	I've tried to include all era's in European history, and make the questions as Pan-European as possible, but for some letters (q,x) it's not that easy, so suggestions are welcome!

	Can you accept Xanthippe?

	Good quiz, but I am an idiot for being unable to think of the Enlightenment. Seems so obvious now.

	In question H you should use the word dynasty instead of monarchy. Otherwise it's a good quiz.

	The Habsburgs were around until 1918.

	johnlk: I've chosen those dates because in that period the Habsburgers were at their strongest. Anyway, with the changing of the word monarchy to dynasty it should be right, since in 1780 the Habsburg lands came into the hands of the House of Lorraine.

	Great quiz, just a couple of problems. Historians now refute the idea of a feudal 'system', as practices with feudal characteristics varied so widely across different areas; but, if you want to keep that question, since the question itself says 'social system', perhaps you could accept 'feudal system' as well as 'feudalism'? And as for the name of 2 men who conquered Britain, William the Conqueror and William III didn't conquer Britain. The Conqueror only conquered England, definitely not the whole of Britain, and it's arguable whether or not William III even conquered England - he just kinda got handed the throne of the joint English-Scottish monarchy, and wasn't even the sole monarch.

	Yodageddon: I've done some research and added feudal system as an answer, but since "social system which existed in one form or another in a lot of european regions, but which exact structure is being contested by some historians, as is the correct use of the term itself" isn't such a clear hint, and 4 in 5 get the current hint, i'll just leave it like this. Secondly, i've changed Britain with England, because both Williams certainly conquered that. Whether or not William III conquered England or not is more about semantics.

	As for William III not being the sole monarch, if you believe that you've been taken in by Protestant propaganda. Nice to pretend that the English queen Mary had 'equal' powers with William to disguise the fact that Britain had been invaded by a foreign prince just for the sake of keeping the Catholics out.
