Note on the data. Reigns follow the Royal Household's list of Kings and Queens from 1066, including Lady Jane Grey. Stephen's reign is listed there with Matilda, who is not counted as a separate monarch here; Stephen is grouped with the Normans. Lancaster and York were branches of the Plantagenets. George V is shown under Windsor, the name he adopted in 1917.
