what historic figures do you wish you knew more about not related to the tudors or wotr?

Frida Kahlo! I am ~fake fan~; I’ve only read a few articles about her and listened to a few podcasts. I hope to read a full biography one day; she is fascinating to me and I feel such a kinship with her as someone who is also ‘strange’/weird and considered unattractive (was bullied about my appearance on similar traits, my eyebrows and facial hair etc, when I was a kid). Also as someone else who has physical health issues, as well as anxiety and depression, I relate to her a lot. 

Beyond that; I’m interested in women primarily– famous mistresses tend to be interesting to me. 

And authors, would love to learn more about Christine de Pizan, for instance.

Would like to learn more about Charles II, there aren’t many documentaries about him…it’s been hard to read, I might try to read Fraser’s book on him if I ever get a chance.
