That's a Lot of Elizabeths Trivia Quiz

Answer: Monroe

Elizabeth Monroe (1768-1830) was the wife of America's fifth president, James Monroe. James and Elizabeth met at a theater in 1785 and married the next year. She was first lady-although she was never called that-for all eight years (1817 through 1825) of James's presidency.

Her predecessor was Dolley Madison who made such an impression that, although Elizabeth did a fine job as first lady, she was often viewed less positively. Elizabeth also didn't have the best of health, leaving many duties of the first lady, such as hosting parties, to her daughter Eliza. Elizabeth traveled with her husband to France, when George Washington appointed him ambassador.

Her charm and beauty made her popular, and it was with this popularity that she was able to secure the release of Marie-Adrienne Lafayette, wife of the Marquis de Lafayette.

The French were in the midst of a revolution, and nobility was to be persecuted. Since she was nobility, she was scheduled to be executed and would have been without Elizabeth's help. Elizabeth died of severe illnesses on September 23, 1830, less than a year before James died.

Answer: Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen, born in 1989, is the younger sister of twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Her first acting role was at the age of four, in the movie "How the West Was Fun" starring her sisters. However, it would be almost two decades before her next role.

Her most well-known role is perhaps Wanda Maximoff (the Scarlet Witch) in the MCU series of films, starting with a cameo appearance in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".

Answer: Cheney

Liz Cheney, daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, served in the House of Representatives from 2017 to 2023, before being defeated in a primary election by approximately 37%. Once considered a rising star, she earned the ire of conservative Republicans for a number of reasons, including voting for the January 6th commission (which stated as its own goal to determine what happened when people stormed the Capitol building on January 6th, 2021); being one of two Republicans to serve on the committee; certifying the results of the 2020 election, which conservatives said was stolen; voting to impeach Donald Trump; and voting for the Respect for Marriage Act, which codified same-sex marriage.

She was censured by the Republican National Committee.

Answer: Shaw

Elizabeth Shaw, referred to as Liz, played by Caroline John, was a companion of the Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee. She was the Third Doctor's first companion, not including any members of UNIT (United Nations Intelligence Taskforce). The Doctor was earthbound as punishment for breaking the laws of non-interference his people established, meaning Liz was one of the only people never to travel in the Doctor's TARDIS.

She was the Doctor's intellectual equal but even then, the Doctor would overshadow her as he had the habit of doing with other companions. Eventually, Liz left to go to Cambridge. Outside the show, it was decided Liz was too qualified to be a companion of the Doctor's. Liz only lasted one season on the show.

She was also one of the only companions to not get a farewell scene with the Doctor since the decision to drop Liz happened between seasons.

Answer: Brant

Elizabeth "Betty" Brant is a fictional character from the "Spider-Man" comics debuting in 1963, about a year after Spider-Man made his debut appearance. She is the secretary to J. Jonah Jameson at The Daily Bugle, having dropped out of high school and needing to pay off her mother's medical bills and her brother Bennett's gambling debts-the gambling debts being acquired since he tried to pay the medical bills.

She is also Peter Parker's first love interest, although the two would not marry; instead, Ned Leeds would become her husband. She has been portrayed by Elizabeth Banks in the Sam Raimi trilogy of movies and by Angourie Rice in the MCU.

Answer: Tudor

Elizabeth Tudor (1533-1603), better known as Queen Elizabeth I, was the reigning monarch of England from 1558 until 1603. During her reign, the East India Company was formed, the first English colony in the New World was established, the first English voyage around the world occurred, and William Shakespeare, with whom she was good friends, wrote his plays.

It was because of these things that England had its Golden Age. Having died without having a child to succeed her as heir, Elizabeth was the last of the Tudor dynasty.

She was succeeded by James I, who only had a distant familial relationship to Elizabeth. They were both descended from Henry VII, the original ruler from the Tudor dynasty. (Elizabeth was his granddaughter and James was his great-great grandson).

The US state of Virginia was named after Queen Elizabeth.

Answer: Bennet

Elizabeth Bennet, or Lizzy as her family calls her, is a fictional character in Jane Austen's novel "Pride and Prejudice". In the novel, she is an independent, intelligent person, who skirts many rules of etiquette. Elizabeth gets acquainted with Fitzwilliam Darcy, originally seen as a prideful man.

The two grow closer and eventually marry. Mr. Darcy's loving side comes out during their courtship. Although Mr. Darcy wanted to marry someone from whom he and his family would benefit, he married Elizabeth also out of love. Elizabeth Bennet was portrayed by Jennifer Ehle in the 1995 mini-series and by Keira Knightley in the 2005 film.

Answer: Blackwell

Elizabeth Blackwell (1821-1910) was the first woman to attend a medical school in the United States (Geneva Medical College), earn a medical degree, and eventually become a medical doctor of gynecology. She graduated top of her class, and this event was viewed favorably, even if she would later encounter sexism.

She spent several years in the United States practicing medicine, then practiced in London, then Paris, and finally back to the United States. This was because she encountered less sexism in the United States than in the European cities. She retired in 1896, and move to England, where she would die in Hastings, England, in 1910.

She never married.

Answer: Crocker

Betty Crocker was a fictional person created in 1921 by General Mills, but she didn't have a voice until 1924, and a physical appearance was not created until 1936. The name Betty was a result of it being a cheery, friendly American name, and the name Crocker was named after William Crocker, an executive of Washburn Crosby Company. (The company would merge with other companies to become General Mills.) The physical appearance was decided via contest between female employees. Betty Crocker also had a radio program called "The Betty Crocker Home Service Program" and a TV program called ""The Betty Crocker Cooking School of the Air"", both of which explained how to cook simple meals.

In 1945, she became the second most popular woman in America-the first being Eleanor Roosevelt-and became known as the First Lady of Food.

Answer: no last name

Zechariah and Elizabeth were the parents of John the Baptist. Like all people from this era, they had no last names but were usually described as being the son or descendant of someone.
Elizabeth is mentioned in only one book of the Bible (Luke) and in only one chapter of this book (Chapter 1). She is mentioned as being barren and old in age, meaning it seemed unlikely they would have a child. However, the angel Gabriel informed them both (separately) that they would have a son to be named John. According to Jewish customs, a son was to be named after someone in their lineage, but they had no one named John so it was an unusual choice, but since they were directed through Gabriel to name him John, that is what they did.
Elizabeth was the cousin (not necessarily literal in the sense that one of her parents was the sibling of one of Elizabeth's parents) of Mary, mother of Jesus. When Mary met Elizabeth, John leaped in her belly, and she was filed with the Holy Spirit, which may have been how she found out that Mary's baby was her Lord and Messiah.
