"William the Conquerer because he's my many times great grandfather."
This for me too. I was just at Winchester cathedral which he commissioned and I would dearly love to witness the battle of Hastings. Plus life in general at that time would fascinate me. |

Boudicca as she had proverbial balls to take the Romans on. But mainly because I am fascinated by ancient history and spirituality, would love to have seen her tribe’s culture, society and religious beliefs  |

"Vlad the impaler...... I'd ask him why?  "
He impaled one of his servants for holding their nose at the stench from rotted impaled corpses, so am sure you would meet the same fate if you simply asked him why  what a way to go though  |

Definitely a bonus for me, especially as many iron age warriors apparently charged into battle naked  |

"Hitler. There was a rumour that he had only one ball. So I'd like to kick him as hard as I could in the nuts so it's now a fact."
I was going to say Hitler, but not for that reason, I wanted to find out where he stashed all the gold and loot the Nazis were supposed to have had. |

No Gandalf?? "
Nah. Merlin’s sort of mythical/real so to get to bottom of who and what he was would be interesting |

"William the Conquerer because he's my many times great grandfather.
I hope you can speak french, I don't think he spoke English "
I don't think any of the Kings could for at least a few centuries after the conquest. |

It's not a rumour, he lost a testicle due to shrapnel wound in the first world war |

"I think I would like to talk to Charles Darwin or maybe Galileo Galilee, conquesting people like generals are boring and frankly stupid imo. Scientists are more interesting."
How about the scientists from the ancient world? People like Pythagoras and Archimedes and Galen? |

I've often pondered this very point.
It actually changes from day to day, but I keep coming back to the same choices.
The Mark Brothers
Oh sorry, thought you said Hysterical...
Historical, would be Karl Marx
Not much difference really... |

"Am I allowed to say Hitler, but specifically pre-1933 and is it possible for me to assassinate him?
Yes and yes "
Excellent, I'll do that. However, a pre-2017 version of me will have to go, because otherwise I'd probably not be capable of doing the job. |
