How much do you know about ruling houses and dynasties?

Ran across this little quiz this morning on my favorite puzzle site. Can you match the dynasties to the countries?

Free Match Quiz: Houses and Dynasties

I actually got them all right, first try. That's what a lifetime of reading historical fiction will do for one. :)

Perfect 10...I'd have to hang my head in shame on the royalty forum I moderate and write content for if my score was anything less!

I'm no expert on royal dynasties and I got them all right.... so I have to conclude that this was a pretty easy quiz! :o
