Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Downton Abbey is the home of the Crawley family and their many servants. The head of the family is Lord Grantham, but what is his full title?

Answer: Earl of Grantham

Robert is the Earl of Grantham and head of the Crawley family. The proper form of oral address for an Earl is "Lord" and his wife is addressed as "Lady", although her title is "Countess".

2. Matthew Crawley doesn't originally live near Downton Abbey, so what brings him there in the beginning of the show?

Answer: He becomes Lord Grantham's heir

Since Lord Grantham had no son, his heir was a cousin who perished on the Titanic at the beginning of the first season of "Downton Abbey". After his death, Matthew Crawley is the closest male relative and therefore becomes Lord Grantham's heir.

3. Name the Crawley daughters from oldest to youngest.

Answer: Mary, Edith, Sybil

Mary is the eldest Crawley sister, followed by Edith and Sybil. Because he only has daughters, Lord Grantham's title and incomes must go to distant cousin Matthew.

Answer: Branson, the chauffeur

Lady Sybil falls in love with Branson, the chauffeur. Although they know their youngest daughter is quite open-minded, Lord and Lady Grantham are not pleased that Sybil decided to marry the help.

5. Lady Mary's fiance, Sir Richard Carlisle, wants the couple to move far from the rest of the Crawleys once they are married.

Answer: False

Sir Richard and Lady Mary plan to move to a neighboring estate after they are wed - the home is even bigger than Downton!

6. Lady Edith betrays Lady Mary, who hasn't always been kind to her. What does Lady Edith do that could get Lady Mary in big trouble?

Answer: Writes to the Turkish Embassy about an attach�'s death

The Turkish attach� Pamuk dies in Lady Mary's bed, a fact that Lady Mary, Lady Grantham and Anna cover up. Once Lady Edith finds out, she writes to the Turkish Embassy explaining how Pamuk died, which could jeopardize Lady Mary ever finding a husband.

7. Matthew serves in World War I with William, one of Downton's footmen. How does William help Matthew during the war?

Answer: Shields him from a shell

William saves Matthew's life by shielding him from a shell explosion. Both are seriously hurt, and William eventually dies of his injuries back at Downton.

8. Throughout England during World War I, there are many changes to the existing social order and even Lady Sybil and Lady Edith take jobs, of sorts. What do they become?

Answer: Sybil: nurse; Edith: tractor driver

Lady Sybil becomes an auxiliary nurse, and helps take care of many patients who stay at Downton during their recovery. Lady Edith learns to drive and helps out driving a tractor at a nearby farm.

9. Who is Lavinia Swire?

Answer: Matthew's fiancee

Matthew and Lavinia get engaged, and she stands by him after he is paralyzed during the war. She dies of Spanish Influenza at Downton.

10. The Dowager Countess of Grantham is a very formidable woman who always expresses her opinions. What is her first name?
