1. What year did William I become King of England?

Answer: 1066

William ruled from 1066-1087, after which his son, also called William, succeeded him. He invaded and won the famous Battle of Hastings and was crowned at Westminster on Christmas Day, 1066.
2. In what year did William's son, William II, die?

Answer: 1100

WIlliam took over from his father, and lasted just 13 years as king. The cause of William II's death while hunting remains a mystery surrounded by suspicion.
3. Who was king in 1300?

Answer: Edward I

Edward I was king from 1272-1307. He is noted for having called the first official parliament, in 1295. He succeeded Henry III who was king for 52 years, a long reign by the standards of the time.
4. How many years was Henry IV king for?

Answer: 14

Henry was king from 1399-1413. His son, Henry V (of Agincourt fame) succeeded him. The later years of Henry's reign were marked by serious health problems, and he finally died in 1413.

Answer: Tudor

The Tudor dynasty lasted from 1485-1603, when Elizabeth I died childless. Henry VII became king when he defeated Richard III in the Battle of Bosworth.
6. What year did Edward VI become king?

Answer: 1547

Edward was just 9 when he became king, and died just 6 years later, at the very young age of 15, from what was probably a combination of tuberculosis and the measles.
7. What year did James I of England and James VI of Scotland die?

Answer: 1625

The first of the Stuart kings of England, James died in 1625 when his son Charles succeeded him. James I is well known for surviving the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and for the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. His reign also saw the first serious clashes between King and Parliament, which became unmanageable in the reign of his son.

Answer: 33

A run of four George's reigned, from 1714-1830. This includes George II's reign from 1727-1760.

Answer: 63

She ruled for a whopping 63 years, from 20 June 1837 till 22 January 1901. Because she lived so long, her son Edward was 59 when he became king. He died 9 years later.
