Kingdom of England
The Kingdom of England emerged when Æthelstan united the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in 927. After the Norman Conquest of 1066 it developed institutions such as Parliament and the common law, and from 1603 it shared its monarch with Scotland. The Acts of Union of 1707 merged it into the Kingdom of Great Britain.
