Then that would be Lepidus...
Yes, Lepidus, the third member of the second Triumviri but overshadowed by his collegeauges Octavian and Marc Anthony. He also started out as an officer of Caesar if I'm not mistaken, Caesar who was later deified. In the end he plotted against Octavian who stripped Lepidus of his ranks, legions and titels safe that of Pontifex Maximus.
Guess it's my turn then ?
I was the first European to set foot on the American continent. Who am I ?
Leif Erikson?
thats a debatable question, but i too would say Leif Erikson.
Leif Erikson, it is.
You are not correct, Meth.
Bah, he didn't belong on this continent.
Carry it away, Andros Antonius.
Alright, this is a medieval historian and child of the Byzantine emperor during the First Crusade, and wrote an account of his reign and the passing of the crusaders by Constantinople on the way to the Holy Land.
That was that princess, what's-her-face.
EDIT: Wow, I can't believe I had to use google for her, as her name should be so easy to remember. She was Anna Comnena, daughter of the well-known Alexius Comnenus (who's name, btw, I do easily recall). It's interesting to see a female historian in her times.
wow, i knew both of them and i had no clue she was a historian.
She wrote the Chronicles of her father's reign, in fact... A bit biased but a true historian work...
so methsualahs turn then.
Didn't she refer to the western crusaders as "barbarians"? I remember reading an exerpt of her work once in this book on the First Crusade a couple years ago, and I could literally hear her voice reading it out.
Anyways, here we go: this battle in the late 1800's is largely accepted to be the last major conflict between First Nations on what is now contemporary Canadian soil.
Northwest Rebellion?
Nope.Quote:
