The top 10 questions I would love to ask historical figures

Most of the blog so far has been pretty heavy.  Don’t get me wrong, that’s kind of the point.  I need an outlet for my intense musings on the big questions and love discussing such epic matters with others.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun as well.  To that effect, I’ve compiled a list of 10 questions I would love to put to our Royal forebears but, sadly will never be able to.

Here we go:

Elizabeth I – “You were the virgin Queen – I get that.  But what does that actually mean…?”

Richard III – “Come on now…own up.  How close to the truth was Thomas More?”

Queen Anne – “If you knew you were going to be the last monarch to veto an act of Parliament, would you have vetoed a few more?”

Katherine Parr – “Was Seymour worth the wait?”

Mary I – “In hindsight, might it have been worth taking a chill pill?”

Henry VIII – “Catherine Howard.  Adultery.  How did you not see that one coming?”

Margaret Beaufort – “Did you really have a vision telling you to marry Edmund Tudor?”

Princess Beatrice – “What was the juiciest  thing you cut out of Queen Victoria’s diary?”

Henry VI – “Do you think Edward was your boy?”

Richard II – “Seriously.  Dude.  What happened there?”

Okay geeks over to you…what questions would YOU like to put to the Royals of Britain’s past.

  1. I think to Mary Queen of Scots – what we’re you even thinking when you married him?!

    To Phillip II of Spain. Would you have rather have had Elizabeth than Mary?

    To Thomas Cromwell – what was Henry VIII really like and should he really have married Anne?

    To Warwick the Kingmaker – do you regret changing sides? What would you do differently?

    1. These are great questions. I think you would have got the following answers:

      Mary Queen of Scots – “Oh but he was so dreamy.”

      Philip – “Elizabeth. Definitely Elizabeth.”

      Warwick – “I wouldn’t have had to change sides if if wasn’t for THAT woman.
