    Aristophanes? I studied a lot of his works during college; not particularly funny, but very contextual humour to be fair.

    I knew I saw that guy somewhere. The entire time I was just yelling "Clausewitz, Clausewitz!" inside of me but I knew that was wrong. I totally forgot Jomini existed. Damn Switzerland for being so forgettable.

    Hans-Joachim Marseille, one "ace" of the aviation. Like many others he served in the Luftwaffe (Nazi Aviation), but his life came to an abrupt end in 1942, in Egypt, I guess. The WW2 is my favourite subject in history, beside the Portuguese Discoveries, you could made it more difficult pal

    Isn't Elegabalus like the only kid emperor or something? He never did anything of note except maybe being a very promiscuous gay.

    Unidentified king of the Scythians in the Behistun inscription?

    There were other child emperors like Honorius, plus lots of child co-emperors with their fathers who don't really count but are in the lists.

    Emperor Kangxi, I guess? Also named Shengzu. Was the second monarch of the Qing dinasty to rule over China.
