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 THURSDAY QUIZ opens at 9pm tonight [Wednesday 5 June], when the first answer can be given, and will stay open until 12 noon on Friday 7 June 2019.

 

Correct answers, additional info, and * klaxons* will be added up for each player; and the results and the winner[s] announced after 1pm on Friday; along with the winner of the special joy award.

 

Good luck.

Thanks for the gap and help, @Cleoriff, @, but my limited knowledge of Kings, English or otherwise, is limited

Perhaps I can make amends by proffering this King...

Well done everyone wink

@viridis  Brilliant and true...rofl

 

@Mi-Amigo  I need to ask if you are in cahoots with @MI5 ??????

 

Yesterday you inferred his favourite football club (Liverpool) could be a topic. Today you state France is next weeks challenge. @MI5  has a second home in France....

All a bit fishy to me...roflLOL

NB, in case anyone thinks I'm being serious, then you don't know me at all Bouncy

Well done everyone, and I love @viridis answer which, as @Cleoriff said, is so true.

 

Look forward to the question on France which, depending on the question, I may know something or nothing about LOL

Shucks I`ve been sussed. We Liverpool fans have to stick together when we have the Red Army to contend with

 

And anyone who believes that really doesn`t know what @Cleoriff calls [and I admit is] my "weird sense of humour".

All I`ll add is, wait till everyone sees the question!! joy As I said, it is not about the French language.

 

Oh and in two weeks time, I`ve got a much easier question [well some might think so Whistle] and "No" I`m not saying what the subject is yet slight_smile
