Alexander "The Great"

Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great was a king of Macedon, a state in northern Greece. By the age of thirty, he had created one of the largest empires in ancient history, stretching from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. He was undefeated in battle and is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time.[1] Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle. In 336 BC he succeeded his father Philip II of Macedon to the throne after Philip was assassinated. Philip had brought most of the city-states of mainland Greece under Macedonian hegemony, using both military and diplomatic means.

Originally invented a story about Herman's Hermits Alfred for his children, after one night in the polder with his car had run over a duck and the next day a mother duck with seven ducklings waddling behind her saw walking through his garden. Around this time he was asked to make a theatrical production about a fairy tale, which he decided the little yellow duck as a hero for taking the writing piece. Van Veen wrote in collaboration with Annet Kossen before the lyrics. The duck's Hermits would have named after his friend Alfred Biolek, a German television entertainer, as he walked with the waggelgang of a duck. The name Jodocus van Veen lent by a clown. Van Veen was, along with Erik and Harry Wurff Sacksioni also responsible for composing the music. The musical for children thus created was first presented in 1976. Accompanied by an orchestra, Van Veen's story about Alfred. Part of the proceeds from the performances of the theater were donated to UNICEF. Van Veen joined the theater also abroad, including Germany and Austria.
In 1978, Polydor produced their first album on which Van Veen took the piece, accompanied by the Hague Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Van der Wurff. This album received an Edison Award in 1979. In 1987 another album released - this time under the title of Herman's Hermits sings and tells the musical tale of Alfred Jodocus Kwak, with the inclusion of an embodiment of the theater at Queen Elizabeth Hall in Antwerp, together with the Metropolitan Water Lands Symphony Orchestra. In 1990 came the release of a CD, the 52nd place and earned the highest rating for ten weeks in the Dutch Album Top 100 stayed.
In 2003 the play was performed again, this time with Bart van Gerwen and the Rotterdam Youth Symphony Orchestra. In 2005 there were performances during the Ghent Festivities.
Annet Kossen first made a drawing by Alfred, the first record. From Hamburg-based artist Harald Siepermann, since 1987 working for Walt Disney Feature Animation for films like Tarzan, Finding Nemo, Mulan and Brother Bear, was responsible for the final character that was used for merchandising (in the form of books and comics) and the cartoon about Alfred. Are drawn duck was the main character in the 52-part animated series was produced from 1989 to 1991. The backgrounds in this cartoon were written by the German Hans Bacher, as well as a graphic designer employed by Walt Disney Feature Animation. There were 52 episodes between 1989 to 1991 were sent out.
The cartoon was first aired in 1989 in the Netherlands and Germany, where the series Alfred J. Kwak was called, and in Japan, where the cartoon called Chiisana Ahiru no Okina Ai no Monogatari: Ahiru no Quack (小さな アヒル の 大きな 愛 の 物語 あひる の クワック) received. This was followed quickly Belgium, Greece, Austria, Italy, Spain, Israel (where Alfred the new, unusual first name was She'altiel), Finland, the United Kingdom, Serbia, Poland, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. Ultimately, the cartoon aired in 48 countries.
The first tune of the cartoon series was created by the number Hunk Father Peter Van Veen in theater from 1978. The song I'm so happy today, sung by Ryan van den Akker and Herman's Hermits, was the final tune.

William III of England

Quote:

William III & II (4 November 1650 – 8 March 1702)[1] (Dutch: Willem III) was a sovereign Prince of Orange of the House of Orange-Nassau by birth. From 1672 he governed as Stadtholder William III of Orange (Dutch: Willem III van Oranje) over Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel of the Dutch Republic. From 1689 he reigned as William III over England and Ireland. By coincidence, his regnal number (III) was the same for both Orange and England. As King of Scotland, he is known as William II.[2] He is informally known in Northern Ireland and Scotland as "King Billy".[3] In what became known as the "Glorious Revolution", on 5 November 1688 William invaded England in an action that ultimately deposed King James II & VII and won him the crowns of England, Scotland and Ireland. In the British Isles, William ruled jointly with his wife, Mary II, until her death on 28 December 1694. The period of their joint reign is often referred to as "William and Mary". A Protestant, William participated in several wars against the powerful Catholic king of France, Louis XIV, in coalition with Protestant and Catholic powers in Europe. Many Protestants heralded him as a champion of their faith. Largely because of that reputation, William was able to take the British crowns when many were fearful of a revival of Catholicism under James. William's victory over James at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 is commemorated by the Orange Institution in Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland to this day. His reign marked the beginning of the transition from the personal rule of the Stuarts to the more-Parliament-centred rule of the House of Hanover.

Josef Pilsudski

Quote:

General Josef Klemens Pilsudski (1867-1935), a long-time proponent of the cause of Polish nationalism, led a Polish force which invaded Russia during early August 1914 while favouring an Allied success in the west. Pilsudski, born in Russian Poland, found himself exiled by the Russians to Siberia for five years from 1887 after campaigning on behalf of the Polish nationalist cause. He nevertheless returned in time at the head of the National Socialist Party and became editor of left-wing newspaper Robotnik. Having formed a military unit he used it to undertake raids upon banks while at the same time murdering members of the Tsarist police force. In September 1908 Pilsudski and his associates successfully stole some 200,000 roubles from a mail train in Bezdany, which he subsequently used to fund the formation of a fresh revolutionary army. When war in Europe broke out in early August 1914 Pilsudski seized the opportunity to personally lead Polish troops in an invasion of Russia on 6 August in a loose alliance with the Austrians, although he envisaged Polish independence stemming from an Allied victory in the west combined with a Russian defeat in the east.

Even though I'm not French, I find this man really interesting:

Bertrand du Guesclin (c. 1320 – 13 July 1380), known as the Eagle of Brittany or the Black Dog of Brocйliande, was a Breton knight and French military commander during the Hundred Years' War. He was Constable of France from 1370 to his death. Well known for his Fabian strategy, he took part in six pitched battles and won the four in which he held command.

Bertrand du Guesclin was born at the Chateau de la Motte de Broen in Broons, near Dinan, in Brittany. His family was of minor Breton nobility, the seigneurs of Broons.
