Good grief all of the above questions/answers are definately history questions but oh so dull.
It is for COMIC relief isn't it? Why not ask a few recent/different history questions instead? Eg who had an album entitled history(michael jackson), what is the longest anagram you can make out of HISTORY (shirty/shorty) etc etc

I've got other less serious subjects (music, TV, movies, sport, science and geography) in the quiz too so these questions are great. A few slightly easier ones I have come up with are:
1. In what year was Margaret Thatcher appointed Prime Minister?
2. Name two of Henry VIII wives
3. Sir Winston Churchill was a leader of which Political Party?
