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.

Wow such a lot of Kings and Queens @viridis  Such a pity they are from Game of Thrones

Wot, Khaleesi is dead !!!!

[Poppysmum]

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 

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

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 ; 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 

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

@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

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

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. 

[Cleoriff]

That would be a NO from me.I know as much about Liverpool as I know about trigonometry...and that's precisely NOTHING 🤔

[MI5]

Yes yes yes yes yes
