question: The Lords of Appellant were a group of nobles in the reign of a king that was born where?
answer: Bordeaux
context: Title: Polish landed gentry
  Passage: Polish landed gentry (Polish: "ziemiaństwo, ziemianie" , from "ziemia", "land") was a social group or class of hereditary landowners who held manorial estates.  Historically, "ziemianie" consisted of hereditary nobles ("szlachta") and landed commoners.  The Statutes of Piotrków (1496) restricted the right to hold manorial lordships to hereditary nobility.  The non-nobles thus had to either sell their estates to the lords or seek a formal ennoblement for themselves (not an easy task), or had their property taken away.  A rare exception was the burgesses of certain specially privileged "ennobled" royal cities who were titled "nobilis" and were allowed to buy and inherit manorial estates and exercise their privileges (such as jurisdiction over their subjects) and monopolies (over distilleries, hunting grounds, etc.).  Therefore, in the "szlachta"-dominated Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth there was almost no landed-gentry in the English meaning of the term, i.e. commoners who owned landed estates.  With the Partitions these restrictions were loosened and finally any commoner could buy or inherit land.  This made the 20th century Polish landed gentry consist mostly of hereditary nobles, but also of others.
  Title: Breviary of Alaric
  Passage: The Breviary of Alaric ("Breviarium Alaricianum" or "Lex Romana Visigothorum") is a collection of Roman law, compiled by unknown writers and approved by Anianus on the order of Alaric II, King of the Visigoths, with the advice of his bishops and nobles.  It was promulgated on 2 February 506, the 22nd year of his reign.  It applied, not to the Visigothic nobles under their own law, which had been formulated by Euric, but to the Hispano-Roman and Gallo-Roman population, living under Visigoth rule south of the Loire and, in Book 16, to the members of the Trinitarian Catholic Church.  (The Visigoths were Arian and maintained their own clergy.)
  Title: Sunyatphaa
  Passage: Sunyatphaa or Udayaditya Singha was the king of Ahom Kingdom from 1670 CE to 1672 CE.  After his elder brother Swargadeo Chakradhwaj Singha died in the middle of Ahom-Mughal war, Udayaditya Singha succeeded to the throne.  His reign witnessed the end of Ahom-Mughal war, which started during the reign of Chakradhwaj Singha, when the Mughal army led by Rajput prince, Raja Ram Singh I of Amber, was decisively defeated by the Ahom forces led by Ahom commander Lachit Borphukan in the Battle of Saraighat.  The later part of his reign was characterized by the failure of military expedition against the Dafala tribes and the influence of Paramananda Sannyasi, a saintly figure from Brindaban, over Udayaditya Singha.  Udayaditya’s over exerted devotion towards Paramananda Sanyasi, aroused dissatisfaction among the nobles, which ultimately caused his deposition and execution.  His reign was followed by a series of political anarchy and internal disturbances in the Ahom kingdom which continued till the accession of Gadadhar Singha in 1681 CE.
  Title: Robert Tresilian
  Passage: Robert Tresilian (died 1388) was a Cornish lawyer, and Chief Justice of the King's Bench between 1381 and 1387.  He was born in Cornwall, and held land in Tresillian, near Truro.  Tresilian was deeply involved in the struggles between King Richard II and the Lords Appellant, and was eventually executed for his loyalty to the king.
  Title: Lords Appellant
  Passage: The Lords Appellant were a group of nobles in the reign of King Richard II, who, in 1388, sought to impeach some five of the King's favourites in order to restrain what was seen as tyrannical and capricious rule.  The word appellant simply means '[one who is] appealing [in a legal sense]'.  It is the older (Norman) French form of the present participle of the verb "appeler", the equivalent of the English 'to appeal'.  The group was called the Lords Appellant because its members invoked a procedure under law to start prosecution of the king's unpopular favourites known as 'an appeal': the favourites were charged in a document called an appeal of treason, a device borrowed from civil law which led to some procedural complications.
  Title: Nicholas Brembre
  Passage: Sir Nicholas Brembre was a wealthy magnate and a chief ally of King Richard II in 14th-century England.  He was Lord Mayor of London in 1377, and again from 1383-5.  Named a "worthie and puissant man of the city" by Richard Grafton (who wrongly termed him a draper), he became a citizen and grocer of London, and in 1372-3 purchased (46 Ed.  III) from the Malmains family the estates of Mereworth, Maplescomb, and West Peckham, in Kent.  His ties to Richard ultimately resulted in his downfall, as the anti-Richard Lords Appellant effectively took control of the government and imprisoned, exiled, or executed most of Richard's court.  Despite Richard's efforts, Brembre was executed in 1388 for treason at the behest of the Lords Appellant.
  Title: Arses of Persia
  Passage: Artaxerxes (Artaxšacā) IV Arses (Persian: اردشيرچهارم‎ ‎ ) (Old Persian: ), was king of Persia between 338 BC and 336 BC.  He was the youngest son of King Artaxerxes III and Atossa and was not expected to succeed to the throne of Persia.  His unexpected rise to the throne came in 338 BC as a result of the murder of his father and most of his family by Bagoas, the powerful Vizier of Persia who had recently fallen into disfavor with Artaxerxes.  Bagoas sought to remain in office by replacing Artaxerxes with his son Arses (Artaxerxes IV), whom he thought easier to control.  Arses remained little more than a puppet-king during the two years of his reign, while Bagoas acted as the real power behind the throne.  Eventually, disgruntled by this state of affairs and possibly influenced by the nobles of the Royal Court, who generally held Bagoas in contempt, Arses started planning Bagoas' murder.  The Vizier again acted first in order to protect himself and managed to poison Arses.  Bagoas then raised a cousin of Arses to the throne as King Darius III of Persia.  A major concern for Persia during this King's short reign were hostilities on the western borders with Macedonia under Kings Philip II of Macedon and Alexander the Great.  This became a war of conquest by Alexander during the reign of Arses' successor Darius III.
  Title: King Nan of Zhou
  Passage: King Nan of Zhou (? –256 BC), born Ji Yan and less commonly known as King Yin of Zhou, was the 36th and last king of the Chinese Zhou dynasty, the son of King Shenjing of Zhou and grandson of King Xian of Zhou.  He was king for fifty-nine years, the longest in the Zhou Dynasty and all of pre-imperial China (in terms of the reign length followed by King Mu of Zhou).  By the time of King Nan's reign, the kings of Zhou had lost almost all political and military power, as even their remaining crown land was split into two states or factions, led by rival feudal lords: West Zhou, where the capital Wangcheng was located, and East Zhou, centred at Chengzhou and Kung.  Therefore, Nan lacked any personal territory and was effectively under the control of the local feudal lords, essentially relying on their charity.
  Title: Minyekyawdin
  Passage: Minyekyawdin (Burmese: မင်းရဲကျော်ထင် , ] ; also Minyekyawhtin 1651–1698) was king of Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from 1673 to 1698.  Minyekyawdin, governor of Pindale, was elected by the ministers of the court over several elder princes as king after his step-brother King Narawara's sudden death in 1673.  The group of nobles that had supported the king gained power and purged other groups of the nobles and royalties.  The power of the kingdom gradually declined during his quarter-century rule.  Burma was attacked by Siam during his reign.
  Title: Richard II of England
  Passage: Richard II (6 January 1367 – c. 14 February 1400), also known as Richard of Bordeaux, was King of England from 1377 until he was deposed on 30 September 1399.  Richard, a son of Edward, the Black Prince, was born in Bordeaux during the reign of his grandfather, Edward III.  His father was Prince of Aquitaine.  Richard was the younger brother of Edward of Angoulême, upon whose death Richard, at three years of age, became second in line to the throne after his father.  Upon the death of Richard's father prior to the death of Edward III, Richard, by primogeniture, became the heir apparent to the throne.  With Edward III's death the following year, Richard succeeded to the throne at the age of ten.
