End of the torture... Loulong, shame on you! You get the worst score with several French questions! Boooo!
1) My first name is Stephane, and my son's his Aymeric (other spelling Emeric). Why is it a funny coincidence historically speaking ? (hint : look circa 1000 AD).
Because St Emeric was the son of St Istvan (Stephen), the first king of Hungary
No one answered...
2) What happened exactly 181 years before my birth day?
The beheading of Louis XVI 2/4
3) According to the original law, what is celebrated every 14th of July in France?
It is NOT Bastille day, but the "Fete de la Federation" 2/4
4) Midway was the first Japanese naval defeat since what year?
1598, korean turtle ships 1/4 (pawpaw got it).
I gave 0.3 to PrivateHudson for Yalu river, because he hadn't the date (1894), and the Chinese themselves consider it a Japanese victory, although some foreigners consider it a Japanese defeat.
5) What happened the 27th of October 1582?
Nothing... October 1582 had only 21 days (Pope Gregory XIII calendar reform )
No one answered it.
6) What French unit landed in Normandy on DDay?
The Kiefer commando, at Ouistreham, with the British No correct answer.
7) What battle ended the massive presence of Reitres in the French army?
Auneau, 1587 1/4 (Loulong). The Reitres numbered 7000 in French army at the highest, they were massacred at Auneau, the castle moat was filled with armor and helmets, peasants used it for years as an "iron mine"
8) William Tell is a famous Swiss, hero of the fight for independance. But there is another hero, who allowed the victory of Sempach. Who is he? What did he do exactly?
Arnold Struttham of Winkelried. The Swiss couldn't break the Austrian line of spears. Winkelried sacrified himself, throwing his body at the spears, and taking as many with his arms to create a breach in the ennemy defense line. Congratulation to Gagliaudo who got it right!
9) When was the first French Royal guard created? What was the nationality of their members? Who was the first king to hire mercenaries from there?
Philippe August was the first to hire scottish mercenaries in the French army. In 1453, they become the only royal guard 2/4 (but partial)
10) In what battle was Charles the Bold killed? Against what forces? Who betrayed him?
Nancy, 1477, against Swiss and Lorraine (Duke René). He was betrayed by Basso Cambo, his "trusted" captain, just before the battle Several good answers, except no one found who betrayed him
