ANSWERS

1. B. Along with whale meat, wild boar, roast tongue, leg of pork, roast deer, meat pie . . .  and that was just the first course.

2. C. Henry enjoyed watching his subjects play football. Rival villages of about 150-a-side used to play in a field with a ball. The first team to score two goals won.

3. All of them!

4. A. While Henry was fighting in France, King James of Scotland (married to Henry’s sister) invaded the North of England and was fought to the death at the Battle of Flodden. Henry was furious at his wife’s joy at the invasion.

5. B. There were lots of Tudor “cures” for the plague but some were even worse than the sickness itself!

6. C. The sweating sickness claimed many London lives. And when his second wife, Anne Boleyn, showed symptoms he abandoned her for a country house to hunt stags.

7. B. Henry changed the law so poisoning was punished by being boiled alive.

8. C. Instead of the usual axe-wielding executioner, who often took several hacks, horrible Henry sent for an expert French swordsman who took just one stroke.

9. C. Throughout his reign, Henry had problems with religion. He made a fortune from selling monastery land. When some monks joined a rebellion he hanged them from the towers as an example.

10. C. Having ordered Cromwell’s execution, Henry married Catherine Howard on the same day. He had her executed two years later (by axe) and buried next to her cousin . . . Anne Boleyn.

11. C. Henry died on 28 January 1547, married to his sixth wife. He had a fever, many ailments and the guilt of his horribly bloodthirsty rule where it is thought over 57,000 were executed on his command.
