    I believe that is Charles III of Spain.

    America was named after him. You're definitely right but I think Oda has to confirm.

    It is in fact Amerigo Vespucci. So that means it's Geyserik's turn.

    Hermann von Salza, grandmaster of the teutonic order?
    Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.
