	Magnolia, this is a good quiz with some well thought out questions. The trouble is.. if you go throught the kings (adding the numbers as you go) you can get all the answers without knowing diddly. You might therefore want to change the quiz, so you can only get it right on the selected answer. good luck

	Nice quiz. But I agree with Flick: specify that you must answer the selected question. You may as well cut down on the time, and change the width of the columns.

	Mary I was not executed by anybody, much less by Elizabeth. Mary I, daughter of Henry VIII, died of cancer in 1558. Her and Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Stuart, was queen of Scotland. She got kicked out of Scotland in 1568, and came to England where she became Elizabeth's prisoner. Elizabeth executed her in 1587. Two different people.

	The Star Chamber was established by Henry VII, and was an unaccountable royal court used largely for political enemies, not a predecessor of parliament, which already existed by that point.

	What everyone else said. Needs to be "answer in order," and WTF are you on, Mary wasn't executed and that's not what or when the Star Chamber was.

	Just to add to the other posts, Mary I (Henry VIII's eldest daughter) actually had the Princess Elizabeth (later to be Elizabeth I, Henry VIII's younger daughter) imprisoned in the tower, for plotting against her. They did not share the same religion, but Elizabeth was not a staunch protestant like their brother Edward.

	Small qualm, but Victoria became queen at 18, not 19. See previous comments for other things you need to fix.

	Mary I was not executed by her sister (I assume you mean Elizabeth). Elizabeth had Mary Queen of Scots executed much later, but did not have a hand in Mary I's death. Mary I (aka Bloody Mary) died of natural causes.

	The Court of Star Chamber was not, in fact, established by Henry VII. The Court itself, made up of the king's council, had been in place since at least the 14th century. It was well in place by the time Henry VII ascended to the throne and passed the Act of Star Chamber which created a new body, distinct from the King's General Council. The room which eventually gave the Court its name was built by Edward II (r. 1307-1327). The court dealt with equitable cases of both civil and criminal natures and existed as a supplement to Common Law and the other equitable courts.
