"Oda Nobunaga was a major daimyo during the Sengoku period of Japanese history. ... Nobunaga lived a life of continuous military conquest, eventually conquering most of Japan before his death in 1582."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oda_Nobunaga

The guy almost became the Shogun; he would have, but he was assassinated before he could manage it. In Japan, he's practically a superhero.

Poor guy, having a girl's name though.

Is Oda a girl's name in Norway? It isn't in the USA. And anyway, Oda was the dude's last name.

[Nikolai]

Yes it is. It's an old Norse name which means wealth.

El Cid is on the list because he had the potential to be much greater had he not been killed when he was. Most (but not all ) of the people on this list were in the process of carving kingdoms for themselves when they died or were horribly defeated, or both.

P.S. I fixed your Harold Godwineson score. You only took one point away.

Understood, thanks a lot for the explanation (and for the fixing)
