	You need to require answers to be given in order. It's easy to get all the answers by naming all the English monarchs.

	@Aaron_Kashtan: I hesitated over that, but I've changed it now. I hope ten minutes is still the appropriate amount of time.

	Don't forget to put numbers on your Edwards! D: Please accept alternate spellings of Sweyn (Sven etc.), and add a note to the effect that this starts before William and that some monarchs appear more than once. I know it eventually becomes obvious what with Ethelred and Richard, but it always helps. Having Charles II as "The Merry Monarch" might help - I missed it because I'm used to seeing it that way. Special love for including Seamus an Chaca.

	@RebeccaAMax: You make a good point about accepting the alternate spellings and that I should make a note that there are pre-William I monarchs on here. And I'll change Charles II, as you suggested. The other issue--including the numbers--is problematic because certain Edwards (the Martyr, the Confessor) are not traditionally numbered and, if I were to number them, could get confused with the traditionally numbered Edwards (that is, those post-Conquest). I thought the lesser of the two evils was to leave them unnumbered.

	You're right; I went through this fairly quickly and, noticing at the end that there were a lot of Edwards, forgot that it was from that lot.

	Sweyn shouldn't be numbered, as there was never another Sweyn as a monarch in Britain. The two Edmunds usually aren't numbered either. Actually, with the pre-conquest English kings, numbering hardly ever seemed to be used.
