b: say if googled or no; leave time for non-googlers to play
c: obviously look ahead at future questions if you want
d: don't bring in confirming or dissenting answers from other fora until next set is up and running

spoilers: er er i think emperor constantine's mum was called irene and bullied him, and "all gaul is divided into three part -- all? no!" but i'm not sure either of these is right -- i feel the answers are mostly royal

1492 I think -- but that was the last remnant, and there were kings of several parts of Spain (eg the KINGS OF LEON) well before that; later united.

Can't be Portugal anyway, since Manuel II from Q1 was the 34th (or 35th) and last there.
