Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who suggested using explosives to create a fire block during The Great Fire?

Answer: James Duke of York

Charles asked a London man why were so many houses still standing as they needed a fire block. James Duke of York said to get explosives and Charles II said better to lose half the city or lose it all.

2. What famous church in London was lost to The Great Fire?

Answer: St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul's Cathedral, 4 bridges, 13,000 households and 19 churches. True story both: Charles II, James and Monmouth tried to fight the Great Fire.

3. Who clearly wasn't happy to see Charles II and Nell Gwynn together?

Answer: Lady Castlemaine

She was bitterly depressed and jealous over Nell Gwynn and Charles II.

4. Fill in the Blank: Nell Gwynn: "I belong to the king. Not just because he bought me, but because I choose it. And as long as he wants me, I'll be his, and his alone. And you know what? I do love him. He's kind and decent, and he'll look after me. How's that for a ____________?"

Answer: Transaction

George of Buckingham: "I've seen many a lady turn into a whore, but I've never seen a whore make such a fine lady." Buckingham's obvious overtures to Nell didn't work she still loved the King even though he wasn't 100% loyal to her.

5. Who was Castlemaine in bed with when Charles II sent her away for good?

Answer: Capt. Churchill

Captain Churchill (which I assume is the future Duke of Marlborough) was given �500 by Castlemaine. Churchill told the King that he invested it in a pension so the King forgave him for he was doing it for his bread and butter.

6. What title was granted to Louise de K�rouaille by the King?

Answer: Duchess of Portsmouth

She gave Charles II a son named Charles the fourth such son named Charles. From her son three famous people descended from her: Sarah (Duchess of York), Diana Princess of Wales and Camilla Duchess of Cornwall.

7. Whom did James Duke of York marry after Anne Hyde's death?

Answer: Mary of Modena

No one liked the idea of a Catholic heir born to James, not even Charles II. James shouted at a select group of government men and Charles II, "It never should have been interrupted by the bastard usurper Elizabeth!"

8. Fill in the Blank: George of Buckingham: "Wait here to be ____________, or make your peace with the King...if you can."

Answer: Arrested

George of Buckingham: "For my part I am weary of Whitehall, I have neglected my wife these past twenty years. It is time I went home."
George was speaking to James of Monmouth who was supposed to be in exile with his cousin Mary (James of York's daughter) but he returned without the King's blessing.

9. Which mistress of Charles II had a gambling problem?

Answer: Louise de K�rouaille

As Louise was a member of the French aristocracy and waited on Charles' sister Henrietta she pretty much was guaranteed the title. Plus her tears and pleas also helped.

10. Who was at Charles II's deathbed?

Answer: James of York and Queen Catherine

Queen Catherine, who couldn't make him a loyal husband, was there for she truly loved him. Charles II asked James of York to look after Louise and let not poor Nelly starve. Charles: "You must look after my children. All save Monmouth. There's nothing anyone could do for him now."
