Ok here’s some History Trivia for you. What was the name of the son of the last czar of Russia and what was unique about him?

[Anonymous]

That is a weird story : Alexis was his name and he was haemophilic
His mother put all her faith in a monk by the name of Raspoutine who cured the child.
The country got then divided : was it a miracle or sorcellery ?
Raspoutine got killed by some high members of the russian army (colonel Youssoupov), but the monk was a tough guy, very tough guy : after he took cyanure in his wine, many bullets in his body, other several injuries as he got severely beaten, he was then drawn in a bag with his hands attached in his back…
When he was found, he was dead, but he had managed to deliver his hands, and his right hand was expressing the catholic sign !!! dropmouth.gif

[Garibaldi]

Was he Catholic? What was the sign he was expressing? The Sign of the Cross?

[Anonymous]

Yes, exactly, all were catholic, but what is called orthodox catholic.
Their sign of the cross is slightly different and their cross too.
But that is a true story as I forgot to mention that Raspoutine was drowned in the Neva in the middle of winter, meaning that the water had thick ice on it and was certainly extremely cold underneath that ice…
To follow, the Russian Empire began to crumble, little by little, ending in October 1917 at the end of World War I, where all the imperial family got killed by the bolcheviks in a remote forest.
It seems that there might have been one survivor, the girl, the Tsarin, but this is part of a legend that has never had any real answer.
I have visited all these places, before the fall of the Berlin wall ; it was kind of spooky and horrible on how all these events happened.

[Garibaldi]

Sounds like you’re a bit of a history buff! Great! icon_cheesygrin.gif

What about King John of England, what were some significant things about him?

[Anonymous]

Because he was the last born of 7 siblings, according to the law, he didn’t have any royal power. Actually it might have been a tradition rather than a law, I’m not sure

[Garibaldi]

What about during his reign? What did he do? Why are there no other King Johns like John II, John III, ect?
