The answer to mine was renegate (anagram (indicated by hormonal) of teenager, ancient/archaic word for rebel). I guess your answer was heretike ARFK, though how hormonal teenager got you there I don't know. I'm a bit sad this failed -  thought it was one of my less rubbish clues.



Anyway, it's a bit late now - carry on!


Edit: that Ximines clue was ace johnx2

From your emphasis of "archaic", and "it fit into the gaps" I'd assumed better wordplay than mine on your behalf!

The answer to mine was renegate (anagram (indicated by hormonal) of teenager, ancient/archaic word for rebel).

bollocks wish I'd googled. I saw how the clue worked and thought 'renagade' but shite no 'd' in teenager.'Renegate' was a word I simply didn't know (quite a confession...) Anyway, the current one should be easy enough.

Chosen by a subject of Kenneth MacAlpin, one hears (6)

Come on, come on - he was an ancient king of scotland, so what does that make his subjects.
