Note on the data. Reigns and royal houses are those of Ribbia's quiz on the English and British monarchs, which follows the Royal Household's list of Kings and Queens from 1066 (read on 3 October 2026), with Lancaster and York as branches of the Plantagenets and George V under Windsor. Every name is checked in code: the real ones are on that list and the others are not. Names used only by Scottish kings (James, Robert, David, Alexander) are left off the board.
