What's wrong with the pre-Norman kings, eh?

They're harder to remember, because people pay less attention to them in school :) (But have better names, like "Sven Forkbeard" and "Edward the Confessor" rather than "Teddy" and "Lackland" :)) I'd certainly like to know them too. Also, all these apparently really are descended from each other, so it's a nice stopping point.

I bet you don't even have Louis.

Ooh, that's great. Are the footnotes in the canonical order of symbols? :)

No, indeed, I missed him completely. I was generally content to have a general outline, and so long as I had an unbroken succession of at least one king covering any period, I didn't worry yet if there were fractal interruptions (aka "wars of the roses" :)). For instance, so long as I remembered where it was, I didn't worry if I got one, two or no Cromwells. Nor how many I got before William I. Nor if I counted Henry VI only once, although he was briefly reinstated by Warwick the Kingmaker during the reign on Edward IV.
