Considering that all answers are supposed to begin with "A", you are insisting on several prefixes - e.g. "St". Please correct.

Thanks. It's a good quiz. Neither Eleanor nor Catherine begin with an "A". I tried both Aquitaine and Aragon and they didn't work. Could you allow those answers?

Eleanor is the correct spelling for Eleanor of Aquitaine and not Elenor. This should be fixed.
