14 its the order of royal houses of England Norman, Angevin, Plantagenet, Lancaster, York, Tudor, Stuart, Orange, Hanover, Saxe-Coburg, Windsor A bit of overkill there, but all the same 2pts as a top answer - doubled !! I'd cut out Angevin as a sub-branch of Plantagenet, Orange as a sub-branch of Stuart and Saxe-Coburg as a sub-branch of Hanover, then the mnemonic reads correctly. With apologies to Henry II, William III and Edward VII.
And we might still be under rule of a German House were it not for George V decreeing on June 19, 1917 that the royal surname was changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor (due of course to prevailing feelings at the time)
4pts to Gandalf.

19) correct for 1.5pts, doubled. More accurately it is "I roll" in Latin, conjugated from "volvere". The opposite to Vauxhall's Nova (which means "doesn't go" in Spanish) 
3pts to Sav.
