Galileo was deemed a heretic by the Holy Roman Catholic Church for daring to suggest that the Earth was NOT the centre of the universe. He spent his final years under house arrest for his views and yet without him mankind would have lived in ignorance for a lot lot longer.
I admire a man who goes up against the established order on issues he knows to be wrong and also knows he faces severe hardship or even death for doing so.
That takes real balls. |

"Vlad the Impaler...okay, so he had a few anger issues but he knew how to 'inspire' loyalty amongst his own troops... "
Also knew how to demand respect from the emissaries of his enemies - when they refused to remove their turbans he had them nailed to their heads!
Vlad Tepes( son of Vlad Dracul) is best known to us as the inspiration for Dracula but to the people of the Carpathians he is a hero who held back the Islamic Hordes against almost impossible odds in the C15th. It is because of him & his fellow Knights in the Order of the Dragon Western Europe is Christian & not Islamic. |
