Welcome to the THURSDAY QUIZ for 6 June 2019.

 

This week`s subject is BRITISH HISTORY.

Your quest is to find:

                                   the names of the English Monarchs from 827AD to 1154AD.

[to make it more of a challenge, I am not revealing how many names there were, but will say there are enough for all players to give two answers]

 

THE RULES: please note, there are a few changes to previous rules for the Thursday Quiz:

 

The Thursday Quiz is open to all members of the Community.

So whether you have joined in on previous Thursday Quiz, or you are a new member, or have never played before, you are all welcome to take part.

 

Each player will be allowed to submit two answers.

But, a player cannot post their second answer until after at least one other player has given an answer.

Players cannot give an answer already been given, and "I agree with ...." will no longer be allowed.

Players can give additional info [to earn credit if correct] but only to their own post, not other players`.

 

No googling, wiki, website, youtube, or similar search for the answers.

 

Each correct answer will be awarded trophy; additional info with be awarded credit; and each incorrect answer will get the * klaxon *.

The funniest comment or answer will get the special joy award.

the names of the English Monarchs from 827AD to 1154AD.

Aerys II Targaryen - killed by his kings guard
Bobby Baratheon - killed by a boar
Joffrey Baratheon - killed by poisoned wine
Tommen Baratheon - killed by gravity
Cersei Lannister - killed by bricks
Daenerys Targaryen - killed loads, then got stabbed by her lover/nephew/rightful heir
Brandon Stark - elected as king because suddenly everyone forgot about the rightful heir once they all got him to do their dirty work.

I am probably wrong but will have a guess.

 

King Canute

 

King Alfred the Great 

 

Edward the Eighth

 

Queen Victoria 

 

King Sven sure when he was made England manager they mentioned a king with same name joy

 

I feel so clever or will be if any of those are correct LOL

Thanks for the feedback guys on your favourite subjects, which I will bear in mind for future Thursday Quzzes.

Interesting that most of you loved history which was one of my favourite subjects, and also loved maths, especially algebra, which I could do in my head without writing anything down [don`t worry @Glory1 , algebra won`t be a subject for the Thursday Quiz joy; but hated having to learn French language and could not get my head round geography.

So I can well understand @Poppysmum finding history a difficult subject.


Now I loved French, though not having used the language for many years, I'm quite bad speaking it, though I still understand quite a bit when I hear it spoken. Geography also wasn't too bad, though I admit that I was better at European geography than I was at American; just couldn't remember things like state capitals and state mottos. And thank you @Mi-Amigo for not making algebra one of the quiz subjects. Everday math fine, I can cope with that but equations and I'm lost rofl

 

History was and is my favourite subject. Sport is another subject that I admit to not being very good at as apart from baseball, I don't really follow any other sport. I watch the odd football game and tennis match but my knowledge of either sport is very limited. I think that sums me up for future Thursday quizzes: so presumably the next quiz will be maths, followed by sport @Mi-Amigo LOL

@Glory1 

Thanks for the info on your interests. 

As to sport being the next Thursday Quiz? You have got to be kidding. The only sport I`m interested in is football so the subject for a Quiz would be on Liverpool FC but if I do that @jonsie might have something to say scream

Well I wouldn't complain about Liverpool FC, though my knowledge is a bit dated as I haven't followed them for awhile. But when I did follow football with my late boyfriend, though he was a Scot, he was a big Liverpool supporter Bouncy

I can see I might have to put this to a vote.

Who is in favour or against Liverpool FC being the subject of a Thursday Quiz?

Please note, if agreed, it will not be the subject for quite a while as I already have subjects lined up for the next few Thursday Quizzes.
