^ this is the A - Z game, so there ought to have been a Q. However, after all the indian chiefs we've had already there are not many Q first names left. So I suggest that we skip it and move on to the R.

Richard Plantagenet - Better known as Richard Lionheart. English King from 1189 to 1199. He is frequently described as a most chivalrous knight and a good king. However, doubts about this are not inappropriate. During his rein he spend only six months in England, and during the 3rd crussade he ordered massacres among prisoners which (though such crimes were frequently commited in the medieval times) are not exactly chivalrous. He died from an arrow wound at the shoulder he received while sieging a French castle.

Thomas Jefferson - He did most of the drafting for the American declaration of independence and became the third president of the United States. He is supposed to be one of the smartest people who ever sat in the Oval Office (when John F. Kennedy had a dinner with a large groub of American Nobel prize winners in the white house he pointed out (analogously) that there had probably never been as much intelligence assembled there, except maybe when Jefferson ate dinner there by himself). During his presidency the size of the United States was almost doubled through the Louisiana purchase 1803.

When after Edward's death Anglo Saxon earl Harold was crowned as king of England William invaded England, defeated the Anglo Saxon army in the battle of Hastings (October 14th 1066) and became king.

(I don't want this game to be forgotten. I'm sure nobody will be blamed for skipping the complicate letters following the W).
