Title: Solve it if you can
Post by theriddlemaster on Aug 21^st, 2014, 5:51am

Hi all,

I can see there is a pretty good forum about riddles here. So here are the news. Visit my blog: themysterybay.com and if you solve my riddles I will pay you. It is so simple. However, the riddles are not. So, let's see what you've got.
My riddles require real knowledge to be solved.
See you.

I found two of the 4 inaccuracies so far; unless possible misspellings count.
* [hide]Athelm wasn't Archbishop 'till a few years later (between 925-925)[/hide]
* [hide]Tomatoes weren't available in Europe 'till hundreds of years later.[/hide]

After a little searching around, it seems that [hide]forks would not appear at such a royal feast before the 1600s, which is unfathomable to me[/hide].

If [hide]"his great hall at Winchester" refers to the remaining great hall of Winchester castle[/hide], then [hide]it wasn't built until 1222-1235[/hide], but [hide]I don't see why there might not have been another great hall before[/hide].
