OK, how about an obscure royal one?

Who was the father of King Richard 1st? (aka Richard the Lionheart).

Henry II
'The Lion in Winter' is a great movie about the relationships within the ruling family.
Katherine Hepburn got an Oscar playing Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard's mom.
The DVD sits on my movie shelf between 'I, Claudius' and 'A Man for all Seasons', both also highly recommended.

The "your" was specific in my last statement, Mrs Ex-A is a very nice lady.

Even if she agreed with you, she wouldn't say it :D

No idea on the date, though I think Wodrick is in the right area. I believe his name is Erno.
