Except they wouldn’t as the UK wouldn’t exist for another quarter of a century yet.
The term “United Kingdom” was in informal use at this time, both domestically and abroad, ever since the 1707 Acts of Union.
Oooh I read about the 1707 Acts of Union!
I forgot all the details, but I read it
Wasn’t there a first attempt to unite Scotland and Britain in the early 1500s or something?
Kind of - a few monarchs ruled over Scotland and England, but the crowns were separate. Fairly common - known as a personal union.
The 1707 Acts of Union made it so that the monarch over one country was automatically monarch over the other, so there would never be a ‘personal’ union again - the two kingdoms themselves were in union.
A united kingdom, if you will :p
