Does the quiz question say middle LINES or LINE? The 3 lines in the middle are:

God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,

Maybe Victoria and Gloria- but I can't see who the characters are.

If it's just the middle line then maybe Sandy/Sandra and Victoria.

Hope this triggers some ideas.

I was assuming this is a UK quiz so refers to the God Save the Queen anthem.

If it's a Scottish quiz, the middle line of Verse 1 of Flower of Scotland is
"Your wee bit Hill and Glen"

Many thanks to you all for these ideas. I will keep exploring!

So is it a Scottish Quiz?

Don't know if this helps, but 'God Save the King', which morphed into 'Queen' w and proved very popular and caught on. It was written and first performed in 1745 (after a theatrical performance - I think). This was just after 'Bonnie Prince Charlie' beat the English at Prestonpans.

The popular book series could just be 'Horrible Histories' (have addicted grandchildren) so middle lines could be 'Victoria and Gloriana', but it is all very strange. Good luck.

I can't see any military connection though.

Quiz is from England. Again many thanks to all of you for suggestions.

Could Glorius & Victorius (or something similar - Happyanglorius?)be Roman soldiers from the Asterix series. They had names like Armisurplus, Crismusbonus, Magnumopus.

Sendervictorius & Appianglorius from Asterix the Gladiator.

Many many thanks to Kettledrum for last night's answer. Having looked at original suggestion by Kettledrum I'd starting looking through some of the Asterix books. A great find - and again I'm grateful to all of those who took the time (and trouble!?) to offer suggestions.

kettledrum

Glad to have helped, Blueintheface. And it was fun to revisit Asterix & remember what witty names some of the characters had.

jourdain2

Wonderful! I'd forgotten Asterix -- brilliant books. :)

Jackdaw33

A brilliant answer indeed. Very well done.
