Favorite Historical Figure

Hmm well there is a LOT of people in history, so by saying favourite person in history a lot of people could simply name their nan or something, but famous person in history? Oh god theres a LOT of them too.

I go with Marylin Monroe or maybe Sun Tzu who wrote the art of war, would love to have sat down for a discussion with him.

A decent quote from MP, people.
I like De Valera and Michael Collins, neither figures many here would know, but ones i've put a lot of effort into researching.

A good friend of mine calls me Caligula sometimes, so I have a special affinity for him. Don't ask why he calls me Caligula. :bigsmile:

Hmm, that's a really good question. I don't really know who my absolute favourite is, but I've been more or less fascinated by the following:

- King Henry VIII and his wives
- Adolf Hitler
- Tsar Nicholas the 2nd
- Marie Antoinette
- Homer (mostly his stories, though)
- Jeanne D'arc (sp?)
- Van Gogh
- Leonardo Da Vinci


... I'm sure there are more, but those were the ones I could think of.

Stalin was an intresting fellow, so was winston churchill,Julius Ceaser, and many others that i cant think of atm.

Boudica would be one hell of an interesting woman to meet lol.

karl marx

So incredibly difficult to say. I take huge favoring to Leonardo Da Vinci. Genius at the very least.

Gilgamesh! and Enkidu

Oh theres also Socratus, Plato and Aristotle.

Prince of persia


does that count?

:moomba:

If he were real, it would be Don Quixote, but he's not so I don't know :(
