wiki/Charles_IV_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles IV of England">Charles IV of England</a>. If there is a list of "claimants to" a certain throne, which actually often is notable thing enough for a viable article, they are welcome to such lists, but not to be mingled with real monarchs and real "anti-kings". I would not take away such monarchs like, Germany's list, Rudolf of Rheinfelden, who was anti-king of the Romans for a certain clear period, they are welcome to have their places in lists of reigning monarchs, generally in a place which directly says that during this-and-this monarchs reign, these two years a rival ruled (a part of the country or whatever).

Various moves, redirects, and cut-and-paste moves have recently been performed on these articles. The current situation is unacceptable, since there is not currently any article on the <a href="/wiki/King_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="King of England">King of England</a> (it is now a double redirect), which has dozens of links to it in many articles. I propose the following solution: </p> <ul><li>Create a <a href="/wiki/King_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="King of England">King of England</a> (or <a href="/wiki/Monarch_of_England" class="mw-redirect" title="Monarch of England">Monarch of England</a>) article. This will be an article about the institution (there isn't any article like that currently).</li> <li>Create a <a href="/wiki/King_of_Scotland" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Scotland">King of Scotland</a> article (or <a href="/wiki/Monarch_of_Scotland" class="mw-redirect" title="Monarch of Scotland">Monarch of Scotland</a>, or <a href="/wiki/King_of_Scots" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Scots">King of Scots</a>, we can argue about that later). Same deal as above. The opening section of <a href="/wiki/List_of_monarchs_of_Scotland" class="mw-redirect" title="List of monarchs of Scotland">List of monarchs of Scotland</a> should go in this article, since it isn't a list, it is the nucleus of an article about the Scottish monarchy.</li> <li>Keep <a href="/wiki/List_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles" class="mw-redirect" title="List of monarchs in the British Isles">List of monarchs in the British Isles</a>. The above two article will probably also have lists, I don't think we can avoid duplication there. For an example of what I am talking about, see <a href="/wiki/King_of_Ireland" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Ireland">King of Ireland</a>.</li> <li>Various other articles like <a href="/wiki/King_of_Great_Britain" class="mw-redirect" title="King of Great Britain">King of Great Britain</a>, etc can link to <a href="/wiki/List_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles" class="mw-redirect" title="List of monarchs in the British Isles">List of monarchs in the British Isles</a>.</li> <li>There is also the <a href="/wiki/British_monarchy" class="mw-redirect" title="British monarchy">British monarchy</a> article to consider. It does have sections on the English and Scottish monarchy. So, either put links to the separate articles there, or just make these links redirect to these sections (I don't really like that, I think the institutions should have their own articles)</li></ul> <p>There needs to be some sort of coherent presentation of this material, the current situation is very confusing, and the millions of double redirects is not acceptable.

Certainly there was no such vassalage between 1314 and 1707 (1603-1707 saw a personal union, but Scotland was not technically subordinated to England in any formal way, except between 1651 and 1660). <a href="/wiki/User:John_Kenney" class="mw-redirect" title="User:John Kenney">john k</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-John_Kenney-2006-11-14T01:29:00.000Z-TharkunColl-2006-11-14T00:15:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-John_Kenney-2006-11-14T01:29:00.000Z-TharkunColl-2006-11-14T00:15:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-John_Kenney-2006-11-14T01:29:00.000Z-TharkunColl-2006-11-14T00:15:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm." data-mw-thread-id="h-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm.-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z"><span id="List_of_Monarchs.2C_Hmm."></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm.-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z"></span>List of Monarchs, Hmm.<span data-mw-comment-end="h-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm.-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: List of Monarchs, Hmm."><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Brendandh-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm."></span>"The list of monarchs below can be exhaustive." </p><p>Does this mean that it NOT exhaustive, or it just is exhausting? <a href="/wiki/User:Brendandh" title="User:Brendandh">Brendandh</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lists_of_monarchs_in_the_British_Isles#c-Brendandh-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm." class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">21:09, 22 November 2006 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Brendandh-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm."><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Brendandh-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z-List_of_Monarchs,_Hmm."></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-JackofOz-2006-11-22T23:27:00.000Z-Brendandh-2006-11-22T21:09:00.000Z"></span>It's not clear what it means.

And where would it stop? Arguably, it'd be more useful to have a side-by-side table of English monarchs and bishops of Lincoln, the latter being prolly as about important to the English monarch for most of middle ages as the Scottish king.
