I will go first:

1200's AD the Mongol's invaded Eastern Europe.

Hint: He was Gengis Khan's greatest general.

Subutai .

Khan Subutai s correct!

See this link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_%28title%29).

Great. :D

What was the title of the person who founded the Tughlaq dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate?

Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq.

Wow, you got that so fast without Googling? :p

Your turn.

(not that I doubt you, just asking because of the great fast answer :D)

Your turn.

Actually i did use Google. But i learned some things in the process. Anyway my turn.

Here is a question that may not require google.

Who is the emperor who is attributed at making the bigger effort at attempting to reunite the Catholic church with the Orthodox one ? And subsequently failing ?

Khan ? Subutai was no Khan, he was a general.Batu, grandson of Genghis Khan, was officially in charge of the campaign, but Subotai was the one keeping an eye on things...

Batu, grandson of Genghis Khan, was officially in charge of the campaign, but Subotai was the one keeping an eye on things...

That may be true, but Subutai was the answer I was looking for.

Who is the emperor who is attributed at making the bigger effort at attempting to reunite the Catholic church with the Orthodox one ? And subsequently failing ?

Was it a Byzantine Emperor? If so my guess would be Emperor Alexius (Comneus?)

Either Lexius or one of the final ones, who really needed to kiss the west's arse.

Was it a Byzantine Emperor? If so my guess would be Emperor Alexius (Comneus?)

No it was not Alexius ... I don't have to give more hints , when you are so near at finding it out.

Well that was a hint in itself. :D

Hmmm.. Emperor Emanuel?

Correct , how did yo find it out ? Your turn.

In truth, I didn't even have to google it. When I said alexius, and you said it was close I just guessed him, I would have guess Alexius' son John next.


My turn again:

In 1080 AD who was the King of Scotland? And how old was he?

Malcolm III of Scotland. I don't know his age though.

Malcolm is right, his age may be trickey though. My only hint is he was twelve years away from dieing.

I/m going to pass over the quiz to philippe, because Malcolm's age is truly difficult-50 was the answer I was looking for.

Hehe, even your fellow Scottish say so in "trainspotting" :p

How was william wallace excecuted

Was he skinned alive , while shouting FREEEDOMMMM from the top of his lungs ?

and what happened with his body parts

Most sources claim that they where eaten with some red chianti and fava beens by the English aristocracy.


in which towns were they displayed

Those which where not eaten where displayed in all cities of the world.


what happened to William's head?

It was used by Aristocrats* as a new method for raping Scots.



* The point of this answer can be found in the aristocrats jokes (They are named "The aristocrats) which are meant to be the most offending and disgusting things one can think for a situation.



Well have i won ? My turn ?

the plague.

edit: oops, didnt recognize there was a next page... :)

Quoted from Wikipedia:
Following the trial, on 23 August 1305, Wallace was taken from the hall, stripped naked and dragged through the city at the heels of a horse to the Elms at Smithfield. He was hanged, drawn and quartered — strangled by hanging but released while still alive, emasculated, eviscerated and his bowels burnt before him, beheaded, then cut into four parts. His preserved head was placed on a pike atop London Bridge. It was later joined by the heads of his brothers, John, and Simon Fraser. His limbs were displayed, separately, in Newcastle, Berwick, Stirling, and Aberdeen.

ok, bonus question: what happened on this day 706 years ago?

July 11 - Battle of the Golden Spurs (Guldensporenslag in Dutch): Flanders gains a major victory over the French.

Ok then.

OK, I just wanted to give life back to this thread so here is the Q:

Who was King of Scotland at 1314?

Hint: He was also crowned High-King of Ireland, after freeing them from the cruel English.

Ok then.

île-de-France?

île-de-France?

Yes, I recently found out that it wasn't an Isle. :(

Robert Bruce?

Oui! Sydhe is up! Or Philipe? Who ever posts their Q First then!

Louis I, Philippe I and Joanna of a certain family are generally felt to be unwittingly responsible for disasters in two European countries. What happened?

If it helps, these are all Bourbons.

Are these French?

Are these French?
Yeah. The most I can remember is that Louis I and Joanna were both as nutty as a Payday bar. Terrible pun with 'unwittingly' eh wot. :p I suppose the lunacy added to the succession issues that the Valois had, leading to the Hundred Years' War, which was not too much fun for England and France...but that wouldn't explain Philippe I.

That's more or less. Louis I was the father of Philippe who was the father of Joanna, and all of them were mentally unstable, and it was hereditary. Joanna's son was Charles VI (the Mad), whose insanity did so much to ruin France in the early 15th century. His grandson was Henry VI of England, whose insanity led to the Wars of the Roses.

Terrible pun with 'unwittingly' eh wot. :p I suppose the lunacy added to the succession issues that the Valois had, leading to the Hundred Years' War, which was not too much fun for England and France...but that wouldn't explain Philippe I.

Oops, it was Pierre I, not Philippe. Philippe was Joanna's half-brother and as far as I know wasn't nuts, just incompetent. No wonder people got confused.

You're up.

Floor's open.

I'll take a crack at it:

When was the High-Kingdom of Ireland demolished?

I'll take a crack at it:

When was the High-Kingdom of Ireland demolished?

You're right! The Exact Date is not, completely set in stone.
