Ireland is mostly the Republic of Ireland (which does not have a monarchy) and partly Northern Ireland (whose monarch is Elizabeth II).
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, a constitutional monarchy.
Until the 20th century, all Ireland had a constitutional monarchy and was a part of the United Kingdom since 1801.
Monarchies were in existence through most of the history of Ireland.
In the High Middle Ages, the Gaelic kingdoms of Ireland ended when the Normans invaded Ireland.
Ireland became a fief of the Papal States (the government of the Pope).
The King of England's government started to control many of the lands of Ireland.
This continued until the English Reformation, when the Kingdom of England got full ownership of Ireland.
The Kingdom of Ireland came into existence in the reign of Henry VIII.
Henry VIII was the first to be both King of England and King of Ireland.
The Kingdom of Ireland started in 1542.
Before 1603, Ireland shared a monarch with the Kingdom of England (but not with the Kingdom of Scotland) in a personal union.
When Henry VIII's daughter Elizabeth I died in 1603, James VI and I became the first to be King of Ireland, King of England, and King of Scotland in a three-kingdom personal union.
Between 1603 and 1707, the Kingdom of Ireland shared the monarchs of the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England.
Anne was the Queen of Ireland when the United Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence in 1707.
Anne was Queen of Ireland and Queen of Great Britain.
Between 1707 and 1801, the Kingdom of Ireland shared the British monarchy with the United Kingdom of Great Britain. (
During the government of Oliver Cromwell, the British Isles became a republic: the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland.)
George III was King of Ireland when the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland came into existence at the start of 1801.
George III was the first to be king of the new kingdom, which combined the whole British Isles (except the Isle of Man) into one kingdom for the first time.
In December 1922, most of Ireland left the United Kingdom to become part of the Irish Free State, a dominion within the British Empire; the rest, Northern Ireland, remained within the United Kingdom.
In 1937, after George V died, the Free State changed its laws to give the British monarchs much less power.
In April 1949, the Republic of Ireland stopped having a monarchy entirely, and left the Commonwealth of Nations.
Since then, the only part of Ireland to have a monarchy is Northern Ireland (because it is part of the United Kingdom).
Elizabeth II is the present queen.
Charles, Prince of Wales is the heir apparent.

Lawrence v. Texas, 539 US 558 (2003), is the primary piece of case law which ultimately decriminalized sodomy in the United States.
Ruled upon by the United States Supreme Court in 2003, Lawrence v. Texas concerned a Texas law that criminalized consensual, adult homosexual intercourse which was found unconstitutional under the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Houston Police were tipped off to a weapons disturbance purportedly from the residence of John Lawrence.
Upon entering the apartment, police found Lawrence and Tyron Garner engaging in sexual intercourse.
At the time, a statute was in place which banned such homosexual sex acts and further deemed homosexuality a "deviance."
Both Lawrence and Garner were arrested and convicted under this statute.
Upon appeal, the Texas State Court of Appeals affirmed the men's convictions citing Bowers v. Hardwick, 478 US 186 (1986), as the controlling case.
In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court voted to overturn Lawrence's conviction and declared the Texas anti-sodomy statute unconstitutional.
The decision hinged on the right of Lawrence and Garner to engage in private conduct under the Due Process Clause.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing the majority opinion, stated "[Lawrence and Garner's] right to liberty under the Due Process Clause gives them the full right to engage in their conduct without intervention of the government."
The decision to overturn Bowers v. Hardwick was 5-4, with Justice O'Connor (a member of the Bowers majority back in 1986) refusing to overturn Bowers and instead supporting the Lawrence ruling on narrower Equal Protection grounds because the challenged Texas law made male-male sodomy illegal but not male-female sodomy.
In a 2004 law review article, U.S. law professors Nelson Lund and John McGinnis criticized Lawrence v. Texas due to its alleged judicial hubris and expressed fears that its extremely broad language could have unexpected consequences in the long(er)-run.

Hester Shaw, later known as Hester Natsworthy, is the lead heroine of Philip Reeve's Mortal Engines Quartet.
Background and life
Hester Shaw, aged around fifteen at the beginning of the Quartet, is the daughter of Thaddeus Valentine and Pandora Shaw.
She was raised by Shrike.
Hester is portrayed as having copper hair and gray eyes.
She has a scar which cut her face from forehead to jaw, a wrenched mouth, a stump nose, and a single eye.
In the first novel of the Mortal Engines Quartet (known in US as The Hungry City Chronicles), Mortal Engines, her botched assassination attempt on Thaddeus Valentine led to Tom Natsworthy and set off a chain of events that would change a course of history.
In the Mortal Engines student short film made in 2009, Alyssa Burnett plays Hester.
One of her photos are mistakenly identified as a cosplay.
In Mortal Engines, the film adaptation of the first book, Hester is portrayed by twenty-eight-year-old Icelandic actress Hera Hilmar as an adult, while the young Hester is played by New Zealand child actress Poppy Macleod.
Her scar is heavily toned down, and she is aged to her twenties.
Hilmar described her character as challenging to play.
Christian Rivers, the director of the film, addressed the fan criticism over Hester's scar, stating that audiences would be "put off the film" if it were more true to the books.
The author acknowledged the difference.
Other changes include: she lost her mother when she was eight and she fought Valentine aboard his airship.

The Charge of the Light Brigade was a failed military attack during the Crimean War in 1854.
It was a charge by British Light Cavalry (who didn't have many weapons or armour) against Russians and their allies.
The cavalry were supposed to attack regular soldiers, which they were good at, but the British leaders made a mistake and caused the cavalry to attack artillery guns, which they were not good at.
It is remembered because there was a poem written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson that praised the bravery of the soldiers.
