List of English Monarchs (Pox)

The monarchy of the England, commonly referred to as the English monarchy, is the constitutional monarchy of England, Wales, its dependencies, and its overseas territories. The current monarch and head of state is King Simon I, who ascended the throne in 2012.

The monarch and their immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to non-partisan functions such as bestowing honours and appointing the Prime Minister. The monarch is commander-in-chief of the English Armed Forces. Though the ultimate formal executive authority over the government of the Kingdom is still by and through the monarch's royal prerogative, these powers may only be used according to laws enacted in Parliament and, in practice, within the constraints of convention and precedent.

The English monarchy traces its origins from the petty kingdoms of early medieval Anglo-Saxon England, which consolidated into the kingdoms of England by the 10th century. England was conquered by the Normans in 1066, after which Wales too gradually came under control of Anglo-Normans. The process was completed in the 13th century when the Principality of Wales became a client state of the English kingdom. Meanwhile, Magna Carta began a process of reducing the English monarch's political powers.
