Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Why was Warwick against Edward IV's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville in the series premiere, "In Love With the King?"

Answer: He wanted him to marry a French princess because he had a secret deal with France.

Warwick was Edward IV's cousin because his mother Cecily was the sister of Warwick's father.
2. How many children did Elizabeth Woodville have with her first husband, who supported the House of Lancaster against Edward IV and the House of York?

Answer: 2

Elizabeth Woodville had 2 sons with her first husband, Richard Grey, named Thomas and Richard who would play a valuable role in later years during the War of the Roses.
3. In which episode did Warwick marry his daughter Isabel to Edward IV's brother George as a sign of defiance against Edward because of his marriage to Elizabeth?

Answer: "The Price of Power"

Because he was upset with Edward (due to his marriage for love instead of agreeing to the alliance and ruining his secret deal with France), Warwick decided that he would make George king in order to defy Edward and that's why he married him to his daughter Isabel.
4. Why did Elizabeth Woodville want revenge on George and his father-in-law Warwick in the episode, "The Storm?"

Answer: They murdered her father and brother without a trial.

Elizabeth Woodville wanted revenge because they murdered her father and brother simply because they were supporters of Edward IV and they wanted to dethrone him.
5. What kind of death did Edward say that George, the fool, had chosen in the episode "Poison and Malmsey Wine?"

Answer: He said that he had chosen a fool's death.

George chose to be drowned in malmsey wine because he knew that would humiliate Elizabeth since he knew that she loved malmsey wine as it was her favorite.
6. Which episode had Edward, George, and Richard murder Henry VI in order to remove all claims by the House of Lancaster to the throne?

Answer: "War At First Hand"

Edward's wife Elizabeth saw her husband, along with his brothers, murder the old mad king Henry in his sleep with a pillow in order to avenge their father.
7. Why was Richard crowned king instead of Edward's son, Edward V in the episode, "Long Live the King"?

Answer: He claimed that he was illegitimate as Edward had been married before.

Richard's wife, Anne, and his mother persuaded him to have Edward's sons declared illegitimate out of fear that his brother's widow would have them executed as traitors and her family would be rewarded just like they were during Edward IV's reign.
8. In which episode did Margaret and Elizabeth arrange the marriage of their children?

Answer: "The Princes in the Tower"

Since Elizabeth Woodville thought that her sons were dead, and that Richard was to blame for their murders, she corresponded with Margaret and betrothed their children in order to finally bring the peace Elizabeth's father Edward desperately wanted.
9. In which episode was Elizabeth's mother Jacquetta accused of witchcraft by Warwick and turned to her old friend Margaret of Anju as a character witness?

Answer: "The Bad Queen"

Having served Margaret of Anju as a lady-in-waiting and saying that she was there for her during the joyous years of her life and her husband Henry's reign, Jacquetta knew that Margaret would be willing to testify as a character witness for her in her trial.
10. In which episode did Richard and his family order his brother Edward's mistress Jane Shore out of the palace, by claiming that his widow was grieving and for her to leave?

Answer: "Long Live the King"

11. In which episode was Warwick killed by Edward's army after George returned to the side of his brothers?

Answer: "War at First Hand"

12. How did Anne Neville continue to refer to herself even though her father had died in battle?

Answer: She called herself the kingmaker's daughter.

Anne and her sister Isabel were considered the kingmaker's daughters because their father, the Earl of Warwick, was known to make men become kings. He turned his cousin Edward IV into a king and tried to turn his brother George, Duke of Clarence, into a king by marrying him to his daughter Isabel.
13. Why did Richard visit Elizabeth and his brother Edward's children in sanctuary?

Answer: He wanted them to know that he was innocent and to have a truce.

14. Why did Margaret Beaufort want people bowing to her in the episode, "The Final Battle?"

Answer: She was the mother of the king.

As Henry's mother, Margaret Beaufort demanded that she be given the respect that was due since she was now mother to the king of England.
