About this quiz
Lancaster and York were rival branches of the Plantagenets in the Wars of the Roses; they are counted here as houses of their own, as is usual.
- The House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha had one monarch, Edward VII; George V renamed it Windsor in 1917.
- The Tudors came to the throne in 1485 and the Stuarts in 1603.

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. A house's year is the start of the first reign the list gives under it.
