Leonardo DaVinci of course - he defines the renaissance
Charles V, king of Spain and Holy Roman emperor early 1500s.
Elizabeth I of England and events leading up to the Spanish armada of 1588.
William Shakespeare
The fall of Constantinople in 1453 is a very big deal.
The last major episode of the Black death (bubonic plague) and the London fire of 1665 and 1666 respectively [ because
I like English history].
St. Bartholomew's Day massacre of August 1572 is a major indicator of the savage strife between Catholics and Protestants in Europe
The beheading of Charles I of England in January 1649 - - they actually killed a divinely ordained monarch (WOW).
It was the beginning of the end of absolute monarchy in Europe though Louis XIV of France would still define absolute monarchs in the latter 1600s and absolute rulers would persist until the Czar was killed in 1918.
