Very enjoyable quiz and not too many others like it!

One suggestion, could you please accept 'Capet' for Capetian and 'Hohenstaufen' for Staufen as alternate names. Maybe I'm missing something and they are in fact different but otherwise it would be appreciated,

Thank you! :)

Capet wasn't working for me. Also, is Karling possible for Carolingian?
