    Default Greatest hero in Western-European history?

    Many of us seem to be concerned with the heroic, so why not discuss, as Carlyle put it, the heroic in history? I'm generally inclined to consider figures that beat back alien hordes, but anyone will do. I've included some nominees in the poll, though such a list, by its nature, can only be incomplete. Some might even be deemed pre-Western or even 'pre-European'.

    "Free, do you call yourself? Then I would hear your ruling thought, and not merely that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you one of those who had the right to escape from a yoke? Many a one has cast away his last worth when he has cast away his servitude. Free from what? What does that matter to Zarathustra! But your fiery eyes should tell me: free for what?" - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

    I see I accidentally posted Washington twice. Can a mod delete that?

    Obviously Don Pelayo, el gran reconquistador.

    He represents the european resistance to the Islamic Invasion.




    The west needs another hero of his kind.


    Antes de subir al cadalso, Juan de Padilla se dirigió a su camarada Juan Bravo con unas célebres palabras: "Señor Bravo: ayer era día de pelear como caballero...hoy es día de morir como cristiano". Ante esto, Juan Bravo pidió ser ejecutado antes que Padilla, "…para no ver la muerte de tan buen caballero". Horas más tarde, también fue ejecutado y decapitado el salmantino Francisco Maldonado.

    It pains me to say, but it is William the Conqueror for me. Without the Isles of Britain having been transformed by this man, the whole of Europe would have been a different entity.

    To be fair you'd need a list so big to list every single European hero (with relevant impact on the World), a poll like this on such a small comunity forum is hardly worth it.

    Alexander Nevsky of course.

    Be creative, invent a perversion.
