I know this merger needs more work, but I'm off to the pub, I'll resume when I get back. PatGallacher 18:25, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)

Can't we include this in the succession box? IP Address 06:11, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King of England and France?

Is this really true? The Acts of Union had nothing to do with France, it was merging England and Scotland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reagar (talk • contribs) 19:47, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cromwell, King of France?

Or Protector of France? The claim makes no sense on the face of it, as the British claim to France was dynastic, and Cromwell wasn't claiming to be the heir of the Stuarts. His rule over England, Scotland, and Ireland was real and accomplished by wars fought in all three kingdoms. The symbols of the Commonwealth show the arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, but I've never seen anything for France. The evidence offered in the Interregnum section is far from convincing; the "etc." could refer to any other dependency of England -- notably the American colonies.
