Would have liked more leeway in acceptable answers, as I often knew the woman being described but could not find the correct title/full name the quiz writer wanted! (eg. Alexandra Romanov) Or sometimes let last names count for full names as they do in numerous other quizzes!
More fun quizzes please!
Also, I know that the reason "Anne" is not accepted for "Queen Anne" is that there are other women called Anne, but "Victoria" is accepted for Queen Victoria and "Elizabeth I" is accepted for Queen Elizabeth I, and "Isabella" is accepted for Queen Isabella, so when it did not accept Anne, I thought I was wrong...
