Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category 19th Century People) for Friday, September 29, 2017:
On June 28, 1838 an archbishop jammed a ring made for her little finger onto her 4th; she had to soak it in ice water to get it off
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s contestants:
Jim Bickford, an attorney from Aurora, Colorado
Colin O’Bannon, a pool room owner from Columbus, Ohio
Austin Rogers, a bartender from New York, New York (3-day total: $96,100)
The 1838 coronation of Queen Victoria is generally considered to be the last of the “botched coronations”. (I’m sure our champion Austin would use more colorful language to describe it.) There was very little rehearsal, and it showed in that the Archbishop of Canterbury put Victoria’s sovereign ring on the wrong finger, and it only came off with great pain.
For coronations that followed after Victoria’s 1901 death, British historians devised a coronation program that was much better rehearsed in order to prevent these mishaps from occurring again.
