I'll offer 1. Ides of March which is 15th yeah?
5. Anne Boleyn and one of the Catherines spring to mind... Henry VIII's always good for a beheading or two... I'll say Catherine Howard and not Parr coz I'm sure Parr was the last one and the last one survived.
7. I think it was Dick III who murdered huey duey and louey!
(I think I've seen Sissy the movie on our international channel, goes for hours, lots of flouncing.)
and teehee to the bonus question RC ;)

1. Ides of March
2. Agamemnon
3. Tutankhamen (or king Tut)
4. Claudius
5. Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard
6. Sissy
7. Edward II, about whom Marlowe wrote a tragedy once thought to be Shakespeare's (I was tempted to ask our rain man to Google that one, but I was afraid of the purists' reaction)
8. Richard III (but there was no Louey, only Huey and Duey, i.e. Edward V and Richard)
9. Sarajevo
10.Caligula

Bonus question:
Rosamund Clifford, the "fair Rosamond" of medieval ballads. I think that teehee answers it, so I give the laurel wreath to Secret Squirrel and he can share the leaves with the rest.

Yay I had a few right! Darn Blaise for winning though. grrrr.

You're right, jstk.dn, I should have procclaimed the winner, but I always have difficulty saying "and the winner is..." I like it to be a team work as it in fact is. And I'm not sure about the rules. The original ones said the winner is the person with most correct answers, and now it seems to be the person who supplies the last correct answer. If the first is the case, then you are the winner, and if not, Joshua wins. As you invented this quiz, I leave the verdict to you.
