Bravo, you've spot it.
Now you just have to fill #5 - the medieval lady, and #8 (whose daughter-in-law is very much alive and kicking.
A hint:
When #8 married her husband, he was not yet the head of the former reigning house, but he became such when his father died.
That house was a kingdom but her father-in-law was never a king :-)
Hope this helped.
