	Wow I was appalling at this. I'm so ashamed. 19/33? It's my own country's history! :(

	1665-1666: Not a great time to be a resident of London.

	King John didn't sign the Magna Carta - he sealed it. It's not even been proven that he was able to write his own name. Otherwise a very interesting, enjoyable quiz. Thank you.

	@DougButcher - I think the one good thing about the Great Fire of London was that it killed off the plague.

	This is all England's history - not British history

	^ The question about the Prime Ministers and Kings/Queens for the most part apply to the whole UK, but I do agree it would be good to include questions specific to the other countries, e.g. when they lost their independence and such. The only reason I knew when the 100 years war started was because I knew towards the end of it there was a massive uprising in Wales which almost gained its independence. Sorry for the lengthy comment but I just wanted to say I like this quiz and I didn't do too badly on it.

	When I was in high school, my history book included a facsimile of the "Warrant to execute King Charles the First. AD 1648", although the same book said that the execution had happened in 1649. The professor couldn't explain why. Only much later I solved the mystery: the year in England began on March 25th, so the day of the execution (Jan. 30th) belonged still to 1648 for the people of the time.

	The Great Fire of London killing off the Plague is a myth.

	A favorable consequence of the Plague of 1665 was that a recent graduate from the University of Cambridge decided to move to a place supposedly safer than the city: the farm of his family, in Lincolnshire. There he saw an apple falling from the tree.

	Great quiz- really educational. You can see why the peasants revolted - 100 years war, black death ... bad times for peasants. William the Conqueror is clearly 1066, so William the Second won't be long after. There are lots of ways available for remembering these. 5 globes from me.

	The song "Oliver Cromwell" by Monty Python was a BIG help to me.

	British history? yeah, like the poxy british people have a history that can compare to the HUNDREDS of years of American history! Pah! Like we want to know about what some silly little country used to do

	I think there could be more relevant political history from the late nineteenth century through to the present day. Death of Queen Victoria, women's suffrage, IRA bombings, 2005 terrorist attacks in London etc etc are better questions than the World Cup, the Beatles and the Olympics. And having nothing at all from 1859 to 1936 is insane.
