Finished the crossword but two answers still puzzle me. 29a. Noble king's line moves to conclusion. (4) = EARL. I can see Noble = earl but not where the rest of the clue fits. 56a. Looking into Irish ancestry, head of institute gets shot. (10) = IRIDESCENT. I can see ancestry = descent. Irish - ir? but shot? Any pointers would be gratefully received. Thanks.
