Here's an easy one.....


This religious reformer attended both the University of Vienna and the University of Basel. He clashed with another protestant group, which result in their persecution. He died in 1531, in battle, at the age of 47.


Who was this religious reformer and what was the name of the battle where he died?

Pre-Ming Dynasty walls of China. The Ming walls are solid quarry stone whereas walls of earlier dynasties packed the centers with mud and straw. Today they are used for small farms.

Just watched a show on that last night. Unfortunately, I forgot the name of the particular dynasty that built these types of walls.
