I almost banned you for this, Jamiet!
But since you're an expert in the field of apricot, I'd like to buy some apricot tree leaves to refute them in the house, never in the garden.

Why don't you delete the whole thread?

Why only delete the bot?

I didn't want to ruin your work.

Free guess: Mike Tyson

I believe that Mike Tyson is a bit older than 22.

Jamiet99uk claims that "1900s" refers exclusively to a decade.

He's wrong, of course, and owes us that question back!

Oh, I missed that part (joining in late). So '1900s' refers purely to the period of 1900-1909?

Hmm, I'm not sure and maybe totally wrong, but there is something on my radar the whole time and I'm not sure if that fit ... but Texas and the region is still considered Southern US and the stuff, right, so maybe, maybe it was some sort of Cowboy or Texas Ranger, or someone from the wild west, but...

A scientist?

My standard question: was he a native speaker of English?

But I understand, of course. British people are very sensitive when it comes to remembering national humiliations. ;-) I should be pursuing a PhD in Iberian studies to even begin comprehending why, as a British person, I should feel national humiliation. On top of that, the event took place before ...

I've founded days of death for Luis da Sousa as 12/15 and 12/25, but no cause of death listed Wikipedia says he was born in 1644 and died in 1721. That fits. I guess it's as good a guess as any, but what did he do that was considered really big and why would the far-right want to have a film made a...

Was he some kind of military commander or officer? Because the question didn't leave much room for royalty, who by this period of European history weren't often commanders Uh, I mean, that's wrong. Lots of the people in the list I posted were both military leaders and members of their country's roy...

You guys should be careful on how you interpret my answer to the 'natural causes' question. It's not a matter of sources being unclear about what type of natural causes befell the hero of our story. Some sources flat out say that this individual died of something other than natural causes. As I alw...

Did he have a Royal title?

As in, was he a king? Or are you asking whether he received a title from a king?

Was he of royal lineage?

I would go for Loius XIV, but the cause of his death was exceptionally well documented.

Native speaker of a Romance language?

My guess John III Sobieski?

@JECE: does 'sword' include sabre?

[...] the discussion is kinda distracting from the game, I think? I mean it's good to talk about it but we shouldn't forget the game. With this, I fully agree. We don't want to hijack this particular game to try to narrow our divide. I'd propose that from now on the first question asked be related ...

5. often been portrayed with a sword
9. born after 1.1.1500

Depicting him with a word may then carry a purely symbolic meaning given that battlefield relevance of melee weapons rapidly declined from the Renaissance onwards.
