    a) The last king of the House of Austria was Charles II, who was weak and sickly character. It was impossible for Charles II had children (and he tried with many womens). Then, there were three heirs to the throne:
    Philip of Bourbon, Charles of Austria and Joseph Ferdinand of Bavaria, but Joseph Ferdinand of Bavaria died (believe that due for smallpox) just before Carlos II of Spain (the king). Then Carlos II left everything in his will to Philip V.

    b) I think it says that Austria, Holland and England declared war on France, and Savoy and Portugal were allies of France, but Portugal was an ally of Austria.

    a) The Louis XIV's grand-nephew (I don`t know if the kinship is said like that, but the video says something related with nephew). Because he was 2 years old.

    b) Savoy and Portugal didn't join France, they were allies of Charles of Austria, and not of Phillip V.

    1) The third claimant to the Throne of Spain was José Fernando of Braviera. He didn´t fight in the War because he died before the War of Succession, he died in 1699.

    2) The mistake is that Portugal didn´t support Spain and France. Portugal went with England and Holland and supported Austria.

    a) It was the Prince Joseph Fernando of Bavaria.
    It didn't fight because he died prematurely of chickenpox.

    b) The error is that in the video says that the allies were Spain and France. It wasn't so, they were the Netherlands, England and Austria.

KNIGHT TRAINING

Read this information and answer the quiz questions: Knights belonged to the noble class and were part of a military order, but not all soldiers could become knights.  Training began at a very young age. At 7, the son of a medieval nobleman or knight would be sent off to serve as a page in a lord's castle. There, he would learn horsemanship, archery and swordsmanship, and perform various other duties around the castle. Squires would begin training at age 14 years old. A squire's training concentrated on strength, fitness and skill with various weapons. Individual training was only part of the regimen, as knights also needed to know how to fight as part of a team of skilled horsemen. The squire would care for the knight's horse, clean the stables, polish the knight's armor and maintain his weapons. They would learn the chivalric codes of conduct and listen to epic tales of Roland, Charlemagne, Arthur, Percival and Lancelot. After years
