Just wanted to make a quick comment. Queen Victoria reigned for 63 years not 64. She was in her 64th year but she died in Jan 1901 and would have had to make it to May to make 64 years.

Firstly you need to specify which Queen Mary, as Mary 1 ruled as co monarch with Philip 2 of Spain, and secondly Gut Fawkes was not a protagonist, he was an antagonist and a terrorist

Could the Queen Mary question be made a little clearer? One might mistake the answer for the consort of Mary Tudor and go for Philip II of Spain. A trap which I, myself, fell into!

Tricky - what with George Cadbury also being a Quaker I was stuck for a while there!
