-The answer is quite specific, because the region that held out was rather small and remote, but you can start guessing centuries.

Thanks MBD! I was a little unclear there.

The succession became a concern upon the death of his son William in 1120: Henry's marriage to Adelaide was fruitless, leaving his daughter Matilda as the only surviving legitimate heir. She was recalled to Henry's court in 1125 after the death of her husband, Emperor Henry V of Germany. Henry forced his barons to swear an oath of allegiance to Matilda in 1127 after he arranged her marriage to the sixteen-year-old Geoffrey of Anjou to cement an Angevin alliance on the continent. The marriage, unpopular with the Norman barons, produced a male heir in 1133, which prompted yet another reluctant oath of loyalty from the aggravated barons. In the summer of 1135, Geoffrey demanded custody of certain key Norman castles as a show of good will from Henry; Henry refused and the pair entered into war. Henry's life ended in this sorry state of affairs - war with his son-in-law and rebellion on the horizon - in December 1135.

You will find that this is actually a medieval question time-wise, it's just not really related to anything else medieval. Just think about places in the west roman empire and which way the barbarians were comming from, start guessing centuries, and it won't too hard to get close.

No. This reffers to areas that was held by Rome, which it later abandoned, but were retained by their pre-Roman population until much later than the fall of Rome itself.

Most of the places up north fell to raiders from Ireland, or were gobbled up by the Vikings at some point.

I think the Scots just ended up taking over that entire area, and they were never under Roman rule (so thus ineligible for last surviving...)

Ok, just a random one (literally).

If (X_n)_0<=n<=N is a Markov Chain with initial distribution w and transition matrix T, what is the probability

P(X₀=i₀,...,X_N=i_N)

Edited to fix extraneous subscripts.

Standard bit of theory. I've been learning the course for 2 days, and that's about the first thing they tell you. No need to be a genius, just to have done a very little bit of Markov Chains theory.

I would need to probably be a child genius of some sort to be working that level of Maths at this age.

I think I remember reading about this (researching estoric AI algorithms).

Don't remember much, so this is pretty much a guess:
w(i₀)T₀₁T₁₂*.....*T_n-1n

BTW, I'm assuming:
