Re: Any cryptic minds out there
It's the name of a 17th century architect. Hawksmoor.
I only know this because I I've just been reading a fiction book by Ken Follet which prompted me to re-read the historical facts about certain cathedrals in the UK and Europe.

For 1.
I think that's an anagram of some part of the clue but it ends in S as the clue indicates a plural.

Re: Any cryptic minds out there
I don't think so and it would give me a word ending in 'u'.The cryptic part is Died in Battle?
I thought of fell (in battle) but it doesn't relate to cruel. Then I though of 'evil' but that doesn't make sense.
I thought also it was something to 1066, but no.
My only other thought was a three letter battle ending in L with a D in the middle that means cruel.
We need more help methinks
