1. Which word means a social class, a sequence and a mandate?
2. Which composer wrote the most concertos? - I have seen Vivaldi as a possibility, but can't find anything to confirm this.
3. Which monarch's illness occasioned the writing of 'O God, our help in ages past'? - It was written in 1719 which was George I, but I can't find a reference to an illness. It was based on Psalm 90, so David (and Moses) come into it but they weren't ill, were they?

I found the following information on a hymn history site:-Christianity was facing a dark future in England when Queen Anne forced through parliament
a Schism Act designed to severely limit religious freedom. Against this
backdrop, Isaac watts wrote the stately hymn ''O God our help in ages past.' It wasn't until 1738 John Wesley in his hymnal changed the first
line of the text from ''Our God'' to ''O God.''

I did read on another site that Queen Anne died on 1st August 1714 [aged
49] at Kensington Palace, London. She suffered from Erysipelas and
suppressed gout.
