[QUOTE="Freodin, post: 72054255, member: 1363"] Saw this post in the other thread and decided to respond here in your own little topic. Yes, there still is a monarchy in Scotland. Scotland had long been an independent kingdom, but Mary Stuart was the last independent queen. Scotland's big neighbor and rival, England, was also ruled by a queen during Mary's era, the famous Elizabeth I, the "Virgin Queen". As her nickname implies, she had no children, and by the genealogical entanglements of the noble houses, her heir was Mary's only child, James. He became King of Scotland when his mother was executed, as James VI, and later, when Elizabeth died, also King of England, as James I. Since then, both kingdoms have been ruled by one monarch, first as two kingdoms united by one ruler, then later as a formal union. This is where the "United Kingdom" comes from... it is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain" (later +Ireland, and again later +only Northern Ireland). [/QUOTE]
