The answers so far aren't very close. There is a part in the question that may be deliberately misleading.

I'm not sure if my previous comment about "empire" was very clear (sorry). What I mean was that the type of state it was can be considered an empire based on its geographical boundaries.

I think what it's saying is that this city (the answer to the question) was the second capital of the empire. The capital was originally somewhere else before it was relocated to here.

Yeah, I have to say, this is a particularly hard question. I honestly had never heard of this city before.

This was the great capital of a great European empire. The city was named after the beloved wife of its ruler. What is the name of this city? (by cavalry4ever)
Hint: Another great capital of the same empire was relocated to this city.
This hint doesn't make any sense: if it is the same empire, was the capital relocated from this city to this very same city? Or was this the second (third?) capital of the empire?
What is history but a fable agreed upon?

"Q6. He was born the son of a humble craftsman in Holland. His profession took him all over Europe and in the country, in which he died, a title was bestowed on him, that wouldnt be given to another foreigner for many a year. He is not well known under his birth name. and even more famous is an old school friend of his. Who is he and whats his friends name? (by Komnenos)

Answer: Pope Adrian VI (Adrianus Florentius) and Erasmus of Rotterdam. He was the only Dutch pope and the last non-Italian till the current one."

 

I'm pretty sure Karol Wojtyla wasn't Italian either.

A Clarification for Question 11 (This was the great capital of a great European empire. The city was named after the beloved wife of its ruler. What is the name of this city?)

The term "empire" needs to be taken quite literally, so a state that is reasonably large, let's say at least the size of France. However, I can see that this is a vague question, and I'm open for some discussion on this one after the answer has been released. I've received some answers that could loosely be correct, depending on what can be considered an "empire.

For that question, the country, month, date, and year is good enough.

Clarification, please:

Who and when carried first bombing raid on Berlin in WW2. (by Mosquito)


How detailed has to be the answer? Country and year is enough? Month and year?

A Clarification on Question 14:

As a Prince, he struggled to hold his inherited homelands. As an outcast, he rallied his men and returned to power in foreign lands. As a poet, he composed his autobiography to remind future generations of his hardships and victories. As a man, he was one of the greatest of his time. Who was he?
here, "autobiography" must refer to a lenghty work, about the size of a 200-300 page modern-day novel.

Ok I think I've fixed it. It turns out that when you edit questions, stuff goes out of sync.
