Rare Entries Quiz XI

Post by tubeguru »

OK, time for round eleven of this quiz.

The subject this time is English/British/UK Monarchs and Politics. All of the information I used to collate this quiz can be found on Wikipedia, so it's just a question of knowing what to search for. Hopefully I haven't left any loopholes for funny answers, but we'll see how it pans out. So, without further ado here are ten questions which should give you something to think about, and may even provide you with a little education:

1 - Name a Plantagenet King of England who ruled England between 1154 and 1399 inclusive.

2 - Name any female English/British monarch. Note - Lady Jane Grey is an INVALID answer, as she was never a legitimate heir of Edward VI, and the machinations of her uncle to get her into that position add further to the confusion. All other females are VALID answers.

3 - Name a British Prime Minister who served under King George I or King George II (you may give either their name or their title, but it must be accurate so I know who you're referring to).

4 - Name any person who has served as leader of the Liberal Democrats (the UK political party) from their formation in 1988 to the present day.

5 - Name a candidate in the London Mayoral Elections of 2012.

6 - Name any of Queen Victoria's children who outlived her (in other words, were alive after the 22nd of January, 1901). Once again, names or titles are fine, as long as I can work out who you're referring to.

7 - Name a British Prime Minister whose total time in office amounted to less than 365 days.

8 - Name any person to have held the office of Deputy Prime Minister in the UK.

9 - Name a person residing between positions 1 and 10 inclusive in the Line of Succession to the British throne. Either their name or their title is acceptable, but make sure I know who you mean.

10 - Name a post-1066 English/British monarch who acceded to the throne at the age of less that 19 years old. In other words, they had NOT yet celebrated their 19th birthday on the death of the previous monarch. Note - Lady Jane Grey is an INVALID answer (see question two).

Answers in a PM to me, as usual, and the deadline is Monday the 30th of April, at 15.00

If you have any questions, now is the time to ask them. Good luck!

I received a PM from The Raven:

Sorry, I would like clarification. What do you mean by post 1066? Does that include the year of 1066 it's self or from 1st January 1067 onwards?

Good question. I mean from the reign of William the Conqueror inclusive. Does that clear it up?

I would also like to point out that the timescale referred to in question 10 encompasses the reign of a female monarch who is a disputed entry in the official list of monarchs. Therefore, I will NOT accept this female "monarch" as an answer - see question two for why.

NOTE - I have altered questions two and ten so that "Lady Jane Grey" is now an INVALID answer for. That just saves you wasting your time deciding if she was a valid answer or not.

Carry on.

People who are dead don't normally qualify to succeed to the throne.

OK, a goodly number of entries in so far, but people I would expect to enter have not done so yet.

Keep them coming people.

I think that Panathanaikos mis-read the question. He thought that we had to select one of the people that we gave as answers to questions 1 to 10, who were in line for the throne.
