1Athelstan was king of Wessex and the first king of all England.
2James VI of Scotland became also James I of England in 1603. Upon accession to the English throne he styled himself "King of Great Britain" and was so proclaimed. Legally, however, he and his successors held separate English and Scottish kingships until the Act of Union of 1707, when the two kingdoms were united as the Kingdom of Great Britain.
3The United Kingdom was formed on Jan. 1, 1801, with the union of Great Britain and Ireland. After 1801 George III was styled "King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland."
4Oliver and Richard Cromwell served as lords protector of England, Scotland, and Ireland during the republican Commonwealth.
5William and Mary, as husband and wife, reigned jointly until Mary's death in 1694. William then reigned alone until his own death in 1702.
6George IV was regent from Feb. 5, 1811.
7In 1917, during World War I, George V changed the name of his house from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.
8Edward VIII succeeded upon the death of his father, George V, on Jan. 20, 1936, but abdicated on Dec. 11, 1936, before coronation.
