Minor points: The queen is known as Elizabeth I now that here have been two Elizabeths ruling Britain; also accept "Franz Josef"? (Franz Josef Glacier was named by a German, after the emperor Franz Joseph)

Why should Habsburg work? That doesn't pinpoint it within a row of archdukes.

Mustafa Kemal should be accepted. Attaturk is a title (father of Turks). I also think that just "Bruce" or "the Bruce" are also acceptable.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure Harod the Great ruled UNDERNEATH the Roman empire. Wasn't he just a puppet king? Thanks for the quiz!

Puppet king is still a king (: Officially, he was an "ally and friend of the people of Rome", which in practice means that he was indeed a vassal, obliged to pay taxes and obey the Roman government whenever it wanted to interfere, and liable to be replaced if he ceased to please, but technically he was a sovereign monarch.

Interesting how Kublai Khan, who arguably ruled over a larger portion of humanity than any other person in history, is the least known.

Maybe because most people connect him with Mongolia and not so much with China?

It's a bit like asking "who lead greece between 98 and 117BC" and expect "Trajan" for an answer...

Still got it at the end...

Shouldn’t Fidel Castro’s reign in Cuba be from 1959 to 2008? And as a matter of fact, Kublai Khan only conquered the Song Dynasty in 1276.

This is a very well done quiz.

I've had a few answers wrong and I started blaming on the author, but after seeing the answers I realized they were correct. Not only that, those are also some really cool people, not the ones you get asked in every quiz. Very cool work
