    Yes. Someone who became the ruler / reigning monarch of a country.

    So sorry it took so long - only just got home from work. Peter the Great is correct. He studied maritime technology in London and rented accomodation in Deptford. Apparently he led a very wild lifestyle whilst there - and one of his great pleasures was being pushed around at high speed in a wheelbarrow - hence the damage. Over to you - if you're still there.

    Appropriate this one. Which British monarch is of Polish descent?

    As she is related to all the other King's and Queens, then surely she must be of Polish descent as well, however far back she goes <whistle>

    As the question states 'British' then that excludes 'English' and 'Scottish' monarchs
