::This list is not about "monarchs who claimed territory in what would become Canada", but of monarchs heading Canada as a contemporary political entity. For example, land claims by foreign monarchs in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan from 1762 to 1803 are irrelevant to who was the monarch of Canada, as these places were not part of Canada at the time. Who the current monarch is has nothing to do with territory, but only about the political entity over which they reign.
