First Names C-D Trivia Questions

1. Dave Clark was the leader and drummer of the sixties band The Dave Clark Five. He quit drumming in 1972. Why?

From Quiz
People Named Dave or David

Answer: He broke four knuckles

David Clark was born on December 15, 1939, in England. In 1950, he taught himself how to play the drums and formed a skiffle band, a type of folk band in which instruments usually are homemade or improvised, to raise money for his football team to go to The Netherlands. The band eventually became The Dave Clark Five. In 1970, they broke up, and, in 1972, Clark quit drumming after he broke four knuckles while tobogganing.

2. Who married Henry VIII on 11 June 1509?

From Quiz It's Me, I'm Cathy

Answer: Catherine of Aragon

Catherine of Aragon (1485-1536) was born in Castilia (Spain). She was only three years old when she was betrothed to Arthur, the English crown prince. The marriage ceremony was in 1501, but Arthur became ill and died in 1502. To avoid missing out on the dowry, Henry VII (Catherine's father-in-law) then arranged that Catherine would marry Arthur's brother Henry when he came of age. The young Henry was still a minor, as he was born in 1491. So in 1509 the promised wedding was celebrated in great pomp and circumstance - on June 11, some six weeks after the death of King Henry VII. During the marriage, Catherine became pregnant more than once, but the only offspring who survived childhood was a daughter - Mary Tudor. Henry VIII (1491-1547) sought a reason to divorce Catherine, and he finally found one: by founding a new Christian denomination and assuming the supremacy in this Anglican church, Henry VIII felt it was no longer required to obey the Pope, who supported Catherine's case. Catherine Howard (1523-1542) would become Henry VIII's fifth spouse, in 1540. Catherine Parr (1512-1548) was Henry's sixth and final spouse, in 1543. Catherine de Medici (1519-1589) never married into English royalty, but she married the French king Henry II in 1533.

From Quiz What's In The Chuck Wagon, Chuck?

Answer: Charlton Heston

Answer: Charles II

Whilst on his death bed, King Charles II is reputed to have said, 'Let not poor Nelly starve' to his brother. The Nelly in question was Nell Gwyn, one of his many mistresses. His brother, James II, who succeeded him paid off Nell's debts and made available further funds to ensure she did not waste away.

10. "Judge not, lest ye be judged", as the good book says. My first Deborah can be found among these sacred pages. One more hint - she was in the legal profession. What was this "Deborah"?

From Quiz Darling Deborahs

Answer: A judge

Deborah is the only female judge mentioned in the Bible. She volunteered for the job when no man would step up. She would sit under a palm tree and people wanting her legal advice would visit her there. She could not hold court in her home because it was against the law for her to be in a house alone with a man. When Deborah became a judge, Israel was under the thumb of a cruel monarch, King Yavin of Hazor. Deborah commanded her top general, Barak, to take 10,000 men to do battle with Sisera, the opponent's military leader. Barak was reluctant to go into this battle and would only go if Deborah came with him. She complied but told Barak that if they were victorious, then history would record that a woman defeated the enemy. Sisera was heavily favored, having over 900 chariots. But the chariots got stuck in the mud and the Israelites were soon victorious. Sisera, himself, was killed by an Israelite woman, Yale or Jale. Deborah was correct in her prophecy; it is she that people remember, not Barak.
