It is England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. With the Act of Union 1707, the independent states of England and Scotland, having been in personal union since 1603, agreed to a political union as the Kingdom of Great Britain.

The Act of Union 1800 united the Kingdom of Great Britain with the Kingdom of Ireland, which had been gradually brought under English control between 1169 and 1691, to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Independence for the now Republic of Ireland in 1922 brought the partition of the island of Ireland, with six of the nine counties of the province of Ulster remaining within the UK, which then changed to the current name in 1927. Wales, under the control of English monarchs from the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284, became part of the Kingdom of England by the Laws in Wales Act 1535 but is normally considered to be a kingdom in its own right having its own legislature.

4 Kingdoms Of England

Before being part of the UK, both Wales and Scotland were independent kingdoms.

The Welsh lost to the English back in the 12th Century. Finally, in 1707, England and Scotland were unified as Great Britain, sharing a single Parliament at Westminster.

Ireland was invaded by the Anglo-Normans even much earlier than that.. centuries of civil war followed. Successive English kings sought to conquer Ireland.

But only in the 17th century, Ireland was ruled by Britain.

The legislative union of Great Britain and Ireland was completed on January 1, 1801, under the name of the United Kingdom

There are two Kingdoms in the United Kingdom, England and Scotland. Wales is a Principality and Northern Ireland is a province. The status of the Channel Islands is that they are Dependencies, although technically the United Kingdom belongs to them, since William the Conqueror ruled them before he came to England.
