There's a mnemonioc ....mnemnnoinc ... thing to help you remember the kings;
Willy, Willy, Harry, Ste,
Harry, Dick, John, Harry three,
One, two, three Neds, Richard two,
Henries four, five, six - then who?
Edwards four, five, Dick the bad,
Harries twain and Ned the lad,
Mary, Bessie, James the vain,
Charlie, Charlie, James again,
William & Mary, Anna Gloria,
Four Georges, William and Victoria,
Edward, George, then Ned the eighth
quickly goes and abdicate'th,
leaving George, then Liz the second,
and with Charlie next it's reckoned.
Of course this presumes English History to have started in 1066, which is Wrong and Bad, but don't get me started on that.
