Nice one Mags...I am not very good at history, especially royal history.
I think I have learned the little I know through watching films.
I do remember seeing 'Anne of the thousand days' when I was young. Richard Burton played Henry the 8th...and an actress called Genevieve Bujold played Anne Boleyn.
I found that a lot more interesting than reading dusty books.

I will think up a little quiz shortly.

There could be all kinds of ways of picking an odd one out from these three. I'll say John because that really is his first name (Paul's isn't Paul, Ringo's isn't Ringo)

That's true, and if an answer comes up that is better than the one I am thinking of, it will be allowed.
Paul is his second birth name...so I won't allow that one.
There is a huge difference in the odd one out here, and that's FINAL (clue..)
