I'm glad I got the correct answer, not so great that I have to ask the next question as I'm not very good so forgive me if the following is dreadfully easy.

Alrighty, we all know that William the Conqueror died in 1087 but how and where did he die?

Edit:I want to add the Muhahaha but never mind. Edited for a simple error in the Conqueror, I spelt it Conkueror....

Hmm, a hint perhaps:

He was invading this country at the time when he had the accident.

A bit of useless trivia also:But did you know that William was so strong that he could get on his horse in full body armor?

No worries Nick. It happens and it is my fault that I didn't explain properly. So how did he die? You've got the where but how did he die?

Nick22 · **Reply #366 on:** May 13, 2009, 01:36:51 PM

Yes and died of ....in agony.

Nick22 · **Reply #368 on:** May 13, 2009, 01:39:12 PM

He would have survived with modern care..

Saft · **Reply #369 on:** May 13, 2009, 01:42:28 PM

Yes, he probably would have.
He died of a burst organ, liver. Anyway, Nick you are correct so you get to ask the next question.

How many henrey became came king, and how many years passed between the first Henry and the last..

Saft · **Reply #371 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:04:44 PM

I presume these are the English Henry's?

There were eight english kings named Henry.
However, since I am very awful at maths I can't give the answer to how many years passed between the first and last.

Nick22 · **Reply #372 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:05:18 PM

Just give me the date the first Henry took the throne the death of the last Henry..

Saft · **Reply #373 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:13:14 PM

Henry I:1100
Henry VIII:1547

(Thank you Nick)

Nick22 · **Reply #374 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:17:09 PM

447 years then is your answer.. your turn Saft..

Saft · **Reply #375 on:** May 13, 2009, 02:45:48 PM

As I mentioned I'm awful at maths, good at algebra but awful at the rest of the subject.

Queen Elizabeth's I reign restored much of the tuberlance that was present during the two reigns of her siblings. The religious issues (Catholicism, protestantism) that had seperated the people of England since the reformation of the church during Henry VIII's reign was put to rest by the Elizabethan Relgious settlement in 1559. My question is, what were the two acts that made up this settlement?

Saft · **Reply #376 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:30:40 PM

Hmmm, a hint?

Alright, these acts were passed by both the House of Commons and Lords and were signed in 1559. Became known as the Elizabethan Religious settlement.

If I give anymore, I'd answer my own question.

Nick22 · **Reply #377 on:** May 14, 2009, 12:31:29 AM

The Acts of Supremacy anf Uniformity.. the first confirmed the CHurch of England's independencvce from Rome, and the second organized the Church
