1769 Napoleon Bonaparte - Emperor of France, born on the island of Corsica. He expanded the French Empire until curbed by an allied coalition which sent him into exile to the island of Elba. He returned to fight again, this time at Waterloo, which led to his final exile on the remote south Atlantic island of St. Helena

I wish someone would banish me to the south Atlantic island of St. Helena.







1057 MacBeth – King of Scotland. He was killed at the Battle of Lumphanan, by Malcolm Canmore, whose father, King Duncan I, was murdered by MacBeth 17 years earlier.

His wife Gruoch? I don't think I've ever heard called anything but Lady MacBeth.

Lady Macbeth is a complex and powerful character known for her ambition and ruthlessness. Some of her most notable quotes include: "Look like the innocent flower, But be the serpent under 't," "Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here," "Out, damned spot! out, I say!," and "When you durst do it, then you were a man". These quotes highlight her manipulative nature, her desire to shed her feminine qualities to commit evil acts, and her taunting of Macbeth's manhood.
