What kind of crown do you want?

Henry VIII!

He might be the most famous king in British history - or should that be infamous??? Still, it's not necessarily a bad result to get! You can say a lot abotu Henry VIII, but you can't say he wasn't a game-changer. Some of the most significant changes in British history came from ol' Henry, particularly the establishment of the Chruch of England. You're also a bit of a game changer, and you love your comforts - maybe not to the same extent as Henry, though!

Charles II!

Charles II had a reputation as a party boy, and the nickname of "the merry monarch" - but there was a bit more to him than that! Most notably, he was a big supporter of the sciences, and he founded the Royal Society and helped to start the Royal Observatory! Just like him, you're a fun person but you do have a serious side!

George III!

George III was best known as the king who presided over the loss of the American colonies (oops) and who went a bit mad at the end of his reign, but there was more to him than that! He had a very long reign, and he was a patron of the arts and sciences, plus he was a bit of a trend-setter - did you know he was the one who made going to the seaside fashionable? You're also a jack-of-all-trades, and in touch with your interests!

William the Conqueror!

Just like the guy who started it all, you're a leader and a trendsetter! William introduced a bunch of stuff to England, like the census The Domesday Book, the feudal system, and some cool architecture. Historians have a lot of opinions about him, but you can't deny he changed things up! You'd love to be rememebered as someone who made a difference, just like William.
