Question 22 • World History

Which of these events happened first in English history?

Answer
A
King John signed the Magna Carta.
B
William the Conqueror became king of England.
C
Parliament divided into two houses.
D
Henry II ruled over all of England.

Explanation

William the Conqueror became king of England in 1066, after the Battle of Hastings. Henry II ruled later, beginning in 1154, and King John signed the Magna Carta in 1215. Parliament divided into two houses later still, so William’s accession happened first.
