Sir Winston Churchill, he led this country at a time of desperate need.
Also consider William Shakespeare who contributed so much to our language.

The Duke of Wellington. Smartest military tacticain ever. He outfoxed Napolean all the way through Spain and France and Waterloo was a stroke of genius. And what did he get for it? Nelson got a column in a square dedicated to his victory, whereas Wellington got boots and a really crumby station. Outrageous.

Leonardo da Vinci
he invented the aeroplane, the helocopter, the submarine, the robot and a ton of other things hundreds of years before the technology was available for people to believe these things were possible. plus he had a wicked sense of humour.
