I was a leader of men. I fought in a foreign countries civil war, disliked the luxury of the officers, ate and drank with my men, and slept in a noncom tent. I defend a city against the British, before dressing like a private to escape. I am known physically for my flaming red beard.
Who am I? What city did I defend and escape from?
.
A wild, uneducated guess culd be La Fayette. No idea on the details though.
.
Barbarossa?
Neither.
I think we need a clue here, no one's giving a guess.:sweatdrop:Quote:

A clue: My nickname was Electric Wiskers, after my red beard.
Annibale Bergonzoli. Italian Lieutenant General during Spanish Civil War. Had no idea about him, this was a really hard question.Quote:

Bergonzoli did in fact fight in the Spanish Civil War, and the city he defended was Bardia against the British.
Wouldn't of had a clue if it were for your clue, anyway I think I'll pass the question. You can ask another one, but make sure it's not as hard as the last one.:yes:Quote:

I also I cannot tell a lie, even when its about lumber removal.
General George Washington :beam: right?
Your turn.
One of the most imporatant figures of the Spanish Reconquista, and the only person to have ever meted out a defete to the Almoravid dynasty in the Iberian peninsula. A champion by name and by fame. Who is he?
El Cid?
Yup. Your turn.
A very tall man born in Guernsey and served in the British Army, he is revered by a certain bunch of people who like maple syrup for winning a staggering victory against the odds along the Niagara frontier.
Easy.
Is it Sir Isaac Brock?Quote:

I came to my throne at a young age, married when I was 26 to a German princess. I was an extremely skilled military commander and participated in one of the biggest conflict ever fought in Europe, and unfortunately died in one of the battles after leading a cavalry charge into the enemy and became separated from the main army.
Still no answers? I think I’ve given enough clues. :inquisitive:
Gustavus Adolphus?
Bingo, your turn Samartian.:beam:
I had a great father but I proved to be greater still. Those that came in the years after me were even greater. My father died in a great battle against infidels, and I succeded him, by strangling my brother. My reign was glorious until one man even greater than I defeated me. Who am I?
I believe it's easy, but if you think it's hard I'll give some additional clues...
A wild guess would be Frederick II, probably need to check on that.
Not those infidels, the other infidels :laugh4:.
Kidding. A hint - I was muslim.
Murad II?
No, but close.
