Know your British history? Quiz..

[Scoosh]

9/10 - not much to my surprise.

Would have been 10 if I hadn't tried to be smart on Versailles

 

[Fat B'stard]

8/10 with 2 guesses not bad really. Haven't checked which ones i got wrong though

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I got 11 so stick that in your pipe...

 

[perplexed]

9/10. Got the peasant's revolt one wrong, bugger...

 

[Fat B'stard]

second attempt got 9/10. Still got the peasant revolt date wrong. Think i was on holiday during that riot!!

 

[marinyork]

Good quiz that.

 

[tyred]

9/10 and I'm not even British

I knew 8 for sure, 1 was an educated guess and I never even heard of the peasants revolt so that was the one I got wrong.

Would have been 10 if I hadn't tried to be smart on Versailles

Yup - I did exactly the same!

 

[Vapin' Joe]

I'd have got ten too, if only I had known the other 5.

 

[Oxo]

Seven out of ten. Must do better!

in the scheme of things how useful is this knowledge? I can see that getting approximately the correct century might matter. I can also see that knowing an overview of the events themselves could be of use. But the specific year, nah, that's just an additional memory trick.

There are a quite a few things that I learnt by rote that have only been of use in quizzes since.

9/10 - got the Spanish Armada wrong somehow. That was a waste of a History A level then.

 

[swee'pea99]

6. Very disappointed. I was all ready to get smug about my 8 or 9 when I pressed the button.

 

[Peteaud]

8/10

only q5 and q6 wrong.

Oh, and where was the magna carta signed?
