  3. I got 6 out of 9 right! but I agree with what Indexer has said. These quizzes are very tricky to make as sometimes the options do not register correctly. Maybe you can the Editors to return it to Draft and correct the quiz again.

  6. 5/9. In the final question, I wonder are you confusing King William III of England with William I, Prince of Orange (who was never king of England). The latter was born in what is now Germany, though it wasn’t then, but the English king was from the Netherlands, as Indexer points out.

  7. 8/9! I enjoyed this as I am real history buff. Good quiz, but i agree with Indexer’s comments above. There are one or two dubious answers to the questions, and one question: “Which King burnt the cakes?” appears twice, and in the second instance, the suggested answers don’t correspond. I think you have accidentally duplicated a question where you meant to put a new one.

      • I know. I have posted a couple of quizzes here and found it quite tricky, so I have made mistakes with them too. It is a pain that we can’t edit once we have submitted our posts here and they have been accepted. I think they should still have the Edit option available.

  9. There are some problems with this quiz. For one thing, you are wrong about William of Orange, who was Dutch and not German. Question 4 does not appear to have a right answer (should be Jane Seymour). Question 6 repeats question 5 – although not with the same answers. I am also not convinced that the name `White Queen` existed outside the imagination of Philippa Gregory – the assignment of white and red roses as the symbols of the houses of York and Lancaster was not contemporary but a much later invention.
