You should include Saint Louis or St. Louis as a type-in, though. He is known as that after all, not only Louis the Saint.
Personally, I'm also sorry that you didn't include Jean-Jacques Rousseau or Marie de France or François Villon, my personal favourites. But this is just fault-finding. You can't have everything.
I really appreciate your work, and it's so very interesting to see so many people from all walks of life in one quiz.
