The period from August 1718 to January 1796 is known as the English Occupation. The title is slightly misleading as the State of England no longer existed. The United Kingdom of England and Scotland (UK-ES) was the legal name of the major Kingdom of the British Isles, with its kings claiming and using the titles, King of Ireland and King of Britain. With the conquest of Wales, George I of UK-ES began using the title, King of the Britons (a title previously claimed by the Welsh Kings) and indeed George's official title was "George, by the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of England & Scotland, King of Ireland, Wales and France, Emperor of the British Isles, Defender of the Faith, etc".
