I was the same way, and then I bought and read this book, which I highly recommend: https://www.amazon.com/History-English-Monarchy-Boadicea-Elizabeth/dp/8494372122/

It's about 300 pages and takes you up to around 1600 or so, and then you're on your own after that. Might be a bit overkill for Jeopardy -- some of these old monarchs you don't need to know anything at all about, others you basically just need to know their name (eg Ethelred the Unready, Stephen of Blois) or like 1-2 facts (Richard the Lionheart was a crusader, Henry V led the battle of Agincourt and has a Shakespeare play with the famous "Once more unto the breach" line) so if you're purely optimizing for Jeopardy it's easier to just learn those facts. I recommend the book anyway though, it's a good read.
