  7. Let me guess, he gave her a good shove?!! That's what he gets for marrying outside his species!!
  8. !bravo! Good job Mr Rob T!! Aren't you proud of me?! I'm sticking to the topic!!!
  9. Alright, this one should be a bit easier...what pair are Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn playing in this photo? Duhhhhh...too easy!!!
  10. Alright, I can see I've lost you all on this one. The knight was Sir Hugh Swynford. He was the brother-in-law of Geoffrey Chaucer (his wife's sister's husband). He and his wife Katherine Swynford had 2 children, Blanchette (whom John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster named himself Godfather of), and Thomas Swynford who became Constable of Pontefract. It is thought by some that Thomas was responsible for the death of King Richard who was imprisoned there. Hugh died in 1371 in Bordeaux while in service to the Duke. The Duke was in love with Hugh's wife Katherine , and saw this the opportune moment t
  11. That's cheating!!! That's no fun, you'll just have to wait and see for yourself!!
  12. I don't watch much TV, it's always on Spongebob or Jimmy Neutron!! (kids shows) Is that the one with Kiefer Sutherland?
  13. !tony! I don't think William de la Pole was a knight was he?? Alright, before everyone's heads burst I'll give you one last sure fire hint... Hint: Katherine
  14. Oh but why, you seem like such a pleasure to have around!!
  15. The boats are the same as there, but that is at the Marriott Desert Springs Resort. That was my second job as a teen. Quite fun, I met several celebrities while working there! And very funny Baz! I was referring to the hat, not my chest!!
  16. !tony! Hint: His wife's tomb is in Lincoln Cathedral, while his is in the little church in the village where he had his estate. Another hint: John of Gaunt was their first child's godfather.
  17. I'm trying! I posted a trivia question based on someone from Nottingham!!
  18. Will this be ok, or is it too FLAT!!!?
  19. Have you all given up on this one, or are you digging through your history books?!
  20. Den, where do you find this stuff!!!?
  21. !tony! Hint: The knight was from Lincolnshire and was of the Duke's own retinue. He was with the Duke in Bordeaux where he died very suddenly... Another hint: His son grew up to be the Constable of Pontefract...
  22. Is Ilkolad a moderator? If so he could have changed the wording in FC's post. You're right, that's not the Flat Cap we all know and lo...well, he's not the Flat Cap we all know!
  23. !tony! I have a feeling this one is WAY too hard. Let's change it a bit... He was a squire that dared attack John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster. He did this while mourning the death of the knight he was in service to, to honor his master when John tried to run off with his masters wife 4 days after the knights death... Who was the knight?
  24. I tried googling his name just to see how easy it would be, and it's not!! If you don't know A LOT of English history, or haven't read this book, you won't get it. Again, he was quite insignificant in history if it weren't for one very bold move that was not widely known. Hint: It involves John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster
