Well Feanor, you got 7 or 8 out of 10. Answer #6 is "Durin's Day", and #7 is Dain, Thorin's cousin. As you may recall, Thorin was killed in the Battle of Five Armies, and thus never lived to be formally recognized as king.
Now, as to #2, there's some debate as to what precisely the five armies were. All agree that orcs, dwarves, men and elves were four, but the fifth is either wargs or eagles. I'll have to look at the book once more to see if I can determine the correct answer, but I *think* the eagles are not technically an army. I'll post about it later.
Sorry Feanor, but in "The Hobbit", the battle was designated the Battle of Five Armies before the eagles arrived. I must therefore say you were wrong on #2. Still, seven out of ten isn't bad.
I'm kind of surprised I even managed the seven! :)
