This is the ULTIMATE LIST of all the British monarchs from 1603 to the present day, starting with James I of England whose accession saw the Scottish and English crowns finally combine to form a single, British monarchy. This is the story of the House of Stuart (including the Jacobites), the House of Hanover, the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and the House of Windsor. I’ll be telling you which King was executed, which Kings were exiled, which King met Pocahontas and who oversaw the invention of the Union Jack flag. You’ll also learn about the only case of joint monarchy in British history, which monarchs hated their sons (and fathers), mad King George, who the first King of the United Kingdom was, the Prince Regent who became a King, why Queen Victoria wasn’t Electress of Hanover, which King abdicated and why, which 20th century King was murdered, who the longest reigning King in British history and the longest reigning Queen in British history were, plus which of them was also the longest reigning monarch in British history.
Please enjoy this documentary from History Calling on the history of the British monarchy and remember to check out last week’s video on the history of the English monarchy from 1066 to 1603.
