Question: How old was the military engineer who scouted around Leith during the siege? Passage:The English King Henry VIII, angered by the Scots reneging on the initial agreement, made war on Scotland in 15441549, a period which the writer Sir Walter Scott later christened the "Rough Wooing". In May 1544 an English army landed at Granton and captured Leith to land heavy artillery for an assault on Edinburgh Castle, but withdrew after burning the town and the Palace of Holyrood over three days. Three years later, following another English invasion and victory at Pinkie Cleugh in 1547, the English attempted to establish a "pale" within Scotland. Leith was of prime strategic importance because of its vital role as Edinburgh's port, handling its foreign trade and essential supplies. The English arrived in Leith on 11 September 1547 and camped on Leith Links. The military engineer Richard Lee scouted around the town on 12 September looking to see if it could be made defensible. On 14 September the English began digging a trench on the south-east side of Leith near the Firth of Forth. William Patten wrote that the work was done as much for exercise as for defence, since the army only stayed for five days.

question:
Question: What country claims ownership of the island the crew sheltered on after their ship's hull was crushed? Passage:He led the 1901-1904 Swedish Antarctic Expedition, aboard the ship Antarctic. The expedition visited the Falkland Islands before the ship, commanded by seasoned Antarctic sailor Carl Anton Larsen, dropped Nordenskjold's party off at Snow Hill Island, a small island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Nordenskiold overwintered at Snow Hill Island, while Antarctic returned to the Falklands. The following summer Larsen brought her south, intending to retrieve the Nordenskiold party, but she became trapped in ice which eventually crushed her hull, forcing Larsen and his crew to overwinter in a hastily constructed shelter on Paulet Island. Larsen and Nordenskjold finally rendezvoused at their fall-back rescue hut at Hope Bay in late 1903, where they were picked up by the Argentine Navy corvette ARA Uruguay (commanded by Julian Irizar), which had been dispatched when Antarctic had failed to make her appointed return to South America the previous year. Despite its end and the great hardships endured, the expedition was considered a scientific success, with the parties having explored much of the eastern coast of Graham Land, including Cape Longing, James Ross Island, the Joinville Island group, and the Palmer Archipelago. The expedition, which also recovered valuable geological samples and samples of marine animals, earned Nordenskjold lasting fame at home, but its huge cost left him greatly in debt.

Question: What city was the French Embassy located in? Passage:On 3 March 1982, opposition politician and leader of the MLPC party, Ange-Felix Patasse, returned from exile to the Central African Republic and staged an unsuccessful coup against General Andre Kolingba (who himself took power in the 1981 coup d'etat) with the help of a few military officers, such as General Francois Bozize, who accused Kolingba of treason and proclaimed the change of power on Radio Bangui. Four days later, having failed to gain the support of the Central African Armed Forces, Patasse went in disguise to the French Embassy in the Central African Republic to seek refuge. After heated negotiations between the Kolingba government and France, Patasse was allowed to leave for exile in Togo. Bozize fled to the north of the country with 100 soldiers, before obtaining refuge in France.
