List of Monarchs
Until 1927, part of the monarch's royal title included the words King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1927, the words United Kingdom were removed from the royal title so that the monarch was instead styled as King/Queen of Great Britain, Ireland.... The words United Kingdom were restored to the monarch's title in 1953 with the reference to Ireland replaced with a reference to Northern Ireland.

Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”

The brightest heaven of invention!

And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!”
