com. Hello and welcome to a special edition of BBC History Magazine's regular podcast. And this time it's our Christmas History Pub Quiz.

I'm Dave Musgrove, the magazine's editor, and I'm here with our Quizmaster, Justin Pollard. Hi, Justin. How yeah? Now, I suspect that some of you might be listening to this in a post-Christmas dinner thug with the last of the summer wine on the background. So Justin and I are going to attempt to drag you out of your torpor with seven rounds of historical questions.

Each round of six questions is themed around a subject and we'll give you the answers at the end of each round. So there's no surprise, this is just for fun.

So without further ado, we'll get on into the quiz. First round is entitled, Ouch. So over to you, Justin. Okay, here we go. They're all multiple choice. Question one. Hannah Twinoy was sitting in a pub in Malmsbury in 1703 when she became the first person in Britain to be, was it A, arrested

for income tax evasion, B, poisoned with cyanide, or C, eaten by a tiger? Now, regular readers

to the magazine might remember that, the answer to that question from our recent Mysterious

Memorials competition, so have a look back in the mag if you don't know that one.

Excellent. Easy one to start with then. Okay, let's ramp it up a bit. Number two, why did the Earl of Oxford leave Elizabeth the first court for seven years? Was it A, because he was suspected of treason?
