Fill the Royal Arms with British Monarchs

Since the beginning of the seventeenth century, with the personal union of the English and Scottish Crowns, eighteen people has served as monarchs of the United Kingdom. In three minutes, can you fill the royal coat of arms by naming them all?
1This monarch inherited the throne in Scotland in 1567 and in 1603, upon the death of heirless Elizabeth I, the crowns of Scotland and England came into personal union.
2This monarch was executed by Parliamentarians (the ‘Roundheads’) near the end of the English Civil War.
3This monarch ruled over Scotland alone from 1649–1651, when the monarchy was abolished in Scotland as it had been in England. By 1660, the monarchy was restored and this monarch returned to the shared throne over Britain.
4This person was the heir apparent to the throne and both they and their spouse were invited by the parliaments of Scotland and England to take up the monarchy under the banner of Protestantism.
5During this monarch's reign, in 1707, the personal union of the Scottish and English crowns became a political union over Great Britain.
6Due to anti-German sentiment in the United Kingdom during the First World War, in 1917, the monarch from the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha changed the style of their monarchy to the House of Windsor, after the long royal association with Windsor, Berkshire.
7This monarch abdicated less than one year after succeeding to the throne.
Due to the recurrence of various monarchical styles, when someone is not the first of their name since 1603, their regnal numbers must be typed.
