Nice concept!

There are a few typos such as Captain Cooke and King Harold Godwinson. Also there might be a mistake in the description?

Nonetheless, I enjoyed the quiz :)

Great quiz. Nitpick on Macbeth. I'm pretty sure he's beheaded after death - it wasn't the cause. It just says he's slain onstage in the duel and carried off, then Macduff reenters later holding his head.

Oh dang. I just remembered the head at the end but misremembered the ending. Removed.

I liked this one, although it was quite difficult. I didn't know half of these people, much less their cause of death.
