The British monarchyThe monarchy of theUnited Kingdom(commonly referred to as the British monarchy) is the constitutional monarchy
of theUnited Kingdomand its overseas territories. The British monarchy traces its origins from the
Kings of the Angles and the early Scottish Kings. By the year 1000, the kingdoms ofEnglandandScotlandhad developed from the petty kingdoms of early medievalBritain. The
last Anglo-Saxon monarch (Harold II) was defeated and killed in the Norman
invasion of 1066 and the English monarchy passed to the Norman conquerors. In
the thirteenth century, the principality ofWaleswas absorbed byEngland,
and Magna Carta began the process of reducing the political powers of the
monarch.From 1603, when the Scottish King James VI inherited the English throne as
James I, both kingdoms were ruled by a single monarch. From 1649 to 1660 the
tradition of monarchy was broken by the republicanCommonwealthofEnglandthat followed the War of the Three Kingdoms. The Act of Settlement 1701, which
is still in force, excluded Roman Catholics, or those married to Catholics,
from succession to the English throne. In 1707 the kingdoms of England and
Scotland were merged to create the Kingdom of Great Britain and in 1801 the
Kingdom of Ireland joined to create the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland. The British monarch became nominal head of the vastBritish
Empire, which covered a quarter of the world's surface at its
greatest extent in 1921.
In the 1920s,
five-sixths ofIrelandseceded from the Union as the Irish Free State, and the Balfour Declaration
recognised the evolution of the dominions of the empire into separate,
self-governing countries within aCommonwealth of Nations.
After the Second World War, the vast majority of British colonies and
territories became independent, effectively bringing the empire to an end.
George VI and his successor, Elizabeth II, adopted the title Head of the
Commonwealth as a symbol of the free association of its independent member
states.
The Commonwealth
includes both republics and monarchies. At present fifteen other Commonwealth
countries share with theUnited
Kingdomthe same person as their monarch.
The terms British monarchy and British monarch are frequently still employed in
reference to the person and institution shared amongst all sixteen of the
Commonwealth realms,[ and to the distinct monarchies within each of these
independent countries, often at variance with the different, specific, and
official national titles and styles for each jurisdiction.
