Very nice quiz, with some good information. There is, however, a grammatical error in the explanation for #2, The second sentence says, in part: "...caused many woman to fear that they...". Correctly, it should say, "...caused many women to fear that they...". I tried to correct this, but was not allowed to do so.

I would have failed miserably if I hadn't read "The Other Boleyn Girl" and relied only on what I'd learned in history classes

I would have got A+ but I misspelled "Boleyn"! I love the Tudors, they are absolutely fascinating, and Henry VIII and his wives are especially so. I study them a lot in my spare time.
