Hello guys, I was wondering what information people has on national heros, their deeds and who they primarily struggled against. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm looking for just a better background, NOT a political arguement. Please keep your OPINIONS of national heroes to another thread, I'm looking only for background.
This stems from a capsule in Norman Davies "Europe: A History" entitled "El Cid" in which is discusses the role of the national hero.
I've done some basic research into some of those listed such as El Cid, George Castriota and am familiar with the story of William Wallace. I've also been reading up on more recent national heroes such as Simon Bolivar and those which flourished during the British Empire, such as Wellington or Nelson.
I would like to know more, if people can list information, on people such as Andreas Hofer and Janosik.
Any help would be appreciated Thanks in advance;
Basiliscus.
