When my Henry VII biography gets adapted as a screenplay, I think I'll recommend Bill Nighy for the title role. He's a good actor and, seriously, check out the resemblance:
Side note: while looking for Henry VII pictures, I found this quiz. The highlight is the childrens' drawings of the monarchs the quiz asks about. (The third Henry VIII? Spot on!)
Well done! Did you enjoy when the quiz gently corrected you when you got an answer wrong? I did. (You know, when I went back through a second time and answered stuff wrong on purpose. In case you were wondering if I missed questions aimed at children on a topic in which I am currently pursuing a post-graduate degree.) (But, of course, I'm not insulting anybody else for getting any wrong, because it's aimed at British children, who have a better shot at knowing these things.)
According to the score, I got a 77%, but I only got 12/20 right the first time. I figure that's not too bad, considering I have heard almost nothing about British history since my sophomore year in high school....which was 10 years ago!
I got 17 out of 20 correct.
