I also tried Boudicea, lucky I managed to drop the e when I started guessing. -- On the note of spelling, I tried "Welles" for Wells and got accepted. It's two totally different people. Shouldn't we keep them separate?
Is «Brittonic» a better term for the B answer instead of «British»?. She was a ruler during the Roman occupation. Im not an anglophone, but i taught that Britons was referring to the Celtic people living in the British isles.
Great quiz, though the interweb is telling me Octavian was the first Emperor of Rome. Happy to be proved wrong.
Three questions about US Presidents seems OTT. Surely there are other historical figures with those initials. Heck, even other American historical figures if you really wanna keep it as American answers. Three Presidents just seems like unnecessary duplication.
Octavian (Augustus) WAS the first emperor of Rome. But that's not the question. You should name the first Holy Roman Emperor. The Holy Roman Empire was a confederation of kingdoms in Central Europe in the Middle Ages that had (almost) nothing to do with Romans.
Perhaps the clue for Lenin should be amended to "birth surname" as to not stump the quiztaker. To me, personally, "birth name" resonates more so with first name. But that's just me.
