Please allow alternative spelling "caltrap" (there are several listed in wikipedia, but this one fits the grid too!).

"Each grid letter may be used only once within an individual answer". What about Clara and Palace?

This might be nitpicking, but I am not entirely happy with "Pale". as far as I know, the area is always referred to as the "Pale of Settlement" (it is almost like accepting "war" for "war of the Roses").

I'm guessing coal is still an important export.

i expected the answers to form some sort of clue for the last name, it turns out this is not the case.

Anyway, IMHO the 3x3 scheme would be way more useful if the words could be formed only by connecting adjacent letters.

I thought this was a Boggle-style connect the letters quiz and got very confused.

Asking the name of a character in a play is not a question about history.

You're not a question about history.
