When and under which famous monarch were England and Wales officially joined?
The Union of England and Wales occurred during the reign of Henry VIII. Wales had been governed by English kings since the days of Edward I, but Wales was run separately from England, and Ireland was too was run by English kings but as a separate country. Each part of Wales was run by a separate lord and these lords were always quarrelling with one another and some even rebelled against the king. Henry did not like this and decided to join the two states together so that he could govern more effectively. He did not make a Union of the 2 states but instead rolled Wales up into England. The Law in Wales Act 1535 said that Wales was and had always been part of England and now it was time for it to be governed the same way as the rest of England and so Wales was divided into counties, like England, and sent members to Parliament, like England, and Welsh Law was abolished and English law put in its place. The man who arranged all this for the king was Thomas Cromwell. His great grandnephew, Oliver Cromwell, later rebelled against another king, Charles I.

Which king or queen was wales formally united with England?
England effectively absorbed Wales into it - Wales had no option than to be integrated.Edward I had conquered Wales circa 1283. The most rebellious part of Wales was Snowdonia area This forced Edward build a number of large and quite formidable castles around the Snowdonia area meant to terrorise the people of North Wales.After 1283, Wales that was under the control of the King was called "The Principality". This area, about a third of Wales, was ruled as if it was part of England. As in England, the Principality was divided into shires which were governed by men appointed by the king of the time. Two-thirds of Wales was still governed by what were called the "Marcher Lords". This was land that had been conquered by the Norman's during the 11th and 12th centuries.In 1485, Henry Tudor defeated Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Henry was a Welshman and the involvement of Welsh soldiers at Bosworth played a significant part in Henry's victory. After he became king, Henry rewarded many Welsh men with government posts in London.In 1509, Henry VIII succeeded his father to the throne. Henry did not have the same feel for Wales that his father had. Henry VII had a Welsh dragon and a wolfhound on his heraldic insignia. Henry VIII dropped the wolfhound and replaced it with a lion, thus making the royal insignia less Welsh.

Which countries border Wales?
Wales is a part of the UK and as of such is not a sovereign country. Because of this Wales on its own doesn't have any borders. The UK as a whole shares borders with the Republic of Ireland. Wales is next to England but as they are both part of Britain and therefore the same country this isn't an official border.
Is Wales a part of Ireland?
Wales is in the UK because Henry VII of Wales won a battle against Richard III of England and became the King of England. He became the King of two different countries and united them. _______ The battle of Bosworth Field (1485) during the English Civil War of the Roses alluded to above certainly is a factor, but Wales likely would have been part of the UK regardless of the fact that after this victory for Henry (who became Henry VII of England not of Wales) and the House of Lancaster, the Welsh more readily associated themselves with the Tudor line of kings than before (because Henry had Welsh ancestry as well as a claim to the English throne which he took as victor of the above battle). Wales had been conquered by the English King Edward I in the late 13th Century but an Act of Union was not made between England and Wales until 1536 during the reign of Henry VIII. Even this was not a complete union as Wales was not privy to it. It was law passed by the English without Welsh intervention. The scene for this next step toward complete union was set during Henry VII's reign but it is probably not as simple as saying this is the sole reason. When the UK came to be, many centuries later, Wales was a member of an existing union. The UK simply resembled the addition of a further member to this union (which had already expanded to include England, Wales and Scotland). Ireland was the new member (later only Northern Ireland) and Great Britain became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (later Northern Ireland). That is why Wales is in the UK.
