: Another kind of quiz this time. This is
: probably way too easy - and once you start
: unravelling the clues, one answer will lead
: on the next...
:
: Find the correct people, titles and years:
:
: I (1) was the head of a sovereign state.
: During my reign, my own father-in-law (2)
: became my “superior”, even though
: technically I remained a sovereign. I died
: in the same year (3) as my first cousin (4),
: who was a Queen. My first predecessor on my
: throne was my grandfather (5) - who,
: curiously, was also my
: great-great-grandfather. His heir (6), who
: was my uncle as well as my
: great-grandfather, died in an accident.
:
: My grandmother (7) was also my first cousin.
: She died the year I was born (8). My
: daughter (9) held the same position (10) as
: her great-grandmother (7 above) had once
: held.
:
: Another person who died in the same year as
: me and my cousin (4 above) was the Head of
: State (11) of my mother’s (12) native
: country. His son (13) was my son-in-law. My
: son-in-law’s first cousin (14) became my
: daughter-in-law.
