These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-10-02,
and should be interpreted accordingly.

On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.

All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".

I wrote one of these rounds.

* Game 3, Round 9 - History - After Edward

In each case, name the successor to King Edward. Some of them
had soubriquets or surnames that are sometimes used, but in each
case we want their given name and, if applicable, regnal number --
for example, Charles III.

Be careful of table talk on this round.

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?

* Game 3, Round 10 - Canadiana Challenge Round

This is the Canadiana round.

* A. Prime Ministers

A1. Name *any one* of the federal ridings represented by Sir
John A. Macdonald during his political career.

A2. Name *any one* of the federal ridings represented by William
Lyon Mackenzie King during his political career.

code starts with E?

B2. Which province or territory do you live in if your postal
code starts with Y?

* C. Provinces

C1. Which province was the last one to give women the right to
vote in provincial elections?

C2. When this province was created in 1870, it was nicknamed the
"postage-stamp province". Which province?

* D. Governor-General

D1. The Governor-General of Canada has two official residences.
One is Rideau Hall in Ottawa. Name the other.

D2. From 1867 to 1931, the Governor-General was appointed by
the Crown from a list approved by the Canadian government,
but only after consultation with which British body?

* E. Cities

E1. Name the original and oldest section of Vancouver.

E2. Bylaws in Montreal state that no building in the city may
extend higher than what other structure?

* F. Civil Disobedience

F1. Which city was shut down by a general strike in 1919?

F2. Riot police and the army were involved in a sometimes violent
conflict with Mohawk protesters in 1990, near which Quebec
town?

I realize that this instruction was intended for the pub players rather than the rec.games.trivia crowd, but I'm not sure why it was particularly directed toward this round.

Because successive questions sometimes refer to successive monarchs.
