(3) Q. What do you know of Anselm?
A. Anselm Archbishop of Canterbury was imprisoned by William II. He escaped from prison by the aid of a coil of rope sent to him concealed in a bottle of wine.
(Note: In the second of the above three answers the last sentence puzzles me. I am inclined to suggest “Puritans” for “Pilgrim Fathers,” and “denounced” for “kept sacred.” The third answer gave me much trouble, but patient search showed that Henry II. (not William) imprisoned Flambard (not Anselm, and no Bishop) and that the rope was hidden in a jar (not a bottle).)
(4) Freedom of Trade may be attributed to General Washington who entered the Bristol Channel with a cargo of tea from America which was upset by the English causing a war with the Americans.
(5) Q. Name three Prime Ministers: describe the policy of one of them.
A. Edmund Burke, Walter Scott, Bothwell. Bothwell was a great writer: he wrote about bills and cheques.
(Note: Bothwell and Boswell one knows, though not as Prime Ministers: but it was Byles who wrote on Bills, and it would be strange if the candidate had ever heard of his work.)
(6) Q. Mention with dates any risings in the times of the Tudors.
A. In the rising of Jack Cade he mustered up a large number of rebels who under there desperate leader plundered everything before them, and finally entered London of which they took possession. Cade was slain by Wallworth the Lord Mayor, and the rebels without their leader became so desperate that the king’s life was in danger, but Henry took off his helmet and exclaimed stay I am Henry of Winchester, kill not your king.
(Note: Cade is blended with Wat Tyler, who was killed by Walworth in presence of Richard II.: neither Cade nor Tyler lived in Tudor times. Henry of Winchester, alias Henry III., made his appeal in 1265, nearly 200 years before the first Tudor king.)
