The seven kings Shakespeare wrote about are: Richard II, Richard III, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Henry VIII, and King John. These are seven of the ten Histories that Shakespeare wrote.
Shakespeare only wrote about the following English monarchs: John, Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Edward IV, Edward V, Richard III, Henry VII and Henry VIII. Possibly also Edward III. He did not write about any others, and it is an open question whether making someone a character in a play constitutes "immortalizing in verse".
