No. The name would be changed to, say, British Monarchs. However, anyone clicking on "UK Monarchs" "Kings of England" "Scottish Monarchs", or any of a number of terms, would be directed to it. But even if this doesn't get up (and after an hour plowing into early Scotland I almost hope it doesn't! -:))I will still be going into bat for the name change of the current sites. If Alfred is to be listed under "UK Monarchs" then so should Donald II of Scotland who died the year after Alfred. They were both ruling parts of the modern UK. (I'm getting carried away again, aren't I?)[[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 18:55, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

:I do not believe it is wrong to use a modern name for a state to describe previous periods in history of that state. The union of 1707 was imposed by the English, and the modern UK is a continuation of the kingdom of England. Other areas, like Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, were simply annexed by that state.
