vii: what name was given to the Belgic town Calleva?
viii: what coat typically boasts a velvet collar?
ix: where was Dr Arabin appointed Dean?
x: where do 11 Us unite?

the rules as they have evolved:
a: give nice full answers and anecdotes where possible!
b: say if googled or not, and leave a bit of a while for people to answer non-googlingly
c: you're obviously allowed to look ahead at future questions as (first) this was published in a national newspaper and i can't stop you and (second) i can't stop ME either, and have done exactly this
d: let other fora in same game be (unpoliceably) Out of Bounds till next set is up -- even tho obv they are all wronghead feebs compared to us

Yes, I was focusing on the whose TOO much actually - along the lines of "Pere David's Deer".

BUT having worked out what the answer must be I think there's a MISTAKE in the qn - it should be 16th century not 17th.

Non-googling clarification of freakytigger's last post in case it helps someone to make the connection: cervids = the deer family of animals.
