subordinate clauses - couple of questions
Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with these sentences:
"... Brothers, whom he was obliged to murder on his accession."
Is "to murder on his accession" separate clause or is it all one, relative, clause?
"Odysseus and his men had got drunk at their first port of call, said some".
Is "said some" a subordinate clause? And which type?
"... Brothers, whom he was obliged to murder on his accession."

I would judge the non-finite clause as the complement of the adjective "obliged," but there are probably 10 other interpretations. It is not a relative clau
