Of course not. You're a bloody Canuck!

Martin Luther is an obvious candidate. But there are others, some of whom are not so obvious. I'm going to toss those in at random, not in chronological order.
 
I would pick Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector of England, Puritan, Born in 1599, Died in 1658, September.  Was at first, only, MP for Huntingdon, but then he led the Ironside Cavalry at Marston Moor, in 1644, and won, and then he founded the New Model Army, and praise be, beat the Cavaliers at Naseby, and the King fled up north, like a bat, to the Scots!

thoughts as in 'Do you think this is a good idea?', or "any suggestions?", or "What types of people do you want to hear about: artists, political, theological, military?"

Hmmm let me think.... What about the unknown woman that mistakenly killed Pyrrhus (of Epirus) in Argos ??
Or even Pyrrhus himself... Not so obvious I think...

All of the above.


I don't think Pyrrhus is a person of particular historic significance. I have some individuals in mind, and I'm guessing most of you won't have heard of the first one I'm going to write about.

Who's this, the great?? If yes, too obvious
Spartacus, Moise Maimonides, Ivan the Terrible, Lazarus of Serbia, 'queen' Margot, here are some not so obvious ones 
 
Uh, I wasn't going to start a game "guess who I'm going to post about".
