The three greatest changes I can attribute to her reign were (1) it had to be acknowledged that a woman had extraordinary capabilities to govern a country superbly, (2) her expansion of the British navy was one that saved her nation against the Spanish armada, and (3) she brought in all sorts of scientists and artists (including writers) that broadened the horizons of the English immeasurably.

What were the full names of the kings of England in the 1800s?

There has not been a King (or Queen) of England since the year 1707.

In the year 1800, the monarch was King George III, who was King Of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, and who separately held the title "King of Ireland." His full name was George William Frederick.

England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom.

During the reign of George III, on 1st January 1801, the crowns of Great Britain and Ireland were united, and he then held the single title "King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland."

George III died on 29th January 1820 and was succeeded by his son George Augustus Frederick, who became King George IV, also of Great Britain and Ireland.

George IV reigned until his death on 20th June 1837 and was succeeded by his younger brother, William Henry, who became King William IV of Great Britain and Ireland.

When William IV died on 20th June 1837, he was succeeded by his niece, Alexandrina Victoria, who became Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Ireland; she reigned until her death on 22nd January 1901.

British Royalty do not have surnames, but are said to belong to a "Royal House" - George III, George IV, William IV and Victoria all belonged to the Royal House of Hanover.

What impact did Elizabeth's rule have on England?

The Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II was the ceremony in which the newly ascended monarch, Elizabeth II, was crowned Queen of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Ceylon, and Pakistan, as well as taking on the role of Head of the Commonwealth. Elizabeth ascended the thrones of these countries upon the death of her father, King George VI on 6 February 1952, and was proclaimed queen by her various privy and executive councils shortly afterward. The coronation, was held more than a year after the accession, on 2 June 1953; this followed the tradition that a festival such as a coronation was inappropriate during the period of mourning that followed the death of the preceding sovereign. In the coronation ceremony itself, Elizabeth swore an oath to uphold the laws of her nations and, specifically for England, to govern the Church of England.

When will the Queen of England pass on the throne?

Currently, the Heir Apparent is his Royal Highness The Prince Charles, who (if he survives) will immediately become King when Queen Elizabeth II dies.

The Queen doesn't have the power to do that. The succession to the throne is determined by law, and it's not her personal property. It would require an Act of Parliament to bypass Prince Charles.

He is the first European travelling from the north known to have seen the prairies, the greatbuffaloherds, grizzly bears, and the many Great Plains First Nations tribes.[3](Francisco Vásquez de Coronado had reached Kansas from New Mexico in 1540-42.)

After years in Canada, Kelsey returned at age 55 to England in 1722. He died two years later, and was buried in St Alfege's Church, Greenwich. There is a commemorative plaque to his name.[2]
