Technically, TrongpaiExpat is correct as he stated the case. The methods of torture, etc, were imported from England but they were carried out by British citizens. James VI of Scotland became James I of England on 24 March 1603 making a Union of the Crowns and he declared himself King of Great Britain soon after his succession to the English throne. Although the Act of Union was not passed by Parliament until 1707 this was technically a Union only of the Parliaments, not the countries.Quote:
