FIND A WIFE FOR HENRY VIII

Posted on Monday 5 February 2007

Can you identify the most important qualities a prospective bride for Henry VIII should possess? Try your luck in eight categories. My bridal candidate’s final score was 22, giving this result:

To reward you for your diligence, the king will name you Earl of Nonesuch, grant you a seat on the Privy Council, estates of 100,000 acres in the lush Devon hills, valuable jewels and a collar of rubies, and, most notably, a song for lute composed by this most musical of monarchs to honor the power of love eternal.

Also see this series of art-based riddles about life in Tudor times … and the entire Six Wives site, really. It’s quite nicely done.
