Who is your favorite historical figure?

Favourite! What is it with this word favourite? No I do not have a favourite historical character, make it hysterical and I could name a very short list. But re the historical gosh make it a dinner party and who would I invite and why, now that would be so much more fun. I would have to have a party from the past every week and I would make sure that the characters were well matched to say the least.

Now having said all of the above I think for now I am going to say Genghis Khan…. Yes the same man who has been said to have been a monster, who unified several nomadic tribes in his Mongol homeland then was proclaimed as the ruler of all Mongols by 1216. By 1219 he ruled from Northern China to the Afghan border and from Siberia to the border of Tibet. Yes there are horrific stories about him but have you notice in history horror stories are spread to keep any good a person may have done quiet. Yes millions were slaughtered not condoning it but these things happened each time after he was double crossed he sought to teach that nation a lesson so the books say. He did many good things but this is not supposed to be a history lesson. He definitely would be one of my first guests at an afterlife dinner party, along with Mother Theresa. Yes I have my table set and list waiting just hope they have a sense a humour, but at the end of the day what’s the worst that can happen someone dies. Oops 🙊
