History winner:
Our historical figure winner was Eugene Patton from Northern Ireland
The answer was — John O'Gaunt
It linked a Gilbert Vinter test-piece with the 'aging southern belle' in the play 'A Streetcar named Desire' — as Blanche du Bois was the character and was the Christian name of John's first wife).
The musical link to a non-alcoholic fruit drink named after a London church that inspired a nursery rhyme was 'St Clements' (quoted directly and indirectly in the piece from troms to horns)
And test-piece named after the lineage of a royal house that came to an end at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485 was 'The Plantagenets' by Edward Gregson — John O'Gaunt being a member of the House of Lancaster.
