	There was an Ivan the Great before there was an Ivan the Terrible. I've learned something today. Thanks. Gutted I missed Meiji. Could only think of Tokugawa Ieyasu - just a few centuries too early! Oh well. Hard quiz.

	Good stuff, and hard, but the use of ordinals is rather inconsistent. The first six answers should all have ordinals, and when they weren't needed, I assumed they would never be needed. Is it just because otherwise we would get more than one answer at a time? Also, if you intended to put them in chronological order, you seem to have switched Hawaii and the Timurids. Lastly, "Bhumibol" should probably be acceptable for the current Thai king (his regnal name didn't even occur to me...Thailand is in the news so much lately and I don't think they ever call him that).
