Not bad but you should definitely accept more spellings. Loyola was frustrating. I tried Loyola, de Loyola, Ignatius of Loyola, all should have worked ! Same for Boudica, it must be the only spelling that I didn't try... And what about Mary Stuart/Mary I of Scotland? And Pocahontas?

Just a note to say that Victoria is just known as Victoria as there haven't been any other monarchs with the name before or since. Same goes for Mary Queen of Scots as she was the only queen of that country with that name. :-)

I would have got all of these right if it weren't for the very poor spelling - shame.

It's Lancelot, not Launcelot. Victoria, not Victoria I. Marc Antony, not Mark Anthony.
