I tried guessing cromwell I was pretty surprised he wasn't there.
Technically if you want the kings of aengland you should have elfred and his line as well.
After the saxons were vanqiushed in 1066 it became another satellite of the normans.
Re: Can You Name the Monarchs of England/France?
1066 was the last time England was conquered by a Foreign power. Pretty impressive, considering all the wars.

Re: Can You Name the Monarchs of England/France?
If you said 1689, I might have been more inclined to agree.1603 doesn't count?

Re: Can You Name the Monarchs of England/France?
that's technically not an invasion; it just so happened that the successor wasn't English, but scottish.1603 doesn't count?
but yeah, I otherwise agree.

As much as I like history, I could only name a handful of these crowned tyrants. Apart from the ones who got their heads cut, I don't remember the reign of many monarchs.
Re: Can You Name the Monarchs of England/France?
With the English/British monarchs, I got 39/41.
I'm a little disgusted with myself that I didn't get them all, especially since the ones I blanked out on were Anne and William IV. You'd think I'd remember the small handful of ruling queens, as well as who Victoria's predecessor was.
With the French, I got 44/52. I missed Carloman II, Odo (of Paris), Rudolph, Lothair, Hugh Capet, Francis I, Francis II, and Louis-Philippe I.
Still, I'm rather (pleasantly) surprised I knew as many as I did. I'm admittedly less a student of French history than that of their cross-channel neighbors, and was honestly expecting to only get maybe two-thirds of them correct. I get particularly tripped up during both the earlier and later eras of the French dynasties.
