Good quiz. Thank you for your time and effort in devising it.

Nice to see that Henry the Young King has been included.

Edwards V and VIII were never crowned.

Philip II of Spain was jure uxoris king between 1554 and 1558 as husband

of Mary I.

Thoroughly enjoyed the quiz. Many thanks 🙏

Fun quiz, somehow got Aethelbert but missed Henry III lol. Also please accept "Aethelstan" and "Forkbeard" as type-ins. Probably "Grey" too, dunno why you only have her first name
