House of Tudor Trivia Questions

1. The fates of the three Grey sisters - Jane, Katherine and Mary - were bound up in their heritage, and specifically in their claim to the English throne. Why were these girls possible royal heirs?

From Quiz
The Forbidden Loves of the Grey Sisters

Answer: Their grandmother was Henry VIII's younger sister.

It's worth a quick look at the family tree to understand the stakes. The Tudor dynasty began with Henry VII, a Lancastrian who ended the Wars of the Roses by defeating Richard III and marrying Elizabeth of York. The power couple had four children who survived into adolescence: Arthur, Margaret, Henry, and Mary. Arthur died before their father. Margaret married the King of Scotland. Mary married the elderly King of France, but when he died, she seized the opportunity to marry for love. Her chosen husband was Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk and Henry VIII's dear friend. Mary's brother was furious, and imposed a ruinous fine on the couple, but they managed to remain together. Mary and Charles had two sons who died in childhood, and two daughters who lived to marry and have children of their own. The elder, Frances Brandon, married Henry Grey, who was created Duke of Suffolk after his father-in-law's death. After two children who died in infancy, they had three girls, the sisters Jane, Katherine and Mary: great-nieces to Henry VIII.

2. When did King Henry marry the Lady Anne?

From Quiz Anne Boleyn

Answer: January, 1533

This marriage was solemnized in secret in 1533 due to the fact Henry was still married to Queen Katherine of Aragon. Anne was only to be queen for 1,000 days.

3. Who among these men was not named Thomas?

From Quiz Tudor Name Game

Answer: Anne Boleyn's brother, Viscount Rochford

Anne Boleyn's brother was called George, and he was executed shortly before she was, on charges of treason and incest (with Anne). Anne and George's father was Sir Thomas Boleyn, Viscount Rochford and Earl of Ormond and Wiltshire. Katherine Parr, Henry VIII's sixth and final wife, married Thomas Seymour following Henry's death. He is also said to have tried to pursue relationships with Henry's daughters, in hopes of being named King in the future. Cardinal Thomas Wolsey was a top advisor to Henry VIII early in his reign. Wolsey fell out of the King's favour when he could not get the Church to dissolve the marriage between Henry and Katherine of Aragon. He was accused of treason, suspected of loyalty to the Church ahead of State, but died of illness before he was tried.

4. Which queen - Elizabeth I or Mary, Queen of Scots - was related to King Henry VII of England?

From Quiz Elizabeth I & Mary of Scotland

Answer: Both

Elizabeth was his granddaughter through Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Mary was his great-granddaughter through Margaret and James IV of Scotland. Margaret and Henry VIII were brother and sister. Elizabeth and Mary were second cousins.

5. On 7 August 1485, Henry and Jasper Tudor arrived on the Welsh coastline, preparing to land. They dropped anchor at the spot called Aberdaugleddau by the Welsh. What do the English call it?

From Quiz The House of Tudor: Bosworth to 1500

Answer: Milford Haven

Shakespeare mentions Milford Haven in his play Cymbeline: "...how far it is to this same blessed Milford: and by the way, tell me how Wales was made so happy as to inherit such a haven ..."

6. The House of Tudor traces its roots back to the Kingdom of Gwynedd in North Wales. Who was the earliest identifiable member of the family?

From Quiz The House of Tudor: The Early Years

Answer: Ednyfed Fychan

Ednyfed Fychan was seneschal (steward) to the rulers of Gwynned. This allowed him to amass large amounts of property and to marry the daughter of Rhys, Prince of South Wales. (His year of birth is unknown, but he died in 1246). Ednyfed's grandson, Tudur ap Goronwy paid homage to the first English Prince of Wales in 1301.

7. This man was an older brother of the famous Robert Dudley, and became the Earl of Warwick after his father's death in 1553. Do you know his name?

From Quiz Obscure Tudors 4

Answer: Ambrose Dudley

Ambrose was imprisoned with Robert, Henry, Guilford, and their father after assisting their father in putting Lady Jane Grey on the throne illegally. Robert, Henry, and Ambrose all were released, though Henry was killed a little later fighting for King Philip II of Spain. As the oldest surviving brother, Ambrose inherited his father's title.

8. The first time I open my eyes, I see my parents standing above me. I try to ask them their names, but I can only make little gurgling noises. Just what are their names, anyway?

From Quiz The Life of Thomas Seymour

Answer: John Seymour and Margaret Wentworth

Thomas Seymour is the second son of John and Margaret Seymour. The Seymours enjoy some influence and power in England, as they are a rather old and noble family.

9. The most notable of Elizabeth I's cousins are Mary Queen of Scots, Lady Jane Grey, and Thomas Howard, who all played major roles in British history. But do you know this less notable cousin, Baron Hunsdon, the son of Anne Boleyn's sister?

From Quiz Obscure Tudors 3

Answer: Henry Carey

Henry Carey was the son of Mary Boleyn and William Carey, although he was rumored to be the son of Henry VIII himself. He was actually very good friends with Elizabeth, and although he did not start rebellions or cause disruptions like most of her other cousins, he still played his own part in the politics of Tudor England.

10. Many Tudor fans know about the love affair and marriage of Charles Brandon and Princess Mary Tudor. But do you know the name of the woman he married shortly after Mary Tudor's early death?

From Quiz Obscure Tudors 2

Answer: Catherine Willoughby

Much like his best friend Henry VIII, Charles Brandon was notorious for his scandalous and ill-planned marriages. When he secretly married the Princess Mary in 1515 it was was already his third marriage. His two earlier marriages were with Anne Browne and her aunt, Margaret Mortimer. He had been engaged to Anne, then changed his mind and married her aunt. Anne's family was so angry, they forced him to divorce Margaret and marry Anne. He got into more trouble with his marriage to Mary Tudor later on. His marriage to his fourth and last wife, Catherine Willoughby, was equally appalling. Catherine had been betrothed to his son, but he broke the betrothal and decided to marry her himself instead. She was only in her mid-teens, and Charles was in his forties.

11. When Elizabeth I was under scrutiny for her involvement with Thomas Seymour, her governess Kat Ashley was sent to the Tower for questioning. Who else was sent with her?

From Quiz Obscure Tudors

Answer: Thomas Parry

Thomas Parry was Elizabeth's treasurer and household manager and knew as much about the Seymour affair as Kat did. They were both questioned closely in the Tower.

12. Who were the three children of Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn?

From Quiz Boleyn Mania

Answer: Anne, Mary and George

These children of Thomas and Elizabeth Boleyn changed the course of history. Anne Boleyn is famous for marrying Henry VIII, thus helping him set aside his wife of more than 20 years, Catherine of Aragon, and indirectly causing the break with Rome. Anne gave birth to the future Queen Elizabeth I, and was executed shortly after on trumped up charges of adultery, incest and treason. Her brother George Boleyn was also executed for alleged incest with Anne, and their sister Mary Boleyn gave birth to Catherine Knollys and Henry Carey.

13. The Tudor dynasty had six monarchs, Jane Grey, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Elizabeth I, Henry VII, and Mary I. What is the correct sequence of reigns?

From Quiz The Tudors

Answer: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Jane Grey, Mary I, Elizabeth I

The Tudor Dynasty began in 1485 with the succession/triumph of Henry Tudor (Henry VII). Henry Tudor wasn't next in line for the throne: there were many other Yorks out there (including his future wife) who had a stronger claim to the throne than him, but he was well liked by many people. Henry married Elizabeth of York and they had eight children, four whom survived infancy. By 1501 Henry VII had his son Arthur married to Catalina de Aragon (Katherine of Aragon), but in 1502 Arthur died, and Catalina was widowed, Elizabeth of York died in 1503 attempting to strengthen the succession to the throne. In 1509 Henry VII died leaving his throne to his last remaing son Henry (Henry VIII), Henry married Catalinaa de Aragon and in 1516 their only surviving child, Mary (Mary I), was born. In 1533 Henry VIII anulled his marriage to Catalina de Aragon and married Anne Boleyn, that year Anne and Henry had their only surviving child, Elizabeth (Elizabeth I), in 1536 Henry VIII had Anne Boleyn beheaded and later that year he married Jane Seymour. In 1537 Jane Seymour delivered Henry and Jane's only child, Edward (Edward VI). In the span of ten years Henry would have three more wives, but no more children, in 1540 he annulled his marriage to the 'Flanders Mare' (Anne of Cleves) then in 1540 he married Kathryn Howard and two short years later she went to the block. In 1543 he married Catherine Parr, twice widowed. In 1547 Henry died, he left his throne to his nine year old son, Edward. Edward's reign was very turbulent. It involved him sending both of his uncles to the block, in 1553 it was very evident that he was dying, so John Dudley Duke of Northumberland devised a plan that involved making himself the father of the king of England. In 1553 Edward died, and through John Dudley's plan Jane Grey (who was married to John's son, Guilford) was made the Queen of England, Ireland, and France, nine days later she was thrown in to the Tower of London and Mary was proclaimed Queen, about six or seven months later she was beheaded. Mary died in 1558 leaving the throne to England, not only to her sister, but to her enemy, in 1603 Elizabeth died after an incredible reign and the Tudor dynasty ended. James VI of Scotland (James I) gained the throne and begain the Stuart dynasty in England.

14. Ruff is to Neck as ______ is to ______?

From Quiz Tudor Analogies 2

Answer: Hose is to Legs

Ruffs came into fashion during the reign of Elizabeth I. The bigger they were, the more important the person wearing it. They were starched so they were stiff enough to stand straight up. Elizabeth I is noted for wearing huge ruffs, often decorated with jewels for added elegance. Hose were worn by men, and they were basically "tights," or really tight pants. The object was to use as little material as possible when making them, because they were supposed to be skin-tight.

15. Katherine of Aragon is to Mary I as _____ is to _____?

From Quiz Tudor Analogies

Answer: Anne Boleyn is to Elizabeth I

Both Katherine and Anne were wives of Henry VIII, and it was while Henry was trying to divorce Katherine in the late 1520s and early 1530s that he split with the Catholic Church. After the messy divorce with Katherine, he married Anne in 1533.

16. Who were Mary's parents?

From Quiz Mary Boleyn

Answer: Thomas Boleyn and Elizabeth Howard

Mary was born in either 1499 or 1508 (there is controversy over the actual date, since records were not kept well back then). Because of that controversy it cannot be determined who was the eldest, Mary or Anne. Through her mother she was connected to one of the most powerful families in England, the Howards. Her father was a trusted friend of Henry VIII who also came to have great influence in court.

17. The attitude of Elizabeth I towards her suitors.

From Quiz Tudor Song Titles

Answer: "Miss Independent" by Kelly Clarkson

18. What year was Arthur born?

From Quiz Arthur Tudor

From Quiz Tudor Tales

Answer: 1485-1603

20. Select the correct order of Elizabeth's predecessors.

From Quiz Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots

Answer: Henry VIII, Edward VI, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I

The Tudor dynasty of England had its fair share of good and bad monarchs. Claiming their inheritance from the lineage of the Lancastrians, they defeated the Yorkists in 1485 and the Welsh Earl of Pembroke became Henry VII. He then cemented his claim by marrying the eldest daughter of Edward IV, the Princess Elizabeth. Henry VII died in 1509, leaving his second son to become Henry VIII at the age of 18. One of the more famous of all England's monarchs, Henry VIII is usually remember for his six wives, instead of the military conquests he achieved. On his death in 1547, Henry left the crown to his nine-year-old son, Edward VI. After the religious turmoil that plagued his father's rule, Edward was a staunch Protestant and began the decimation of the Catholic Church. Had he not died in 1553, he might have succeeded completely. With his death at the age of 15, Edward had amended the line of succession, leaving the throne to his cousin, Lady Jane Grey, rather than his sister, the Princess Mary. Lady Jane was technically on the throne for nine days before she was deposed and later beheaded. Mary I earned the title of 'Bloody Mary' during her reign for to her incessant efforts to bring England back to the Catholic Church. The Protestants of England welcomed her death in 1558, for her successor was Elizabeth I.
