AVMA Take 2

help

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Hmmmmm... Nope, still not coming to me.

[CdM] Human - YES

Male?

[Chalky] He-Man? - YES

Did he die in the 20th century?

[Lib] been & gone? - YES
[Raak] died in C20 - NO

Royalty?

[Lib] crowned head? - YES (some murmurs in the audience)

To save time, the personage in question died in the 18th century.

Does 'crowned head' in this case mean 'sovereign'?

Well asked

[Projoy] lying uneasy? - NO (Loud and prolonged applause - plus a few murmurs from one or two of the audience)
I realised afterwards that my way of rephrasing Lib's question might have been confusing, so for clarity: royalty, yes; sovereign, no.

The spouse of a sovereign?

Assassinated?

French royalty?

[Raak] Assassinated? - NO
[Projoy] French Royalty - NO

Spanish Royalty?
