Yes, he's one of the murdered monarchs, but he wasn't murdered at THIS castle, just held prisoner there.


Yes, it was besieged twice in the English Civil Wars, but no, it wasn't given to Sir Francis Drake.

Was Richard II murdered... or just "not fed"... I forget.

I'm way out of my depth here, but I figured I'd fire a shot in the dark...

Well here are the answers:


the two murdered monarchs associated with this place are:

Edward Martyr, the Saxon king, murdered here (supposedly, since he has a church dedicated to him here),

and Edward II, although he was murdered elsewhere, but only held prisoner here.


it was a favourite residence of King John, known as Lackland, the monarch forced to accede to the demands of the English barons at Runnymede and sign Magna Carta

it was given/sold by Elizabeth I to her courtier Sir Christopher Hatton


and it withstood two sieges in the English Civil Wars,

and it's located in Dorset, in the Isle of Purbeck (which in true British fashion, isn't an isle, but a peninsula).



It's Corfe Castle, which if any of you are coming to the British Isles, you shouldn't miss, both because of the still impressive grandeur of the ruins, and the charm and beauty of its natural setting, and also its association with one of the most famous sieges of the English Civil Wars.

Uhm, how many places was Ed II held prisoner before being executed?

Good question. I think he was moved several times before being immured in Berkeley, the problem being that no one wanted a Royal prisoner (or responsibility for a Royal death) on their hands- he was, despite the rubbish portrayed in 'Braveheart', a king held in affection by some of his people.


The poker was so that people could be shown a dead body, without any overt marks of violence, and without Royal blood having been spilled.


Certainly, I don't think he was as varied in his residences as Mary Queen of Scots was when she was held captive/a Royal guest in England.

Well I don't mind. You might find this one easier:


name the ship, and the person after whom she was named (ironically enough).

A notorious monarch commissioned her, and her retrieval from the sea after she capsized taught us a lot about the navy, armaments and the society of her time.

Err, 'name the ship and the person after whom she was named' is TWO parts.


Which is 25 or so less than 27.
