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 ?

 

[Knight-Dragon]

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...

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

 

[Yui108]

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

 

[scy12]

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.

 

[Mirc]

Well that was a hint in itself.

 

[Vandal Warlord]

Hmmm.. Emperor Emanuel?

 

[scy12]

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

 

[Vandal Warlord]

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:

[philippe]

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