I should have known that it would come in handy later in life when I needed a Timeline topic, though. Ha! The English are so neat and tidy, Queen Elizabeth has four children, each of who/m has two children. Therefore she has eight grandchildren, four boys and four girls. Don't you love symmetry?
They are also fond of giving a lot of "Christian" names. All of the Queen's children have four given names. Her eldest and youngest sons gave their children four names, while her daughter and middle son were content with three each for their kids. Got all that? Good! I've put the number of names in parentheses by each title, just in case.
Today's Timeline will be to provide the name and birth year of the 12 people in question, using the Well provided (with 3 bogies). You'll also get extra points for figuring out any of their 'extra' names (surnames don't count).
Scoring: Birth year bullseye - 10 points (120 possible)
Close (+/- 2 years) - 4 points
Ballpark (+/- 5 years) - 2 points
First names: 5 points each (60 possible)
Add'l names: 3 points each (96 possible, 32 add'l names total)
Identifying bogies: 1 point each (3 possible)

For a whopping 299 points today! (I told you there were going to be some big points days coming up.) Please format as follows:
