Thread: Favorite Historical Figure

  1. #1

    Default Favorite Historical Figure

    Who's your favorite figure from the history of humanity? It can really be anyone, but I'd say as a guidleine those who you might learn about in a history curriculum would probably work best.

    I'll say Isaac Newton or Martin Luther King Jr.

    Caligula or Atilla the Hun.

    Out of all the figures I studied in history, I found Hitler the most interesting. Not that I like him or support his ideas or anything, I just found him interesting.

    This fella named Zhou Yu from a period of Chinese history known as the Three Kingdoms is by far my favourite.

    He was one of those perennial underdog/loser types. As a master strategist of one of the three kingdoms, he was ultimately bested by his equivalent to another Lord and died a bitter man.

    I really dig his story of eternal struggle.

    Queen Filipa of Lancaster and his husband D. Joćo I! She gave birth a bunch of kids who made great things!

    I really like the figure of virgin Maria but I don't believe that she was actually virgin
