Debatable. Certainly political but not an obvious yes to primarily.

I won't count as question but as it's a clue I'll be less inclined to hint.

Is he typically known by something more than just his given name, such as a nickname or some kind of honorific?

Examples could include Vlad the Impaler, Æthelred the Unready, Conan the Barbarian, and Dora the Explorer

JECE meant “Is he from France or Italy?”, which can be answered as a yes-no question.

Correct, the question can be asked with a yes or no unless the pick happens to be both Italian and French. (I technically asked whether they were a member of the French or Italian peoples.)

Since you expounded on this response as well, but didn't count it, can you clarify if you are counting this as an official answer?
