1,2,3: Real aristocrat.
7: Not primarily known for aristocracy.
4,9: Born in 1500 - 1849.
5,8: Born in what is now France. *
6: Not a native speaker of a Germanic language.
10: Died of natural causes.
11: Not primarily known for involvement in politics, government, military, or religion.

*Technically, we also have that the person was born inside the triangle of question 5. It appears that all of mainland France is inside of it, along with nearly all of Corsica, but I guess we have ruled out, say, French Guiana as a birthplace.

A very intriguing pick. I will get the next round up shortly.

I am keeping the list of previous answers, but I wouldn't be opposed to storing that somewhere else. (Incidentally, I do not know what the best method is for meta-discussion of 20Q: Do we just do this in a random thread after a round finishes? Do we create a separate thread for meta-discussion?)

Yes I agree we should now keep the list separately from the game threads as it's soooo long. Also agree with separate thread for discussions.
