Queen Victoria was the first Empress of India.QV was the second reigning Queen of Great Britain. She was the Fourth monarch in the 19th Century.I'm clutching at straws!

:
: We are in the 21st century aren't we ?
:
: I really should not be cheeky, but this quiz
: has been stressful for me too !
:
: I am planning a grand prize which all
: participants can share, deservedly.
:
: The century for this king ? (Rustle of
: books.)
:
: 19th century.

: I'm still lurking but Nellie you have set a
: toughie! Which century are we in?
:

:
: That sort of thing? Yes.
:
: Damian, I am so glad you are still hanging
: in on this one.
: More clues are quite OK.
:
: Remember two earlier clues -
:
: A king.
:
: Mostly British.
:

: So,would I be right in thinking that we are
: looking for a British monarch who has
: various different royal titles eg. Nellie I
: in England,II in Scotland,III in Wales,IV in
: Ireland,that sort of thing?
:
: Sorry for asking for more clues.I'm finding
: this a bit of a toughie!
:

:
: I should have also said -
:
: We know this king by only one of those
: numbers, of course.
:
: However, the other three numbers can apply.
:
:
: --Previous Message--
:
: Sorry, Charles, but no. The fifth clue
: refers to the wife of a king.
:
: I must now clear up the matter.
:
: Originally, I was going to call it "Who
: am I ?" with just the first four clues.
:
: Thinking that would be too easy, I added the
: spouse - to blur the number of persons in
: the puzzle.
: That blurring was far far too successful I
: now reaiize.
:
: Thank you for persevering !!
:
: I hope you can now find the king, and his
: queen.

:
: Could the last part of the question refer to
: someone who married them in the role of
: clergyman for instance? I'm thinking The
: Archbishop of Canterbury?
:
:
: --Previous Message--
:
: I feel a further hint is needed.
:
: Think "individual king".
:
:
: --Previous Message--
:
: Oh - this is tricky.
:
: You are on the right track, Damian, but need
: to read my previous message just a teeny
: weeny bit more carefully.
:
:
: --Previous Message--
: So am I right in thinking that I -IV are
: monarchs,Nellie?
:
:
:
: --Previous Message--
:
: Thank you Ken.
: I had no idea that there really could be a
: number of answers.
:
: Roman numerals were used because that is the
: conventional way to identify an individual
: king rather than a consort.
:
: So, let's see what else can be found to fit.
:
: This quiz is mostly British.
:

: Needs to be limited somewhat. Lots of
: possible answers--for instance:
: I=Elisabeth of Wurttemberg.
: II=Maria Teresa of Bourbon-Naples.
: III=Maria Beatrice of Modena.
: IV=Caroline [orginally Charlotte] of
: Bavaria, who all married Emperor Franz I of
: Austria.
:
