Re: Monarchs
Okay ... I must be missing something but will give the only, simple answer I know.Elizabeth II, only to the English, following on after Elizabeth Tudor., who never had an ordinal number as the first of the name don't until another comes along.
Elizabeth I to the Scots, as she is the first to them .. as Elizabeth Tudor didn't rule them as they were independent.

That's it in a nutshell, Morticia.Although Elizabeth II is entitled to use the style Elizabeth II in Scotland and in the states that were once former dominions, for reasons explained in this article.

Re: Monarchs
That was a good link ... It's all a bit more involved than I thought Boots.
I can remember in my youth chatting to some Scots in the local pub. Nice friendly people.Until ... a row got going about this Elizabeth I or Elizabeth II thing ... and by the time I'd wriggled to safety a fight had blown up in the car park and the police had to be called.
