    Young lady with a sword.
    Shouldn't be too hard considered not many women had any reason to be depicted with a sword in history.

    Count Károly Khuen-Héderváry de Hédervár

    I had no Idea of who he is but I managed to find him in a very convoluted way looking for the chain.

    Correct! You really guessed it fast... I tried to make it difficult by pulling out some of the most obscure people out there
    I heard of the Hedervary guy in a history lesson some years ago and decided to post him here.
    Your turn

    p.s. Where do I find the button to +rep? I get the impression that I don't have it at all for being a newcomer. If that is the case I would return here and +rep people as soon as I get the chance to.

    You need to be here for over 3 weeks I think, or get 50+ posts I can't remember. Then a small green "+" sign will be seen at the bottom beneath your post count and avatar etc.

    The kid in the middle? That's Amakusa Shiro a self proclaimed son of God and one of the instigators of the Christian Revolt at Nagasaki in 1637.

    Cool picture, you can have rep for that alone - might be the coolest picture ever for this thread! (taking a copy for my personal gallery).
