This list of reigning kings and queens of the Kingdom of England begins with Alfred the Great, who initially ruled Wessex, one of the seven Anglo-Saxon kingdoms which later made up modern England. Alfred styled himself King of the Anglo-Saxons from about 886, and while he was not the first king to claim to rule all of the English, his rule represents the start of the first unbroken line of kings to rule the whole of England, the House of Wessex.

Historically, the monarch has been a very powerful and dominant force within English society and governance. As a result, various different houses and royal dynasties vied for the English throne, often resulting in bloodshed such as the Wars of the Roses, the Glorious Revolution, and the Napoleonic conquest of England.

Following Napoleon's conquest of the Kingdom of England in 1805, the English monarchy would flee to the then-colony of Henryland, governing from the coastal city of Tudor Bay. Following the ascension of Henry Hunt in the English War of Independence, England would expel the French from England and the First English Republic would be proclaimed. As a result, the monarchy refused to renounce their claims to England as, with the monarchy in Henryland holding the title of "Monarch of England in-exile." Following an agreement between Henryland and the Second English Republic in 1984, the monarchy would renounce their claim to England and officially switch the title to "Monarch of Henryland and Commonwealth realms."

Monarchs of England

House of Tudor (1485-1603)

During the decades-long Wars of the Roses, the House of Tudor and their allies would come out triumphant over the House of York and its leader Richard III. After this victory, Henry VII would become the undisputed King of England and Lord of Ireland, ushering in Tudor rule over England. The Tudors are arguably the most influential English dynasty in the modern era, with English colonization of the New World starting under their dynasty. The dynasty also oversaw the English Reformation and the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, which would create the modern Anglican church and the Church of England. As a result, much of England's modern identity can be traced back to developments during the Tudor era.
