List Of Canadian Monarchs
Listed here are the monarchs who reigned over Canada, starting with the Canada (New France), French colony of Canada, which subsequently became a The Canadas, British colony, followed by the British Dominion of Canada, and, finally, the present-day sovereign state of Canada. The date of the first claim by a monarch over Canada varies, with most sources giving the year as 1497, when John Cabot made landfall somewhere on the North American coast (likely either modern-day Newfoundland or Nova Scotia) and claimed the land for England on behalf of Henry VII of England, King Henry VII. However, some sources, instead, put this date at 1535, when the word ''Canada'' was first used to refer to the French colony of Canada, which was founded in the name of Francis I of France, King Francis I.
