Queen Elizabeth II is not also "Queen Elizabeth I of Scotland". As per the Royal Titles Act of 1953, she is Queen Elizabeth II; any future monarchs with names matching previous Scottish or English monarchs will use a number one greater than the previous highest number... a future King James would simply be James VIII (disregarding the Old Pretender - and NOT James VIII and III).

So how come we had James II? By this reckoning he should have been James VII.

We had James II, cos he was around before the Royal Titles Act _1953_ 
Cheers!

I'm sure your arse would make a fine monarch, but she should at least by Elizabeth II of the Scots. I'm sure there is a load of pseudo nationalistic nonsense about the Scots monarch always being Bod of the Scots, whereas it was Bod of England, with its much more feudal system.

I think Bod would have made a great king, with Aunt Flo as Prime Minister and Albert the Frog as shady power behind the throne.
