Answers required for a school comp. THANKS.

Answer 1

Victoria (64 years), George III (60 years), Henry III (56 years): longest reigns.  Next: Edward III (50 years).  (Elizabeth II is actually the third longest-reigning monarch, at 56 years and six months so far; Henry III only reigned for 56 years and one month.  It seems therefore that she is being excluded from your list, and only dead monarchs are being included.)

Jane (nine days), Edward V (77 days), Edward VIII (325 days): shortest reigns.  Next: Richard III (two years)

Henry VI (nine months), Henry III (nine years), Edward VI (nine): youngest at age of accession.  Next: Richard II (ten)

Henry I (Matilda of Scotland, Adeliza of Louvain), John (Isabella of Gloucester (not considered a Queen), Isabella of Angouleme), Edward I (Eleanor of Castile, Margaret of France), Richard II (Anne of Bohemia, Isabella of France): a chronological list of kings who married more than once.  Next: Henry IV (Lady Mary de Bohun, Joan of Navarre).  (Note: Lady Mary de Bohun died in 1394, four years before Henry IV deposed Richard II and seized the throne for himself, and was therefore never Queen.)
