Stumper: Are you Louis XIV's last mistress, one who used to be the wife of a cripple, and ended up marrying the King
in secret ?

Madame de Maintenon.

Hmm. Wait a sec for the general...

Ok - at the moment, only two names come to mind.

Let's go for the most likely candidate.

General: Are you famous for your essays?

To kill time and a mockingbird:

Stumper: Are you the initiator of the 'Suprematism' movement in contemporary art ?

Cheers MeMe !

Ok - so he's not Montaigne, but he may be... Queen Margaret of England,
the she-wolf of France who played a critical role in the War of the Roses.

General: Are you a woman ?

If you are Margaret, nice attempt to confuse us, I admit !

If he's not Margaret, then I can only think of:
- the Duke Of Montmorency (not funny),
- Anguerrand de Marigny (gah...).

Margaret is nicer !

(Stumper was Malevich).

Yes - but when I think of the period of Vercingetorix, the only name to come to my mind is... Vercingetorix.

Was there a French Pope in the past ?

Well, I should have known - and not just because I'm French !

Quailman: Montaigne is eliminated, (Essays question), but I think I have it !

Stumper: Are you the Leader of the Templiers Order - one executed by a French king because that king wanted the wealth of your order ?

(I think it was that bastard Philippe IV Le Bel - another bad French king)

Well - being French helped a lot...

Actually, I thought of Jacques de Molay shortly after the discussion with DP about French popes. I was looking for someone with a role in politics, and also in religion.... which led to Jacques. Great game, Cadmium - thanks !
