Thanks! It wasn't easy. But, sadly, there won't be a 13th century A-Z.

Mostly Crusades and Mongols. The average score is 15, only 2 behind this one, and a few answers could probably be replaced with easier stuff if you wanted to dumb it down.

Great seris of quizzes, those last two were tough. There were four or five answers that I had no notion about.

I just read up on the St. Scholastica day riot. Very interesting. Essentially a barfight that got out of hand and lasted 2 days.

I imagine there must have been building tensions between the locals and the students for quite a while before the incident

Sorry to be a pedant but William Wallace was "hanged", drawn and quartered. Pictures are hung, humans are hanged.

People really don't care about some irregular verb being correct versus incorrect due to some buffoon "rule".

Please correct the clue to 'hanged', drawn and quartered instead of 'hung'. According to the Oxford Dictionary, the only correct past tense for this sense of the word 'hang' is 'hanged', not 'hung'.

To be fair, there is literally a featured article for "Hanged, drawn, and quartered" on Wikipedia, and "Hung, drawn, and quartered" is a redirect to that very page.

Agreed. To say a person is hung is....rather inappropriate.

Hey, just wanted to say that it should be 'insect' instead of 'animal' at letter F, as it could be confused with rat.

Rat doesn't begin with an F though so it can't be the answer, and insects are animals.
