The line of succession of the throne over England can be traced back to the Anglo-Saxon House of Wessex in the ninth century. Until the political union of England and Scotland in 1707, 47 individuals ruled over England. In five minutes, can you name them all?

¹This monarch was King of England and Ireland jure uxoris (‘by right of [his] wife’).

³This 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.
⁴During this monarch's reign, in 1707, the personal union of the Scottish and English crowns became a political union over Great Britain.
