The winner: The Great Gareth.
That ends the recent run of history questions and at this point in the quiz as a whole: Gareth has a total of eight wins; The Legendary Lloyd & Kerry have five; Jane Shuttle has five; Gaynor Williams has three; and there are 11 readers with two wins or one. All these results are carefully inscribed in copperplate handwriting in a ledger of honour here at Jones Towers overlooking the glamorous west end of Rhyl.
