Emperor Norton. I love this guy.Seriously, he does sound like a decent bloke. I love the story about him halting an anti-Chinese riot simply by reciting the Lord's Prayer.

When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

Joseph Radetzky von Radetz, the great Austrian military mastermind who kept the ailing Habsburg empire breathing through the great trials of 1848. Would that he had lived longer, or was born later, for he would have met and overcome Moltke's match.

The fabulous crossdressing Prince Eugene of Savoy who gave a whole new meaning to army camp. Also one of the great commanders of his age.
