The Kingdom of Great Britain was formed on 1 May 1707 when it merged with the Kingdom of Scotland (before that date England and Scotland had been in a personal union since 24 March 1603).
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was formed on 1 January 1801 (Ireland had also been in a personal union with Great Britain previously). Most of Ireland left the union on 6 December 1922, so on 12 April 1927 the official name became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
There has been 12 monarchs of Great Britain.
