Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Catherine of Aragon
Answer: Pomegranate
Catherine used the plentifully-seeded pomegranate, which suggested fertility, as her badge.
2. Anne Boleyn
Answer: French hood
Anne, who had served at the French court, preferred this graceful hood to the severely-styled English gable that was fashionable at the Tudor court before her ascendance. The French hood was frowned upon when Anne's successor, Queen Jane, was consort.
3. Jane Seymour
Answer: Phoenix badge
Although the Seymour family crest bore the proud peacock, Jane chose the self-sacrificing phoenix as her personal badge.
4. Anne of Cleves
Answer: Ring inscription: "God Send Me Well to Keep"
Anne had the ring destroyed when her marriage to Henry was annulled.
5. Catherine Howard
Answer: "Rose Without a Thorn"
Before he learned of his wife's infidelity, Henry referred to Catherine by this poetic soubriquet.
6. Catherine Parr
Answer: Lamentations of a Sinner
Catherine was not only a Queen, but a published author. Her "Lamentations of a Sinner" was a sixteenth-century equivalent to a bestseller.
7. Mary I
Answer: "Bloody"
Although the number of executions in Queen Mary's reign were not unusual, her staunch persecution of Protestants caused her to be remembered as "Bloody Mary."
8. Elizabeth I
Answer: Gloriana
Edmund Spenser dedicated his epic "The Faerie Queene" to Elizabeth, basing the character of Gloriana on her and creating one of the names by which she would be known. "Virgin Queen" is another.
9. Mary "Mary Rose" Tudor
Answer: Queen of France
Mary was Queen of France during her first marriage, to Louis XII. When remarried, she became Duchess of Suffolk.
10. Margaret Tudor
Answer: Thistle and Rose
Margaret, the elder daughter of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, was Queen of Scotland whilst married to James IV. She was subsequently married to the Earl of Angus and later to Lord Methven. The thistle is the national flower of Scotland, and the red and white rose symbolizes the union of the Houses of Lancaster and York.
