European Monarchs
Here is a short study guide
for the quiz on Friday. You must know
these monarchs in order and be able to match them with their most important
accomplishments. I will choose obvious
things that are very important for the matching quiz. If you make a study guide using your notes by
listing 2-3 things each king or queen did that would be an excellent idea and
very helpful for the quiz on Friday. The
quiz will have the names of the kings and queens and the events like todays
quiz did.
