Foreword

Our first Power book was all about numbers, the second about people, the third about music and the fourth about language. We then published Power Quiz ’18 and now present our second in that series.

Readers should be aware that lists like these are never complete and it’s possible that more than the odd error may have crept in so if you propose to use any of the information contained herein, please remember that it is your own responsibility to verify it before such use.

We have generally stuck with the simplified English alphabet and apologise to those who like their accents, graves and cedillas. Remember – this is not Wikipedia!

PS – the answers are not at the back – just turn the page.

Dedicated to quiz setters and all those who love to quiz.

Most of these pages are in a ‘list-matching’ format which means that the answers are apparent but in the wrong order. A few pages, where this would not work, may have differing formats - for instance anagrams or simple quiz questions.

The Normans

The Conqueror or The Bastard (1066-1087)

Henry I

Rufus (1087-1100)

Stephen

Beauclerc, Lion of Justice (1100-1135)

William I

The Irresolute (1135-1154)

William II
