I think we need a clue.

I can't even think of a decent 20th question. Possibilities might be:

I can't answer with certainty whether he was ever portrayed in a film, so I'll give you a hint. A far right party is pissed (...

Did he participate in the Nine Years' War?

So, it's a European non royal Roman Catholic native speaker of a Romance language who is some sort of military leader oft portrayed with a sword born 1600- 1675ish and died after 1690 but not on Jamie's famous list. I think the military bit is either misleading or we are dealing with an obscurity. ...

You guys should be careful on how you interpret my answer to the 'natural causes' question. It's not a matter of sources being unclear about what type of natural causes befell the hero of our story.

As in, was he a king? Or are you asking whether he received a title from a king?

Was he of royal lineage?

Yeah that will do.
