I always wondered what I was doing wrong with my mandillian, now I know 😁
Thanks to Disney's Robin Hood for my answer to Q1 Technically, throne should have gone to the first son of the next youngest of the brothers, Geoffrey, not to John at all.
Thanks for a stinker quiz, as usual, @Mi-Amigo, and well done all.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn for your comments.

I`m pleased you enjoyed the quiz - even though some of the questions were "stinkers".

Maybe you`ll find today`s questions are not quite so difficult?
