Cochise. 1 top answer, 2pts 6 correct, 1pt 18 top answer, 2pts - could be pulled by dogs as well. 20 1pt for the answer, but coup meaning 'blow' meant a physical touch of a living enemy during battle to enable this. 22 0.5 for Cochise, but he died in 1874 so I'm looking for his famous successor.

4 Sherry 22 Cochise, the only Apache I can think of. 22 that one's gone now, there were several sub-divisions of the Apache tribe. 4 correct for 1pt. Sherry wine became popular here after Francis Drake sacked Cadiz in 1587. However the name 'sack' comes instead from 'saca' referring to the extraction from the solera: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SoleraLeaderboard: 1 BB Warrior 16.5pts 2 BigPhilMac 6pts 3 SpecialOne 4.5pts 7,11,12,23 & 24 left. |

7. Christtopher Marlowe 11. Henry VIII? He strikes me as a bit power mad! 12. Henry VII and Henry VIII? 7 correct, 1pt 11 correct, 1pt - plus 1pt for the comment. A bit of a gangster ! Loved the portrayal of him by Ray Winstone, kept expecting him to come out with "Result !" ;D 12 can't argue with the theory, but it's not the answer (which is a pair of royal advisers) so 0.5pt bonus only.

12. The Earl of Oxford and his step-father Lord Stanley? half-point each bonus for this pair but they were influential during the reigns of the Henrys......the pair that match the answer shaped policy during Elizabethan times (more about Catholics and Protestants rather than Lancastrians and Yorkists). They hailed from the Lincs/Rutland area. Leaderboard: 1 BB Warrior 16.5pts 2 BigPhilMac 10.5pts 3 SpecialOne 4.5pts 4 GandalftheUntidy 2pts |

12 william and robert CECIL advisors to Elizabeth 1st Yes, top answer to finish (2pts). Cecil's long term goal was a united and Protestant British Isles, an objective to be achieved by completing the conquest of Ireland and by creating an Anglo-Scottish alliance. With the land border with Scotland safe, the main burden of defence would fall upon the Royal Navy, Cecil proposed to strengthen and revitalise the Navy, making it the centerpiece of English power. He was also behind the execution of Mary Queen of Scots who as a Catholic had conflicting interests.Final points: 1 BB Warrior 16.5pts 2 BigPhilMac 10.5pts 3 SpecialOne 4.5pts 4 GandalftheUntidy 4pts |
