Please can anyone help with the following clues?

30. Did his flair for gardening give rise to his nickname?
31. He seems to have got more than food in his facial hair.
33. At one and the same time deeply learned but totally eccentric.
34. Savagely violent, Westminster Hall may be his only positive legacy.
36. Did this monarch waltz in and quickly out of the monarchy
11. I'm late, I'm late for a very important date was NOT his cry.

Thanks for any help. I don't know why I do these quizzes. They drive me crazy when I can't think of the answers.

Thanks mac and nungate. So quick, so quick!!
31 Sweyn Forkbeard
36 Matilda
11 Harold Harefoot
Question Author
Thanks doghouse. That's a good one - Forkbeard, I would never have got that. I have already got Harold Harefoot for number 22 - Does his nickname imply he was fleet of foot? Would fit both, but they don't usually do the same name twice so obviously I must have got that one wrong. So back to the drawing board.
So what was the clue for 22?
Question Author
Clue for 22 - Does his nickname imply he was fleet of foot.
Could 11. be Ethelred the Unready?
Question Author
Thanks Foxlee, but I have already got Ethelred for clue 37 which is - It seems he wasn't well prepared
yes, that seems a better fit.
Question Author
Frustrating isn't it? Very annoying when you can't think what it is. Mind you, this one is not so bad as the food one I am attempting. Don't think I am going to finish this - one of the clues (to the food one) is Pi. Just that - talk about lateral thinking.
I think there are a couple that might have the same answers. I am pretty sure that 4 and 29 are the same, and possibly 1 and 27.
