  1. Sup buddy, well, first you need 2 no wat a monarchy is, it's like well, King's and Queens, in other words its a rich government.  The history of them are like:

    Kings and Queen of England 1603

    The history of the English Crown up to the Union of the Crowns in 1603 is long and eventful

    The concept of a single ruler unifying different tribes based in England developed in the eighth and ninth centuries in figures such as Offa and Alfred the Great, who began to create centralised systems of government.

    Following the Norman Conquest, the machinery of government developed further, producing long-lived national institutions including Parliament.

    The Middle Ages saw several fierce contests for the Crown, culminating in the Wars of the Roses, which lasted for nearly a century. The conflict was finally ended with the advent of the Tudors, the dynasty which produced some of England's most successful rulers and a flourishing cultural Renaissance.

    The end of the Tudor line with the death of the 'Virgin Queen' in 1603 brought about the Union of the Crowns with Scotland.

    Kings and Queens of scotland 1603

    The Scottish Crown has a long and complex history. From a number of local rulers governing separate territories and peoples, a single king emerged by the beginning of the twelfth century to govern most of what is today's Scotland.

    The thirteenth century was a time of instability for the Scottish Crown in the face of internal fighting and the Wars of Independence with England.

    A sense of nationhood and a stable monarchical succession began to develop from the fourteenth century onwards, culminating in the Stewart dynasty.

    In 1603 a member of this dynasty, King James VI, succeeded to the English Crown. The Union of the Crowns was followed by the Union of the Parliaments in 1707.

    Although a new Scottish Parliament now determines much of Scotland's legislation, the two Crowns remain united under a single Sovereign, the present Queen.

    Kings and Queens of The United kingdom 1603

    Until 1603 the English and Scottish Crowns were separate, although links between the two were always close - members of the two Royal families intermarried on many occasions. Following the Accession of King James VI of Scotland (I of England) to the English Throne, a single monarch reigned in the United Kingdom.

    The last four hundred years have seen many changes in the nature of the Monarchy in the United Kingdom. From the end of the 17th century, monarchs lost executive power and they increasingly became subject to Parliament, resulting in today's constitutional Monarchy.

  2. A monarchy, from the Greek "one to rule," is a form of government in which a monarch, usually a single person, is the head of state. In most monarchies, the monarch holds control and their position for life and passes the responsibilities and power of the position to their children or family when they die. The first states were mostly monarchies, as far as we can tell. They were ruled by kings or queens. The earliest monarchies that we know about are the ones in Sumer and Egypt. These both began around 3000 BC. But it was not only the early states which had kings and queens. After all there are still many countries which have kings and queens even today.

    Some other examples of places which were ruled by kings are Greece in the Late Bronze Age, as described in Homers' Iliad, the Etruscan cities in northern Italy, including Rome between about 700 and 500 BC, China in the Warring States period, the Early Medieval kingdoms of Western Europe and Africa like the Visigoths, the Vandals, the Franks, Ethiopia and Mali, and the later medieval kingdoms (both Christian and Islamic) of France, England, and Spain.

    People often think that in ancient and medieval times only men could rule. It is true that there have been many more men in power than women, but there have been women rulers too. There were women who ruled Egypt, like Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, and women who ruled the Byzantine Empire, like Irene, and women who ruled southern France, like Eleanor, and women who ruled Castile in Spain, like Isabelle, and women who ruled the kingdom of Kush in Africa, and the Empresses Lu and Wu Chao in China. Many other women held power without having the official title, often as regents for their sons or grandsons, like Agrippina and Julia Maesa in Rome, or Blanche of Castille in France.
