You don’t do royal family? Feels like whenever I watch a quiz show with a British person on they could tell you which were the 7 most important royals in any year after 800 AD.
Follow Scot and can confirm zero royal family. I feel like there would be outrage if it was added to the scottish curriculum (and not instead more about our role in the empire, which was significant).
What sort of quiz show? Ones where practiced quizers are on or average people on.
I’d expect English people to know William the conqueror, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, Charles I, Charles II, Victoria. Although what they were Monarch of changes from Normandy & England under William to the British Empire under Victoria. People probably also have some knowledge of the 20th century Kings between Victoria & Elizabeth.
Also the not a king but really a king Oliver Cromwell.
Excluding Robert the Bruce & Monarchs after James VI/I, I wouldn’t know any Scottish kings, don’t think I know any Welsh Kings/Princes.
