Oh, boy! Can't believe I missed this one... After the six I knew it was mostly matching up name stereotypes. I can, however, name the entire Plantagenet Dynasty (hint: It was mostly Edwards and Richards)

Match each current king in the first list to the correct country in the second list.

Three points each.

Please list the King first.

Monarchs:

King Abdullah II

Jordan

I can't remember who came before Lisa, but I think his mom was British. Apparently Hussein enjoyed dating 90 Day Fiance style...

King Carl XVI Gustaf

Sweden

FFF: The Kings of Sweden are actually French, descendants of Napoleon's General JP Bernadotte and his wife Desiree Clary (Napoleon's fiance when he was just some refugee from Corsica)

King Charles III

UK

King Felipe VI

Spain

King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa

Bahrain

Probably no relation to Wiz....

King Harald V

King Salman

Saudi Arabia

King Tupou VI

Netherlands


Countries:







Three points each:
Bonus 1: Which of the above monarchs has been king the longest?

Carl is older than fuck, so probably him

Bonus 2: Which of the above monarchs has been king the shortest?

Charles is older than fuck, but his mom was older than that so probably him
