Name that historical figure!

Yes, its Beate Uhse. I don't know what's more impressive her career as pilot or that her first business ( pratical sexual education) saved hundreds of german women to die because of the methods of untrained abortionists ('Engelmacherinnen').

Its your turn.

since no one tried to guess it, it's hint time I'd say

Nobel prize winner

**Flinn** · February 16, 2021, 05:03 AM

Artur Holly Compton, he won the Nobel for the discovery of the effect that has his name.

**Muizer** · February 16, 2021, 06:43 AM

correct

**Flinn** · February 16, 2021, 07:28 AM

**Flinn** · February 17, 2021, 03:45 AM

so, hint time

the actual depiction is from a later period, so it's certainly deceiving.

he's the first of a line of kings who brought his same name, but it is his nickname which makes him famous, very famous in our modern times...

**Flinn** · February 18, 2021, 04:07 AM

ok so, he was instrumental for the unification of his country and for the introduction of Christianity as a "state" religion ...

**Flinn** · February 18, 2021, 07:59 AM

I just realized I made a stupid mistake, it's his nickname nor surname that is very famous nowadays

so, summarizing the hints

- He's the first of a line of kings who brought his same name, but it is his nickname which makes him famous, very famous in our modern times...
- He was instrumental for the unification of his country and for the introduction of Christianity as a "state" religion ...

Charles le Magne?

**Flinn** · February 18, 2021, 09:08 AM

not, he's about 150 years later and definitely norther than the good Carlomagno

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · February 18, 2021, 09:18 AM

Henry the Fowler?

**Flinn** · February 18, 2021, 09:36 AM

Nope, and we already had him not long ago, didn't we?

However, focus on the "nickname" part because it's very revealing ...

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · February 18, 2021, 09:40 AM

Otto I, the Great, Emperor of the HRR?

**Flinn** · February 18, 2021, 09:59 AM

no!

let me repeat the hint: his nickname is very famous in our modern times

edit: and his line had few others with a different name in it, so don't focus on that much

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · February 18, 2021, 10:10 AM

Obviously not famous enough for me. I give up.^^

**Flinn** · February 18, 2021, 10:14 AM

ok last hint, it has to do with a widely used technology

**Muizer** · February 18, 2021, 04:51 PM

Ah perhaps .... Harald 'Bluetooth' Gormsson?

**Morticia Iunia Bruti** · February 18, 2021, 05:46 PM

It must be Harald Bluetooth Gormson.

I have seen his figure in Kobenhavn bei Madame Tussaud.
