Queen Elizabeth? Really how old do people think she is? Sheesh!

Her majesty has been around for quite a while, but not THAT long. Louis was satisfied with his new palace. I think William IV became king at an advanced age. Duke Snider was a great centerfielder for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, but that's not this guy, so it had to be Rudolf.

Second time for Elizabeth II. Easy answer since the other three were in England (2) and France (1) and lived after 1365.

Funny to have Qyeen Elizabeth 11 as a choice, I know she is older but NOT THAT OLD!!!

Howard Groopman You mean Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain is made up of three countries- Scotland, England and Wales. It is not one country, a misconception in America.
