Murderous Monarchs Quiz
A fun distraction, even if a few of the questions are based on rumor.

I got a 9/10, but a few of mine were guesses as well. I didn't have to guess on Nero, however. I'm pretty sure my fifth novel will focus on his reign, and if they'd had room for a choice "e" they could have added "his step-brother". What a disturbed man.Annis: I stuffed up on Nero- I hadn't remembered that he'd disposed of quite so many family members.
7/10 for me. I guessed on some and I forgot which Richard did it. Oh well, not too bad of a showing!

Well, at the risk of getting way ahead of myself, it will probably be about Caligula's reign, which was.. well, filled with debauchery and all around insanity. Probably there was a little less debauchery than was actually reported by his enemies, but there was debauchery nevertheless. He was also said to have tried to make his horse a Consul, which has to count for something in the eccentric department.
hmmm. Interesting topic to choose for a 4th book.
And I do remember hearing about the horse thing.

Annis: Agrippina definitely did not have an easy life. Although she didn't make it easy for others either (and had quite a bit of blood on her hands). I'm not sure who did have a good life in ancient Rome. In Cleopatra's Daughter, most of my characters had parents who committed suicide. I was lucky to find a protagonist who at least found great love (Cleopatra's daughter).
