Snobot Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 @101 60 in the cup. Not sure I agree with the answer to Q9. Your quiz, your rules, fair enough, but.... Spoiler 8th of Scotland, yes, but only 3rd James of both countries as James 1 - V were only King of Scots. VI and VII also predate the UK but were kings of England and Scotland after the Union of Crowns. Any new James would be treated as James III. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobot Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 @101 Maybe our constitutional expert Kincardine can chime in but I can’t seem to tag him. Spoiler I always assumed the Elizabeth 1/ 2 thing to be a consequence of England’s assumption of being the dominant senior “partner” in the Union. On James, he was styled as VI of Scots until the Union of the Crowns and then:- “He was proclaimed "James the first, King of England, France, and Ireland, defender of the faith" in London on 24 March 1603.“ It is something of a moot point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go by the higher number. The last King James was VII of Scotland and II of England... he wasn't king of Great Britain/the UK as that had yet to be created. If there was another King James he would be James VIII. All monarchs since the Act of Union in 1707 have taken the higher number... though it has always been the English one. I suspect they deliberately don't pick names that would ensure a higher Scottish regnal number such as James, Robert or David. We are long overdue another King Lulach, IMO.

Cardinal Richelieu Posted September 7, 2020 Author Share Posted September 7, 2020 9 out of 10. I was going to write a short poem about getting the poetry question wrong, but I can't think of anything that rhymes with poem or poetry, so that idea isn't even getting off the starting blocks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 9/10 for Monday. Also I got the cup quiz question wrong and since I had the same reasoning as @101 I would like to say he’s definitely correct and won’t be hearing any arguments to the contrary. Give me another point, lads. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
