or if your German.....

The Year of Three Emperors (Dreikaiserjahr in German) refers to the year 1888.

On March 9, 1888, Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor, died. He was succeeded by his son, Friedrich III (Frederick III). However, Friedrich was already terminally ill with cancer, and died after only 99 days of rule, on June 15. Friedrich's son, Wilhelm II, then succeeded to the throne.

German schoolchildren learn the year in question with the mnemonic “drei Achten, drei Kaiser” ("three eights, three emperors").

My mate Wikipedia tells me all this.

Both answers would be correct according to this list:

Monarchs of Britian

Thanks again for the link to Monarchs of Britain, she has written both dates 1936 and 1553 as they both appear to be write :003:

Well I suppose somebody has to point out that there was no 'Britain' in 1553 so the year WE had 3 monarchs is 1936. Just like there is no Elizabeth II.

[Guest Cotter]

well i have to congratulate you lot cause i have not a clue  :clapping04:

[Alex MacLeod]

On the subject of monarchy there has never been a king or queen of Scotland. There was, however, kings and queens of Scots.

As for Lizzie I think her proper title is Queen Elizabeth 1st of Scots and 2nd of England

As for Lizzie I think her proper title is Queen Elizabeth 1st of Scots and 2nd of England

I've seen no evidence of that at all. A quick trawl of the internet confirms that she's known as Elizabeth II almost everywhere.

Anyway, it didn't stop them putting "ER II' on postboxes and naming ships after her though did it? They've only backtracked in recent years because people got up their noses, or blew up pillar boxes.

Next campaign: get the BBC to stop referring to 'The North' and 'The Northeast' when they mean 'the bit slightly past the middle' and 'the bit about halfway up the east coast'.
