History (Arts & Humanities) - December 2006

i'm trying to write a sonnet, and have a great back story, but i need it to be based on an actual life as part of the assignment. (shrug). I kind of want a name of a real historical figure who everyone thought was not going to succeed (due to his dubious male pro background) but was able to turn his life around and become someone famous and worth knowing.

Already tried to google search this but all i found were female pros.

Thanks in advance (don't worry though, if i can't find any actual historical figures, I probably will just change the subject)
