Ah didn't know the Champagne question like the answer though.

Never knew the Dalek question ~ only just know the Dalek name

Battle of Evesham ~ 1265 AD phew couldn't get that

could only think of Agincourt not that though ~ nearly 200 years later

Still trying to go up one level!

Well done everyone !
