Was this person born in the territory of a present-day country with no territory west of Italy's easternmost point?

No (I will not count this one since there were no king Louises X or under after 1500, so this is just the same as the previous q)
So to be clear, it seems like the question master is excluding Louis Philippe. We could be looking for somebody born 1830–1848.

That was previously true, but now we know that the target was not born after 1803 (Louisiana Purchase question)

So I believe the range of birth years is 1515-1610 and 1792-1803

Could it not be that the QM misread the 'greater than' symbol? That's how I understand the 'X or under', so no kings with a regal number smaller than 10 after 1500, which is true, but does not add anything.

No, QM's point was there are no Louises X or under after 1500, so "Born during Louis?" and "Born during Louis >X?" are functionally the same question given the time period. This is arguably incorrect due to Louis Philippe, but the point is moot now because of the Louisiana purchase question.

Given that timeframe...

Was he born between the year that Louisville, Kentucky was established and the year that Louisville, Kentucky was incorporated?
