Some?
Edit: it's just wrong is what people object to. She was the first Elizabeth of the country. Same thing for James VI (not James I which was a different dude).
Seemingly the government agreed because mailboxes in Scotland don't have EIIR : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_Box_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_Box_War
- chrisbaker98 4y agoJames isn't a good example because he was and still is commonly referred to as "James VI and I". I learnt that in primary school. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_VI_and_I https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_VI_and_I Likewise for his son, James VII and II. AFAIK Elizabeth is the only post-Union monarch who took an "England only" regnal number that didn't gel with Scottish history.
- chrisbaker98 4y agoToo late to edit but I realised there's another one: William "IV" was only the third William to rule Scotland. I guess we're in for another round of this when Charles dies and William the "fifth" takes the throne, although at the rate we're going Scotland might be a republic by then.
