Who is the longest-reigning monarch listed?

This question tests your ability to compare how long different monarchs stayed on the throne. The length of a reign is counted from when a monarch becomes sovereign to when they leave the throne. Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, about 64 years. That’s longer than Elizabeth I’s roughly 44–45 years, Henry II’s 35 years, and John’s 17 years. Because Victoria’s reign lasts the longest among those listed, she is the longest-reigning monarch.
