In 1603, Queen Elizabeth I of England died and was succeeded by the then King of Scotland, James VI. Though James had united the Crown, he did not unite the Kingdoms. Famously he compared his rule of two kingdoms to the polygamy of a man with two wives. It was around this time that the first Union Flags were used. The century to follow was full of constitutional turmoil and civil war. For a brief period during Cromwell's Protectorate, there was just one Great Britain (though a republic not a kingdom) but with the re-instatement of the crown in the form of Charles II the two kingdoms were once again politically separate. It was not until Queen Anne that the two kingdoms were finally united to make the United Kingdom of Great Britain.
With that history explained, we shall start our list with the Union of the kingdoms. For details prior to 1707, refer to: Kings and Queens of England, Kings and Queens of Scotland, Kings and Queens of Ireland and Kings and Queens of Wales

Notes
Although the United Kingdom of Great Britain came into existence in 1707, official documents continued to date Queen Anne's regnal years from her original accession as Queen of England and Scotland in 1702. Similarly, William IV called himself that as successor of three Kings William of England. It is understood that a similar policy would be adopted in respect of Scottish monarchs, so that, for example, in the unlikely event of the accession of Lord Severn to the throne, he would probably be called James VIII. There is, however, no actual law binding monarchs in their choice of names and numbers.
George I was not so styled during his reign, but was simply called King George. His number was retrospectively added on the accession of George II.
