Tough one to work through all the Monarchs.

I'm thinking only four seem to be Shakespeare history plays? So is Henry IV, Henry V, Henry VI, Henry VIII a group?

Correct! Good spot.

Remaining clues:

Henry VII, Quick, Glove, George I
Make, Keep, Dumber, Man
Henry II, Word, James I, Now

OK - not sure about his, but were the following kings the first of their respective English/British dynasties?

Henry II - Plantagenet
Henry VII - Tudor
James I - Stuart
George I - Hanoverian

I hate a couple of these phrases, so happy to be wrong on this one, but is there an '...up'? It would work for Make, Keep, Word, Man.

Bingo! Great work OFD.

So that leaves:

Quick, Glove, Make, Keep,
Dumber, Man, Word, Now


One is a word one. And one is a bit niche and may require a clue. :D

Haha, the poisson rouge! Although that does kind of work it's not what I intended and it stops the last group from working. :D

Is the 'niche' one the last words of Smiths songs?

I'll need help if it is as I'm only basing it on How Soon Is Now (or Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now) and This Charming Man? But I'm guessing / hoping some of the more trickier words for a 'word' one might work better for a song title connection?
