ONE CLUE SOLVED! - CONTEST TWO: Solve this puzzle to win a free Fanatic book by Chris Williams

[BigGuy4x4]

The name in question is discussed in the Notes

 

[Tony Gunk]

Using Kagavi's clarification of lavender, "old lavender" on page 134 precedes "Burgundy". Thinking perhaps the second stanza=Burgundy.

A thought on the next stanza may be a stretch:
Now mull over the Colonel's past.
For that is where it comes from.

For those old enough to remember, Martin Mull played Colonel Mustard in the 1985 movie Clue. Third stanza=Mustard?

Burgundy Mustard=Dijon?

The symbol means second spouse.

 

[F5cy]

The symbol means "Check". A direct threat or attack on the king.

 

[CydeofFries]

Colonel comes from the word meaning column, the only other color in the column for old lavender is Kara Dagh.

Kara Dagh is apparently a persian rug, or a region in Turkey/Black sea area. So "if the cross means another says your kin" I take that as translate the word "Another" into the language of that region.

So I'm gonna guess: diger

(But the Martin Mull -> Colonel Mustard connection is way to good. It makes me want to go back and try from there if that guess wasn't right)

I still have absolutely no idea of what is going on…

You’re not alone. This could go on for months.

Well, someone already solved CONTEST 3 in the premium forum, so this remains the final puzzle.

None of these answers are correct. Thanks everyone!

No clue. Google AI came up with that. From the explanation, it meandered down to the last clue about the colonel, interpreted it as Col. Tom Parker who was originally from Breda, Netherlands, despite the fact that he claimed to be from West Virginia.

If AI doesn't know, I don't know.

I was thinking it was an ancient treasure or something, not Elvis's manager.
