Third Clue

Each set of three questions leads to a place somewhere in the British Isles. Remember the three questions all have the same answer.

1) One English King lies here, struck down by the fruit of a tree — but the fruit of a second tree is worn to com- memorate the fact that another king escaped (was that the 'crowning mercy'?).

2) Acqui ester encerrada el alma di . . .? Not exactly, although his memorial service was held here, on 2 March 1934.

3) The Don 'failed' here with 107 after 236, 206 and 258.
