No way! I just made this quiz about Queen-Consorts, albiet only going back to William the Conquerer and made of a different format, a few days ago before I found this: https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/1658671/english-consorts-by-portrait

Well, I got every consort before William the Conquerer, though I did spend about 5 minutes trying out different spelling combinations for the Hanvorian consorts, lol! I got some of the "dark ages" queens simply by guessing - I remember a lot of them were named Ælfthryth, Aelfgifu or Ealdgyth, so I just matched those names with some of the English kingdoms like Mercia, Wessex, Kent, etc. I can't believe I forgot Siegrid the Haughty though... she's one of the only queen's from that era who I actually remember reading about, besides Emma of Normandy.

Anyways, nice, challenging quiz! :)
