Royal Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Hanover, and Brunswick (1801–1816)

Quarterly: 1st & 4th, Plantagenet (England); 2nd, Stuart (Scotland); 3rd, Ireland; overall an inescutcheon of the Elector of Hanover.

The Acts of Union 1800 united the Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland. At the same time, King George III abandoned his ancestors' ancient claim to the French throne (since the French monarchy had been deposed). The Royal Arms changed, with England now occupying the first and fourth quarters, Scotland the second, Ireland the third. The Royal Arms used in Scotland has Scotland occupying the first and fourth quarters, England the second, Ireland the third. For the Electorate of Hanover, there is an inescutcheon surmounted by the electoral bonnet. The Arms of Hanover were similar, but lacked the electoral bonnet.
