DQ: Did you die before 1900?

Athletics, involvement in a political family, criminal, victim… It’s tough when they don’t fall into an easy category, huh?

Since “under German rule” isn’t the WWII Nazi occupation, I’d guess we’ve got the Weimar Republic or pre-WWI Prussia, so we’re looking at present-day Germany, parts of Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia (or Czechoslovakia, if you prefer). We’re coming up on Halloween - anyone know of any famous Eastern European witches?

Very nice Spoons! FTR, mine was Anne Boleyn.

79

Woo-hoo! Though I have to admit, MissTake, that it was your hint, “Think of the holiday we’re coming up to,” along with the DQ answers, that led me to ask about Elizabeth Batory.

My other questions in that post were looking for Bennie, of Bennie and the Jets; and Bonnie Bedelia, who played John McClane’s wife Holly in the Die Hard movies.

Let me think for a bit about our next letter…

Nicely done, Spoons and MissTake!
