    correct, it's Frederick IV of Palatinate, although I'd would have preferred the country as well, since there's been at least a dozen Frederick IV (Gottorp, Denmark, Sicily, Austria, Naples, Brandenburg... missed any?)

    Judging by the fact that you are Greek, and this man's moustache https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charilaos_Trikoupis I would say it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charilaos_Trikoupis ?

    Found him. He's actually one of Trikoupis' successors, Theodorus Deligiannis, prime-minister of Greece for five (!) times.

    Thanks. Meanwhile, in Medieval Europe:

    The skeleton lost the trial, but then he won the appeal. However, the prosecution reappealed and then the skeleton lost. I'm not kidding. Who is the skeleton?

    The skeleton is Pope Formosus. His corpse was brought to trial by Pope Stephanus VI accused for simony.
