Missed a few and learned a lot, great history lesson.
i got 6 right, 3 because you have mentioned some things about this in later posts! Thanks!!!!
I got three out of ten .
Was that because you knew the answers or a bit of guesswork?!
6 out of 10 – I’m going to get a lottery ticket! I was there once but everything I know about Leicestershire I learned just a second ago. Cheers!
Wow – you dug this one up from two years ago – your own Richard III discovery!
I poke around to get Virils while waiting for approvals pending stuff. I am catching up bouncing around in the past. I’ve burned through the new stuff – the handbags, the flowers, etc…
2/10 Well, it’s better than zero (but not that much better!!)
But maybe you now know something that you didn’t know before!
You got 3 out of 10 right!
Could be better
4/10. But the only answer I was sure was about Richard lll´ s bones found under the car park.
That one made the national news. My wife used to walk across that car park on her way between offices – clearly having no idea who lay beneath her feet as she did so!
International news, in fact. I am from Pakistan and the news made its way in our newspapers too 🙂
The Bosworth Battlefield is only a few miles from where I live, so I was able to watch the ‘cortege’ drive by on the day that the reburial ceremonies began. I also visited Leicester Cathedral during the ‘lying in state’ and took some photos, one of which was used by the Richard III Society as the cover picture for their commemorative brochure. It was quite an occasion!
good
i like your question
5 out of 10. It is not bad and not good.
If you live in the county it`s worse than if you don`t!
hard one for me
But you had a go? Great!
I only got 3 of 10 right…and guessed on those. lol It is pretty easy to see that I don’t know anything about Leicestershire.
Rex, If I scored as many as that on a quiz about Montana – without using any outside sources – I`d be pretty proud of myself!
i got 7
Not bad! Well done!
