Favourite historical figure
part of the revive general interest movement, who is your favourite history figure? It doens't have to be someone who you look up to or anything like that, just someone you find interesting.
For me it's two big ones. Napoleon http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...-Napoleon4.jpg and Hannibal from Carthage http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rthaginian.jpg These are the two who probably interest me the most, and the ones I have read the most about. |
Michael Collins, did great things for Ireland (eventhough he lost the 6 counties) and he's a Cork man

Mary Queen of Scots.

Caligula seemed delightfully crazy.
I'm generally fascinated by the Roman empire... Antony and Cleopatra's fault. |
Charles Darwin
