How did the UK Royal family come in to reign?

Question

Where and how did it begin, who was the first person to came in to such power, who made them king?

Answer 1

Egbert of Wessex was also known as Egbert the Saxon; sometimes spelled Ecgberht or Ecgbryh. Has been called "the first king of all England" and "the first king of all the English." Egbert of Wessex was noted for helping to make Wessex such a powerful kingdom that England was eventually unified around it. Because he was accepted as king in Essex, Kent, Surrey and Sussex and for a time also managed to conquer Mercia, he has been called "the first king of all England."

In 789, the West Saxon king Beorhtric and the Mercian king Offa drove Egbert into exile, and he may have spent some time at the court of Charlemagne. A few years later he returned to Britain, where his subsequent activities for the next decade remain a mystery. In 802, he succeeded Beorhtric as king of Wessex and removed the kingdom from the Mercian confederation, establishing himself as an independent ruler.

In 825, Egbert defeated the Mercian king Beornwulf at the Battle of Ellendune. This victory altered the balance of power in England, raising the power of Wessex at the expense of Mercia. Four years later he would conquer Mercia, but in 830 he lost it to Wiglaf. Still, Egbert's power base was unrivaled in England during his lifetime, and in 829 he was proclaimed "Bretwalda," ruler of all Britain.

Answer 2

do you mean the British monarchy in general, or the house on Windsor?

The monarchy has been going in one way or another for over 1000 years.  The house of Windsor is basically a bunch of German impostors

Answer 3

Offa, king of Mercia may have started the consolidation of England, but he could not finish it. It was Athelstan, a Wessex king, who brought the whole of England under one ruler for the first time.  The current Royal family, though, trace their ancestry to William I, a Norman duke, who conquered England in 1066.

Answer 4

There have been kings in England for over 1000 years, but not always the same family. No-one made them King, they grabbed it and hung on to it by military force.

Answer 5

In legend, it was King Arthur, who took out the sword from the stone.

In reality, a guy named Offa, king of Mercia, conquered most of England and ruled it in A.D. 774
