Monarchy in the British Isles

This article lists Monarchs of England and its successor states, from 1801 the Kingdom of Great Britain, from 1801 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and from 1927 the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The usual title for these monarchs is King, but those marked with ƒ were female, and therefore Queens instead.
