"When did the English first impose English laws on Wales and the Welsh?"

I said 14th Century and the correct answer was 16th Century.

"What proportion of the population of the UK were killed by the Black Death?"

I said a quarter and the correct answer was a third.

"Which kinds of skilled workers did not come to England in large numbers from Europe in the Middle Ages?"

I said engineers and the correct answer was carpenters.
