Darn it, I was tempted to guess that based on the sole connection I knew that he casts her a whole lot…DQ granted.

Prof and MissTake, I haven’t forgotten about you, I’m holding off until the usual suspects (defined as the participants in the last game) have each had their three before I answer a second round of three.

  • research indicates Herbert Hoover fits.
  • research indicates Harry Potter fits
  • While Henry V was from the House of Lancaster, the Henry I was thinking of was the one who fought Richard III (I blame the parody of the St. Crispin’s Day speech in the first Blackadder), whom I have just found out was Henry VII. I can’t honourably claim success for giving an overly vague answer out of ignorance.
    1 DQ granted to SCAdian.
