Notes
- Giovanni Falcone appears on May 23, so Paolo Borsellino should not appear in the same year
- Lady Jane Grey appears on July 10, so Mary I should not appear in the same year
- The 2014 ambush appeared 4 times within its first 10 years, yet it is described as only "one of the biggest since" the year before (2013)?
- Is it possible to have at least 2 that are not war/bombing/violence/ambush, etc?
