4. Which board game are Fulke and Prince John fighting over?

Answer: Chess

Fulke was squired to John's retinue as a favour from the king to Fulke's father.

Fulke gave as good as he got and kicked John back, causing him to hit his head on the wall.

Answer: Theobald Walter

She is first married to Theobald Walter, Fulke's old mentor.

6. Name the four monarchs to sit on the throne during the timescale the book covers.

Answer: John, Henry II, Richard I, Henry III

Henry II is King at the beginning of the book; he is followed by his two sons Richard and John. The story ends with John's son Henry III as King.

Hubert Walter ascended to the position of Archbishop during the course of the book. When we first meet him he is Archdeacon of York.

9. Name Fulke's musical friend whom he met when he was taken into Theobald Walter's retinue.

Answer: Jean De Raimpaigne

10. What is the family estate being fought over by The FitzWarins and the Fitzrogers called?

Answer: Whittington

Whittington is the castle and land that the two families are fighting over. Fulke's grandfather lost Whittington whilst away fighting for the king after the Welsh raided the land. It is kept away from the Fitzwarins by John because of the petty feud between him and Fulke. This forces Fulke into life as an outlaw.
