Hebei–Chahar Political Council | 1935-1937 | In 1935, under Japanese pressure, China signed the He-Umezu Agreement, which forbade the Kuomintang (KMT) from conducting party operations in Hebei and effectively ended Chinese control of that province. In the same year, the Chin-Doihara Agreement was signed and vacated the KMT from Chahar. By the end of 1935, the Chinese central government had virtually vacated from North China. In its place, the Japanese-backed East Hebei Autonomous Council was established on November 24, and Prince Teh, a leader of the Mongols in the provinces of what is now Inner Mongolia, was striving to set up an autonomous Mongolian Government there.
Kenji Doihara then tried to persuade General Song to set up an autonomous government in the Hebei - Chahar region. Resulting protests by Chinese citizens gave Japan the excuse to increase their garrison in the Tianjin area. To prevent the forcible establishment of a Japanese puppet state, Song Zheyuan established the Hebei–Chahar Political Council on 18th December 1935, controlling the remainder of Hebei and Chahar provinces. Although the Hebei–Chahar Political Council rendered lip service to the Japanese effort to secure the secession of the five provinces of North China (Shandong, Hebei, Shanxi, Chahar, and Suiyuan) it made no vital concessions, the Chinese government still remained in control through the council. It was officially dissolved on 20th August 1937, two weeks after the fall of Beiping. | |
Suiyuan Mongol Council | 1936 | Based out of Guisui (Hohhot), it was under the control of Fu Zuoyi, and was also advised by Yan Xishan.

Kingdom of the Danes | 1st millennium BC-c. 936 | Part of Denmark | |
Kingdom of Svear | 98-c. 970 | Part of Sweden | |
Kingdom of Northumbria | 654-867 | Part of the United Kingdom | Early medieval Anglo-Saxon kingdom in what is now Northern England and southeast Scotland. Ceased to be an independent kingdom in the mid-tenth century when it was conquered by the Danes |
Kingdom of Galloway | 800s-1110s | Suibne mac Cináeda (d.1034) is the first recorded king of the Gall-ghàidhil, the people of Galloway, however it is estimated the kingdom formed sometime during the mid-9th century. In the early 12th century, David I of Scotland made efforts to bring Galloway under Scottish control. He appointed Norman nobles, such as Fergus of Galloway, as rulers of the region. Over time, Galloway's status as an independent kingdom waned, and it became a Lordship. | |
Kingdom of Alba | 843-1286 | The Kingdom of Scotland between it's founding by Kenneth I in 834 and the death of Alexander III in 1286. The latter's death led indirectly to an invasion of Scotland by Edward I of England in 1296 and the First War of Scottish Independence. | |
Kingdom of the Isles[9] | 849-1164 | Part of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man | Kingdom under Norwegian suzerainty. An invasion by Magnus Barefoot in the late 11th century resulted in a brief period of direct Norwegian rule over the kingdom, but soon the descendants of Godred Crovan re-asserted a further period of largely independent overlordship. This came to an end with the emergence of Somerled, on whose death in 1164 the kingdom was split in two. |
Danelaw[at] | 865-954 | Part of the United Kingdom | The part of England in which the laws of the Danes held sway and dominated those of the Anglo-Saxons. The Danelaw contrasts with the West Saxon law and the Mercian law. The first recorded term to describe the polity was Dena lage, first being used in the early 11th century, with Danelaw being used at a later time. |
Kingdom of Northumbria | 867-954 | The Kingdom of Northumbria following its defeat by the Danes. In 954, the kingdom was fully absorbed into England. The terms Kingdom of York and Kingdom of Jórvík have been widely used by historians to describe the polity to distinguish it from the traditional Kingdom of Northumbria. | |
Kingdom of Norway | 872-1397 | Part of Norway, Sweden, Russia, Iceland, Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom | Constituent of the North Sea Empire (1013-1014; 1028-1035; 1040-1042) |

This ephemeral Norse-ruled empire was a thalassocracy, its components only connected by and dependent upon the sea. The term North Sea Empire was coined by historians at the beginning of the 20th century, with the union historically being referred to by its individual parts: the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway, and England. |
Kingdom of England | 1042-1206 | Part of the United Kingdom | The Danish claim to the English throne was not renounced with the permanent collapse of the North Sea Empire, and was revived until as late as the 13th century. The Danes had as late as 1206 still not abandoned their hopes of reclaiming England, if Lambert of Ardres is to be believed. |
Kingdom of England | 1066-1649; 1660-1707 | Under personal union with the Duchy of Normandy from 1066-1087, 1106-1144, 1154-1204/1259.

Formally ceased to exist with the commencement of the Acts of Union 1707. | |
Lordship of Galloway | 1110s-1234 | Despite Galloway's transition from kingdom to lordship, the Fergusan Dynasty continued until 1234 and the Laws of Galloway remained in force until 1426. It is thought that these laws originally derived their authority from the kings of Galloway. | |
Kingdom of England | 1138-1153 | English forces loyal to Empress Matilda and Henry Plantagenet during the Anarchy. | |
Our kingdom and everything subject to our rule whatever it may be | 1154-1214 | Part of the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Guernsey, and Jersey | As far as historians know, there was no contemporary term for the region under Angevin control; however, descriptions such as our kingdom and everything subject to our rule whatever it may be and the whole of the kingdom which had belonged to his father were used. The term Angevin Empire was coined by Kate Norgate in her 1887 publication, England under the Angevin Kings. |
Principality of Powys Fadog | 1160-1277 | Part of the United Kingdom | The realm was the northern portion of the former Kingdom of Powys upon its split in 1160.

Principality of Powys Wenwynwyn | 1160-1283 | The realm was the southern portion of the former Kingdom of Powys upon its split in 1160.

The Principality was formally founded by Llywelyn the Great who gathered other Welsh leaders at the Council of Aberdyfi. The agreement was later recognised by the 1218 Treaty of Worcester between Llywelyn the Great of Wales and Henry III of England. | |
Kingdom of England | 1216-1217 | On 2 June 1216, Louis VIII of France was proclaimed "King of England" by rebellious barons in London, though never crowned. He soon seized half the English kingdom but was eventually defeated. | |
Kingdom of England[11] | 1264-1267 | Rebellion of the Baronial Council, which had been formed by the Provisions of Oxford, causing the Second Barons' War. A rival parliament was formally assembled by Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester on 20 January 1265.

The last rebel forces would surrender in the Summer of 1267 on the Isle of Ely. | |
Kingdom of Mann | 1265-1504 | Part of the Isle of Man | Ruled directly by the Kings of Scotland from 1265-1290, 1293-1296, 1313-1317, and 1328-1333. Ruled directly by the Kings of England from 1290-1293, 1296-1313, and 1317-1328. On 9 August 1333, Edward III renounced all royal claims over the Isle of Man, and recognised it as an independent kingdom under its then king, William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury. Placed under English suzerainty in 1399 by the right of conquest on the decree of Henry IV. |
Further Austria | 1278-1805 | Part of Austria, Germany, France, and Switzerland | Territory of the Habsburg monarchy after 1282 |
Habsburg dynasty | 1282-1918 | List of Habsburg rulers | |
Principality of Wales | 1283-1542 | Part of the United Kingdom | Following the conquest of Wales by Edward I of England of 1277 to 1283, those parts of Wales retained under the direct control of the English crown, principally in the north and west of the country, were re-constituted as a new Principality of Wales and ruled either by the monarch or the monarch's heir though not formally incorporated into the Kingdom of England. |
Lordship of Denbigh | 1284-1536 | Created by Edward I for the Earl of Lincoln. As a marcher lordship, Denbigh was not a part of the Kingdom of England and was a de facto independent territory subject to feudal allegiance to the Crown. Although it became merged with the crown in 1461, it retained its identity as a Lordship outside of the Kingdom of England until it was effectively incorporated into the kingdom by the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. Although the lordship still technically exists, with the King as its holder, its remaining lands, chiefly common land (for example, on Denbigh Moors), are vested in the Crown Estate. | |
Kingdom of Scotland | 1286-1652/1654; 1660-1707 | Unrecognized by the Kingdom of England from 1290 to 1328 and 1332 to 1357, which was reinforced by the Papal States from 1306 to 1320 until the Declaration of Arbroath was proclaimed.

The proclamation of the Tender of Union on 4 February 1652 regularised the de facto annexation of Scotland by the Commonwealth of England. De jure annexed by the Ordinance for uniting Scotland into one Commonwealth with England, issued by the Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell on 12 April 1654. Formally ceased to exist with the commencement of the Acts of Union 1707. | |
Principality of Wales | 1294-1295 | National revolt led by Madog ap Llywelyn in response to the actions of new royal administrators in north and west Wales and the imposition of taxes such as that levied on one-fifteenth of all movables. | |
Kingdom of France | 1340-1360; 1369-1801 | Part of France | From the 1340s to the 19th century the kings and queens of England (and later Great Britain) claimed the throne of France. The claim dates from Edward III, who claimed the French throne in 1340 as the sororal nephew of the last direct Capetian, Charles IV. The claim was temporarily revoked by the terms of the Treaty of Brétigny. The enforcement of the claim was briefly successful in the early 1420s under Henry V and Henry VI. Served as a constituent of the Dual monarchy of England and France. Ended with the Acts of Union 1800 on 1 January 1801, by which time France no longer had any monarch, having become a republic. |

Principality of Wales | 1400-1415 | Part of the United Kingdom | Rebellion led by Owain Glyndŵr against the Kingdom of England during the Late Middle Ages in Wales. During the rebellion's height between 1403 and 1406, Owain exercised control over the majority of Wales after capturing several of the most powerful English castles in the country and formed a national parliament at Machynlleth. |
Dual monarchy of England and France | 1422-1453 | Part of the United Kingdom and France | Existed during the latter phase of the Hundred Years' War when Charles VII of France and Henry VI of England disputed the succession to the throne of France.

In practical terms, King Henry's claim to de jure sovereignty and legitimacy as king of France was only recognised in the English and allied-controlled territories of France which were under the domination of his French regency council, while the Dauphin ruled as King of France in part of the realm south of the river Loire. The dual monarchy came to an end with the capture of Bordeaux by Charles VII's forces on 19 October 1453 following their final victory at the Battle of Castillon, thus bringing the Hundred Years' War to a conclusion. |
