Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. By what nickname was Henry VIII's father referred to?

Answer: the Welshman

Richard III was known to refer to Henry VII as the Welshman who claimed to have a hold on the English throne.
2. If his brother, Richard, Prince of Wales, had not died, then Henry would have never become king.

Answer: false

His brother was Arthur....definitely not Richard!
3. Which of Henry's wives was married once before getting hitched to him?

Answer: Catherine of Aragon

Katherine of Aragon was first married to Prince Arthur, but after his death, a papal dispensation was issued so that Henry could marry his brother's widow. Later, this would be used as an excuse to get a divorce from her. Katherine Parr was also married but she had been married twice before to very old men.
4. This Queen's father had an affair with his son's wife!

Answer: Jane Seymour

Yes this is true. Jane's dad certainly did covet his son's property, which for a time caused the Seymour's to fall out of grace with his royal majesty.
5. "The Most Happy". Whose motto was this?

Answer: Anne Boleyn

Though she was probably somewhat less than happy when her head got cut off three years after they were married.
6. During which Queen's reign did Henry have an affair with Bessie Blount?

Answer: Katherine of Aragon

Bessie Blount was the first known woman that Henry had an affair with. Although he had affairs with several women, Bessie's son, Henry Fitzroy, was the only bastard that he ever acknowledged as his.
7. Which Queen did Henry note to have bad underarm odor?

Answer: Anne of Cleves

From the start, Anne of Cleves had not been a favorite of the King and the fact that she could not speak English only made matters worse. He was known to have used the excuse that she smelled as the basis for his failure to consummate their marriage.
8. Even though Richard III was his father's nemesis, what relation did he have to Henry VIII?

Answer: great-uncle

Good people, this is true. Richard III was Elizabeth of York's uncle which made him great-uncle to the great king. Talk about family tragedy.
9. Which Queen died shortly after giving birth to a girl after the death of Henry VIII?

Answer: Katherine Parr

After the death of her husband, becoming the Dowager Queen, Katherine Parr married the new king's uncle, Thomas Seymour. Shortly after the birth of their daughter she died.
10. What type of son was Henry Fitzroy to Henry VIII?

Answer: illegitimate

Yes indeed, Henry Fitzroy was the King's bastard son.

The prefix 'Fitz-' which comes from Anglo-Norman and meant 'son' was sometimes used for bastards and it was particularly closely associated with royal bastards.
11. Anne of Cleves was one of the poor wives to get her pretty little head cut off.

Answer: false

She was the smartest of the wives. She knew she wasn't pretty and she knew Henry did not want her so she let him divorce her without a fight. In return for her good behavior, Henry made her 'honorary sister' and become one of the wealthiest women in her own right.
12. This Queen's ghost can allegedly be seen in Hampton Court Palace pleading for Henry to listen to her. Who is she?

Answer: Katherine Howard

February was the month that Henry's youngest wife got her head cut off for truly being an adulteress. Her cousin, Anne Boleyn, got her head cut off in May.
13. Which dukedom did Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard's uncle have?

Answer: Norfolk

Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk was in favor with the King for many years until his half witted niece, Katherine Howard, broke poor Henry's heart.
14. Which woman became Henry's wife out of political necessity?

Answer: Anne of Cleves

For the second time in his life, Henry didn't really have a chance to pick his wife. Seemed like both the marriages made because of political reasons ended up in annulments.
15. She was a tutor to the future Edward VI before becoming Queen.

Answer: Katherine Parr

Yes, in fact, she told Henry that she would rather be his mistress than his wife. She knew what kind of trouble she could get into.
16. This Queen's lover was Thomas Culpeper...her cousin!

Answer: Katherine Howard

Although before her marriage she had other men 'entertain' her, the affair that she was notorious for was the one with one of the King's men. The fact that they were related didn't sweeten the deal either.
17. She was actually treated as if she would one day rule England on her own.

Answer: Mary I

Even though Henry preferred a male heir rather than a girl to inherit the throne, Mary, titled the Princess of Wales, was regarded as the true heir of England. Later when Elizabeth was born, that title would be stripped from her and rather than be called 'My Lady Princess', she was called 'My Lady Mary'.
18. On Henry's death bed, he was heard to call Anne Boleyn's name.

Answer: false

Actually, he called for Jane when he was dying. After all, she gave him what he wanted...a son.
19. During what time period did the Tudor dynasty rule?

Answer: 1485-1603

The Tudor dynasty began at the Battle of Bosworth where Richard III was defeated by Henry VII and ended with the death of Elizabeth I.
20. Whose sister did Henry have an affair with?

Answer: Anne Boleyn-Mary

Henry had an affair with Mary Boleyn before Anne ever caught his eye. After Mary allegedly bore him two children whom he would not acknowledge, Anne Boleyn seemed much prettier than her sister.
