      • Okay. This commemorates a famous stand-off and showdown, which was also made into a well-known play by a Nobel Prize winning playwright.

        Extra points if you name the formidable woman involved, but the main thing is to get the location, and the identities of the two main protagonists.

                    • Now that would be telling.

                      Just looking for the main protagonist and what he's up to.

                        • Okay.


                          The first happened here, but there were a few after.

                          The second (as it's known) had BIG consequences.

                          What and where ?

                              Nah. Style of architecture is too late for Tower of London.


                              Think mainland Europe, specialist glass manufacture, Christmas carols, spring and velvet.

                                Definitely Prague - recognised the picture!

                                Might it have something to do with chucking people out of windows, something I seem to recall they had a habit of doing...



                                Precipitating a rather large amount of fighting for, oh, about three decades or so...

                                You'll have to pick somewhere I haven't been, next time...
