of Great Britain, from this point the regnal numbering of the Monarchs has followed the
English sequence and this how the Monarchs have been known internationally. However,
in Scotland the regnal numbering continues using the Scottish sequence, thus the current
British Monarch is known worldwide as Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, but in
Scotland is referred to as Elizabeth I of the United Kingdom as the English Queen
Elizabeth I (1558-1603) was not Queen of Scotland. The regnal numbering was a source of
controversy early in the reign of Elizabeth II/I when new pillar boxes were installed in
Scotland bearing the royal cypher ‘EIIR’ prompting what became known as the “Pillar Box War”
which caused the royal cypher to be removed and not used in Scotland. The regnal numbering
in Scotland as follows (Gaelic names):
