Some of the smarty smarts in blue an dgreen happened to notice the name "Bourbon " in the first quiz and wondered what on earth that was. (No, no! it doesn't mean bon bon.) It is the surname of Louis XIV's family, in other words Louis' big happy family with the ancestral grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, wife, sons ... etc. down the generations and here is a slideshow of them. Aren't they royally cute? lol
Anyways, enjoy, and if anyone can look up the names of all the rulers of France from that family, guess what? 100 marks bonus!
