Jean I of Bourbon (1381-1434) was Duke of Bourbon from 1410 and Duke of Auvergne from 1416 until his death. He was the eldest son of Louis II and Anne of Auvergne.

Anne of Austria, Duchess of Bavaria (1318-1343) was the youngest daughter of Frederick the Fair, of Austria and his wife, Isabella of Aragon.

Between 1326 and 1328, Anna married Henry XV, Duke of Bavaria. The marriage was short; Henry died in 1333 and the couple had no issue.

William II (1056-1100) was categorically denounced in his time and after his death for presiding over what was considered a dissolute court, in terms that, in modern times, would have raised questions about his sexuality. In keeping with Norman tradition, William II held both the English and their culture in contempt.

Joanna of Bourbon (1338-1378) was the daughter of Pierre I, Duke of Bourbon, and Isabelle of Valois, sister of Philip VI.

She married the Dauphin Charles, grandson of King Philip VI and son of King John II. In 1364, upon the latter's death, he succeeded him under the name of Charles V and Joanna became Queen of France.

After his coronation on May 19, 1364, the king grew closer to his wife, and the couple became very close. Charles V frequently sought his wife's advice, both in politics and in matters of literature and art.

Emperor Michael Rhangabes (770-844) was named Byzantine emperor (811-813) after a palace revolt against his brother-in-law Stauratius in 811.

The most striking feature of Michael's reign was his great liberality, which marked a definitive break with the economic restrictions of Nicephorus I. He made lavish donations to the Church, members of the Senate, and the soldiers who had supported his candidacy. Within 18 months, he had squandered most of the funds raised by his father-in-law.

Bernabò Visconti (1319-1385) was Lord of Milan between 1349 and 1385, along with his uncle Giovanni, his brothers Matteo and Galeazzo, and his nephew Gian Galeazzo.

Despotism and high taxes to maintain his wars eventually turned all Milanese against Bernabé, who was deposed by his cousin Gian Galeazzo Visconti in 1385. He was imprisoned in the castle of Trezzo sull'Adda and in December of that year he was poisoned.

Lugaid V was, according to medieval Irish legend and historical tradition, a High King of Ireland.

He was the son of the three findemna, triplet sons of Eochu Feidlech, and their sister Clothru.

Lugaid was conceived of incest. The night before the three findemna (Bres, Nár and Lothar) made war for the High Kingship against their father in the Battle of Druimm Criaich, their sister Clothru, concerned that her brothers could die without heirs, seduced all three of them, and a son, Lugaid, was conceived.
