For "landed estate", also accept fee (see definition 4)?

So the historical term was NOT "Senor Fame". That's too bad...

I'm not sure in what sense 'freemason' is a 'historical' term. Freemasonry is current today and, so far as I know, isn't associated with any particular era. If anyone knows different, I will be happy to learn.

I would also not consider "horse and buggy" to be a "historical term." That to me sounds like a term used in the study of history.

an omen is not necessarily a sign from the heavens, it is any warning of impending doom

All warnings of impending doom have their cause in the heavens. Please consult Herodotus, Plato, Plutarch, Plotinus, Proclus and Posidonius

FORENAMES is also a 9 letter word and an anagram or freemason.

It's about as 'historic' a term as freemason.

Appropriately, I feel swindled.

fun fact: Nero didn't fiddle while Rome burned! He wasn't in Rome at the time the fire started, and returned to organise relief efforts.

Also, fiddles hadn't been invented yet!

Doing this quiz whilst watching PSG v Bayern has been challenging. This thread is very funny too.

Aeon, since the quiz is not written in French, Spanish or scientific English. :)

I think you got on the wrong track from a previous comment. The quiz is in English. Therefore...

(I'll let you finish the reasoning.)
