It's a great idea.

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.

So was Marat, with a Sardinian father. :) At least the place where he was born now belongs to Switzerland, and at the time he was born it belonged to Prussia. It's all really complicated when it comes to ancestry.

Cheers for including Alain Prost, the all-time GOAT of Formula 1.
