"Aragorn was the famed king of Gondor, while the Iberian kingdom was Aragon. Both parties were aware of this coincidence: we have a journal entry from Aragorn that expresses his anger at receiving mail meant for King Peter IV of Aragon for the umpteenth time."~ CommodoreCoCo

Right now I have one and a half, and I have the answer lines for 3 rounds. I can expand this, however.

Whatever you'd like; I was just curious. Is this tossups only or tossup/bonus?

See my original CO post - stating that: The only thing side events I'm currently giving official sanction to are the history doubles and Will Nediger's literature event, which will have dibs on the two premier Sunday spots (history before literature).
Obviously, I have no power or wont to stop people from coalescing and playing some event as they will, but refer to the second post in the CO Thread for the "official schedule"
