ing evertwhereQUESTION ONE
1 H (The good old Darien Project, some historians believe it was a catalyst for Scotland's Union with England)
2 C (King John swore fealty and paid homage to Pope Innocent III)
3 B
4 E (Legend has it that a bunch of Swedish Vikings were attacking a convent in Scotland - out of fear of being raped, the abbess asked her nuns to lop their noses off so that they'd be too ugly to rape. It worked, the Vikings didn't rape them and burnt the convent down)
5 D (Ekranoplan!)

10 I (It's a monument to Chernobyl)
QUESTION TWO
I - England. Note that I used the term "conquered" very loosely but in order, the Kingdom was ruled by the Romans, Normans, the Stuarts, the Oranges and the Hanovers
II - Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar. He was shot by a marksman and his body was placed in a cask of rum to keep the body from stinking. The sailors then drank the cask after the body was removed.
III - Toothpaste.
IV - The time was October 1945 (i.e. the War was over), and the event was a typhoon
V - Own goal
VI - There is no Constitution. Tricked you!

QUESTION THREE

III - Comoros
IV - Lopping his balls off
V - The AD 535 Catastrophe Theory

"Aristotle very much the man in form" - very good - not spotted that before. Not sure why Leibniz is in nineteenth-century clothes though...
