I'm stuck on the following clue in this quiz. All the answers are names of rivers anywhere in the world.
"Banker of Kings and Queens it is said".
Also, has anyone worked out the significant order of answers because that might help me?

I forgot to say that the banker of kings and Queens has 3 letters in the answer.
I'm also needing help with the following 2 questions.
Fishing tackle is intense round about Exmouth (5-4)
Man in lime tree became this viscount (4,8).

Again all the answers are rivers.

Fishing tackle is intense round about Exmouth - anagram of intense +e (beginning of Exmouth)gives seine nets? - fishing tackle

There is both a Kings and Queens college in Cambridge- could it be Cam?

Betty : The viscount was tricky. I looked up all the eight letter rivers in England and then went to an encyclopedia. Must admit I'd never heard of him but "he evolved the mathematical theory of aircraft spin" and was a friend of Winston Churchill. There - that's easy!

Unusually, for this puzzle I have not found any significant order. That's not to say there isn't one.

9) Answer is an American happily dominated by another. Midland river comes into it.
19) See above
27) Hadn't heard of this one. Suggest you look up 4 letter rivers in the south east.
