| If you're going by Wikipedia for Stanislaus II, then he was only declared deposed by a faction (the Bar Confederation), which was later defeated, and he was restored to power (paltry as it was). Certainly, Polish coins still carried his portrait until the end of independence. Meanwhile, with Constantine II of Greece, he fled the country in 1967 after attempting to overthrow the ruling junta (the abolition of the monarchy in 1973 only confirmed the obvious), so if de facto loss of power is what's important then you should change his last year to 1967. Finally, for James VI and I, Scotland did not lose its independence when James became King of England; it still had its own parliament with full powers, coinage, laws, etc. and could follow its own foreign policy (as with the Darien scheme). Scots did not become citizens of England. All that happened was the King was the same for both countries; one did not absorb the other (like today Elizabeth II is Queen of Canada and Queen of the UK, or like how Charles V of Austria was also Charles I King of Spain). Scotland only lost de jure independence with the Act of Union in 1707. |
