The political structure of the British Isles has changed several times through history, leading to changes to the official names of the country and therefore the title of the monarch.
England is one of the four regions which make up what is now "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", the others being Scotland, The Principality of Wales and the Province of Northern Ireland.
There has not been a King (or Queen) of "England" on its own, since England, Scotland and Wales were united as "The United Kingdom of Great Britain" in the year 1707.
In 1812, the monarch was King George III. He was born on 4th June 1738, began his reign on 25th October 1760 and reigned until his death on 29th January 1820
At the beginning of his reign, his title was King of Great Britain and he held the then separate title King of Ireland.
On 1st January 1801, the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were united and he became King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
He was succeeded by his son, King George IV, who was born on 12th August 1762, became King on his father's death on 29th January 1820 and reigned until his own death on 26th June 1830. George IV was also King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
George IV was succeeded by his younger brother, King William IV. William was born on 21st August 1765, became King on 26th June 1830 and reigned until his death on 20th June 1837. He too, was King of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
William IV was followed by Queen Victoria, a grand daughter of George III, and niece of William IV.
She was born on 24th May 1819, became Queen on 20th June 1837 and reigned until she died on 22nd January 1901.
Victoria was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and, from 1st May 1876, Empress of India.
To complete the story of the changing names of the country, the southern part of Ireland was separated in 1922, to become what is now The Republic of Ireland, and the six counties of Northern Ireland remained a part of the United Kingdom.
