Great britain and ireland Encyclopedia Britannica

GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND, The United Kingdom of, has been since January 1, 1801, the official title of the political unity composed of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

Rex” appeared on his coins. The proclamation declared that Great Britain was “the true and ancient name which God and time have imposed upon this lie, extant and received in histories, in all mappes and cartes wherein this ile is ...
