Thank You, knew Tagg and Monkey islands as local to me.

Open Floor, as no decent question to hand.

I can’t think of anyone married more than Mary Queen of Scots, who married three times I think, to Francis II, Darnley and Bothwell. She was buried in Peterborough but is now in Westminster Abbey.

Wildest of guesses: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Henry II's consort? Married three times? -- I know that before Henry she was with Louis of France, who was a dead loss as a spouse. Last resting place -- not the faintest idea, so I'll try -- again -- Westminster Abbey.

She was married twice and is buried at Fontevrault Abbey. It's not often I can inform @Calthrop. My favourite historical character (Eleanor, not @Calthrop).

@MotCO has it. Married twice before marrying bonking Henry, then married Thomas Seymour of Sudeley Castle only to die of childbirth complications a year later and just 20 months after old 'Enery.

Thanks to Mrs MotCO :)

There are eight countries which lie on the Greenwich Meridian. Please name them.
