Kings of England, Kings of Scots, and Lords of Ireland (joint reign 1307-30, 1337-??)
(1307-1330) Edward II of England (House of Plantagenet) and (1286-1337) Margaret I of Scotland (House of Dunkeld-Norway) [1] [1] In 1290, Edward, the Prince of Wales and eldest son of Edward I of England, wed Margaret, the Maid of Norway, Queen of Scots since 1286. Edward I of England acted as regent for Margaret in Scotland until 1300, when she turned 18. Edward I died on April 9, 1307, while crushing a rebellion in York, and his son ascended to the English throne, thus beginning the joint reign. Edward and Margaret reigned as joint sovereigns over the entirety of Great Britain, by right of their rule over their respective kingdoms. They were both forceful and intelligent. They had four children, including Edward, who would succeed both to their thrones upon their deaths, thus crafting a personal union between England and Scotland.
