1. 2, 2. 2, 3. 3, 4. 2, 5. 3, 6. 2, 7. 3, 8. 3, 9. 2, 10. 1
Agree with all Lauren’s answers above except 5. I’d say it’s John Nash, #1.
Great quiz, Jerrica!
Ditto Marnee’s response. I just posted on Nash at my blog. I love these quizzes! My characters would be familiar with all those locations, including Marshalsea. Gasp!
Yikes – I wish I knew more than I did! I am sadly behind, especially since I’m a regency writer myself! I have no idea what/where Marshalsea is, and not a clue who the architect of the era was. As for Prinny, he became King George the [mumble mumble] 😉 Fun quiz!
Thanks, everyone, for playing my Regency game!
After a random drawing, the winner of the contest is…
Angelyn!
Congrats, Angelyn – I’ll send you an email shortly 🙂
