I'm pretty good on naming them in order (I used to have them all memorised in a little jingle for quiz purposes, but I can now only remember it up to John - after Richard III I can work my way through them from actual knowledge but I need thinking time). Dates on the other hand I have to extrapolate from a few fixed points. I knew Elizabeth was on the throne at 1600, and the 1580s rang a little bell, which I've now remembered was the Spanish Armada (1588).
None of this comes from school though (except insofar as that's where I caught the quiz bug)- I didn't do History O Level, and we did the Stuarts not the Tudors.
