What is this, classical history night? I'll guess at 468, but I reckon this could be a highly debatable question.

Sorry, lost my internet connection for a bit.

It's known as the 'Late Antique' or 'Late Roman' period!

Close.

The last Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire was Francis the second who I think was deposed in AD 1806 during the Napoleonic period.

Good answer, but I'm talking about the western Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire was something else entirely: a creation of the High Middle Ages.

What connects....... Pink ( The Singer ) Martin Freeman ( The Office ) Patsy Cline, Dvorak ( Composer ) and Peter Sellers?

They are all buried in Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris?

...or they all have Czech/Slovak ancestry?
...they all have the same birthday?
...their favourite colour was green?
I'm willing to bet that this isn't a significant connection Nines.
 
I'm sure that I read that Freeman was a vegetarian. I wouldn't be surprised if Pink was, but the others I'd doubt. I'd have thought that I'd have a vague notion if Sellers was as I have read a little about him. Cline, country singer, presumably from Down South, seems unlikely unless she was a rebel. Dvorak, I couldn't even name a piece of his work
 
If you google any one of the above you should notice something quite obvious. The proverbial penny should then drop, supplying you with that ' Ah, aha' experience.

You would recognise it though Roller. Remember the old, old Hovis adverts, cobbled streets and all? The music was Dvorak, New World Symphony I think.
 
Washington has been attacked twice since the US gained independence in 1776. The latest was by Al Quaeda on 9/11; when was the first time it was attacked, and by who?
