possibly allow more variant spelling for Anglo-Saxons especially, i.e. allowing AE for some of them, otherwise great quiz.

Apart from alternative correct spellings for Anglo Saxons, you should smooth out the inconsistencies re nicknames: Lionheart you allow, but Richard I you don't, the Unready you allow, but Ethelred II you don't, etc.. If Lady Jane Grey is allowed then she's a queen, not a lady.

And 'Sweyn' is more often Sven or Swayne or Svein etc.. And Harthecnut?
