E: Free Guess: Rapunzel
So, I just remembered I'm supposed to be enforcing a rule that posts cannot contain multiple guesses: however, I'll let it slide this one time because I forgot to enforce it with Jamie earlier, and also because only one of these guesses is correct.

A: Not Leonidas I.
E: Not Rapunzel.

C: Uncle Sam is correct! DarthPorg36 now has 1 point.
