Hello, Claire here! I'm celebrating reaching 25,000 YouTube subscribers today by having a bit of fun at Tim's expense, although I am allowing Henry VIII and William Shakespeare to help him a bit.
Play along with us and see whether you can do better than Tim with these Tudor history questions (surely you can!). Get 1 point for each correct answer and question 16 is worth a possible 3 points. The questions are below, and then the answers below that, so please don't look ahead! Good luck!
