I typed in "Black Death" but got nothing, because you require "The." Likewise with "Rome" and "Roman," because you require the wholly redundant "Empire." I could complain too about requiring "Lady," but that was just laziness on my part.

+1. Similarly, "bubonic" should have worked for the plague, and Elizabeth '2' as well as 'II', which is common practise on Jetpunk.

The clue's in the name. Roman Emperor Hadrian had the wall built to mark the northern edge of the Roman empire and to keep out the Scots, not the other way round.

You're forgetting Henry the Accidental. King for eleven minutes due to a clerical error in Central Processing.
