* Game 3, Round 9 - History - After Edward
1. King Edward I of England died in 1307, and was succeeded by
his oldest son still living. The son's reign lasted 20 years,
but with wars and rebellions it got worse and worse and he was
finally forced to abdicate, and then died, probably by murder.
The details are unknown, but since he may have been homosexual,
legend has it that his punishment was a red-hot poker --
used rectally. Be that as it may, name Edward I's successor.
2. As you just heard, King Edward II of England abdicated in 1327.
His 14-year-old son succeeded to the throne and his reign lasted
50 years. For the first 3 years Roger Mortimer was his regent,
until the young king had Mortimer killed. Later this king
developed England as a military power -- until it got stuck
in the Hundred Years' War with France. Name that successor
of Edward II.
3. When King Edward III of England died in 1377, his 10-year-old
grandson took the throne, at first with a council of regents.
He reigned until 1399, but was seen as more and more tyrannical
over time, and (like Edward II) he was finally deposed.
Shakespeare wrote a play about this successor of Edward III:
who was he?
4. During the Wars of the Roses, Edward IV was King of England
twice. He took the throne in 1461 when his predecessor was
deposed, but Edward IV himself was deposed in 1470 and that
predecessor resumed the throne -- for only 6 months until he
was deposed a second time in favor of Edward IV. Who was this
first successor -- and predecessor -- to Edward IV? The two
men were third cousins, both great-great-grandsons of Edward III.
5. When King Edward IV of England died in 1483, this time his
successor was his 12-year-old son, who reigned for less than
3 months. His problem was his uncle, a duke, who was named
regent, or Lord Protector as he was called. This uncle wanted
the throne for himself. So he arranged for Edward IV's accession
to be retroactively declared invalid, thus nullifying the
boy's accession. Then he had the boy imprisoned and apparently
murdered. Who was this boy, the short-lived second successor
to Edward IV?
6. You've just heard what happened to King Edward V of England.
His successor was that nasty uncle, another man that Shakespeare
wrote a play about. He ruled for only 2 years before dying
in the last battle of the Wars of the Roses. Who was it that
succeeded Edward V?
7. When Edward VI was King of England, he and his council of regents
tried to manipulate the succession law in favor of a Protestant
-- specifically, Edward's 16-year-old first-cousin-once-removed.
But when Edward died at age 15, this arrangement didn't stick,
and *she* was soon executed (to avoid any dispute). Who was
this girl, the short-lived successor to Edward VI?
8. The second and official successor of King Edward VI of England
was his Catholic half-sister, who for 5 years was England's
first undisputed queen regnant. Name her.
9. When King Edward VII of the United Kingdom died in 1910, he
had one living son, who reigned until 1936. Name this successor
to Edward VII.
10. When King Edward VIII of the United Kingdom abdicated in 1936,
he was succeeded by his oldest brother. Who was that?
