Hmm, I suppose it's not the obvious choice of William the Conqueror. It must be an imported general who commanded during a civil war or invasion, but I have no idea about a name.
Actually the first name that came to mind was Mel Gibson.![]()

On the right track
my name is not recorded in the places of honor my victories unrecorded in the selfsame places I had fallen out of favor probably due to my own infidelity.
I died destitute in the Americas, after I achieved more victories for my new homeland.
I did not become a king like William of Orange or William the Conqueror I was just a General.

Thanks, cowboy!
I am a noble lady and I was married to Henry VIII. My father was the Count of Mark and he was born in 1490.
His great-grandfather was a nobleman. Who was his successor?

Well, I made a mistake while writing the question, but the way it is: Yes, I am John III, Duke of Cleves
It's all yours!

I said John II. Is John III another mistake?
Anywho.... I am a famous Roman writer. I've made a 5-book collection and dedicated it to a Roman emperor. My quotes are periodically used in Rome: Total War. Who am I?
"Please continue with your threats; I would hate to submit to implication alone." -Cicero.
Woops...
I wild guess, am I Publius Cornelius Tacitus?

Not quite. Here's another hint.
I made my 5-book collection in the 4th century.
"Please continue with your threats; I would hate to submit to implication alone." -Cicero.
It's been a while since ancient history at school, but would it be Plutarch, and his Nine Lives?

That is also wrong. I was not as elaborate on the quotes in RTW.
Correction: My quotes are mostly used in RTW.
And maybe this is a giveaway - One of my quotes is: "Valor is superior to number."
"Please continue with your threats; I would hate to submit to implication alone." -Cicero.
Hmm, am I Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus?

Bingo! Over to you, Sadiq!![]()
"Please continue with your threats; I would hate to submit to implication alone." -Cicero.
Ah, good ol Vego, forgot about him!
"All things are born from darkness, and all things return to darkness". Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
yes the quote was a giveaway I presume?
"Please continue with your threats; I would hate to submit to implication alone." -Cicero.
Yeah! Listen carefully infidels!
I wrote a romance consisting of 9234 lines. Each line consists of 8 syllables.
I died before my work was finished. Who am I and how is my famous work called?

Easy. But I'll let someone else answer this. (Unless you guys get it wrong 3 times, I'm going for it)![]()
"Please continue with your threats; I would hate to submit to implication alone." -Cicero.
Jehan le Vaillant de Poitiers
jk..jk.. its Chretien de Troyes. (did I misspell it?). the romance is not a romance per se-Percival aferall, revolved round the quest for the Holy Grail. (or was it the holy rail..or the holy railgun..or even holy handgrenade)
well, sunshine, that didn't happen now. you should have pounced when ye had the chance![]()
