Rulers Of Enoland.

The first to rule over all England was
Egbert, king Of Wessex, who united all
the various petty kingdoms and became
king Of England in 827. The greater
kingdom was disrupted from s78 to
958, when the Danes ruled north Of the:
Thames. In the latter year King Ed
gar reunited the kingdom. and since
that time it has never been partitioned.
Between Edmund Ironside (1O16, and
Edward the Confessor QO42) three
Danish kings ruled all England-Ca-
mute, Harold l. and Hardicanute. The
first king Of Great Britain was James
l. Q60S). The first king Of the United
Kingdom Of Great Britain and Ireland
was George III. From the conquest Of
Ireland In 1172 by Henry IL. the kings
OF England were styled lord of Ireland
until the assumption of the title king
Of Ireland by Henry VIII, and there
after this title was used until the act
of union In 1901. The imperial sover-
eighty Of India was assumed by Queen
Victoria.
