Johann Weeze
Johan Weze, also known as Johan von Weeze, was a secretary of King Christian II of Denmark and a diplomat at the service of the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In 1522, he was appointed Archbishop of Lund. He followed Christian II into exile but resigned as his secretary when Christian refused to follow the policies of his brother-in-law the Emperor Charles V. In 1527 Weze joined the service of the Emperor as a diplomat and participated in numerous missions in the Holy Roman Empire. He was appointed Prince Bishop of Constance in 1537, a post he held until his death in 1548.
Étienne Colaud
Étienne Colaud (also Étienne Collault was a French illuminator and book dealer, active in Paris between 1512 and 1540. A number of surviving archives indicate that he was based on the Île de la Cité, close to the cathedral of Notre-Dame, and that other family members also worked in the book trade. His clientele came from leading families of the time, including great land owners, top prelates, and even the king himself. Using a Book of hours that carries his name, scholars have attributed approximately twenty manuscripts to him by analysing the techniques and style applied. There are also a number of religious books, translations into French from Latin or Italian, chivalric narratives and illuminated texts. Étienne Colaud's style is strongly influenced by his near contemporary, the Parisian illuminator Jean Pichore, but his work indicates that he was also networked with virtually every other Paris book-artist of the period.
Tom Bevan
Tom Bevan (1868–1938), who also wrote under the pseudonym Walter Bamfylde, was a British writer of boys' adventure stories.
Johannes Wennecker
Johannes Wennecker, also Johannes Wennecker der Ältere, was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Auxiliary Bishop of Münster (1454–1469).
Fajsz
Fajsz, also Falicsi, was Grand Prince of the Hungarians from about 950 to around 955. All information on him comes from De administrando imperio, a book written by the Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. No other contemporary source or later Hungarian chronicle preserved his name, suggesting that he did not take an active role in the politics of the Hungarian tribes' confederation.
Yaqob
Yaqob I, throne name Malak Sagad II, was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1597 to 1606, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was the eldest surviving son of Sarsa Dengel. According to E. A. Wallis Budge, Yaqob's mother was Empress Maryam Sena; others sources suggest she was Emebet Harego of the Beta Israel. Because Yaqob had at least three sons before his death, it is likely he was born no later than 1590. Most Ethiopian sources including Tekle Tsadik Mekuria however state that his mother was Harego, but that Empress Maryam Sena championed his right to the throne as she only bore Emperor Sarsa Dengel daughters, and hoped to dominate a long term regency for the boy monarch.
Catellus of Castellammare
Saint Catellus of Castellamare was a bishop of Castellamare di Stabia. He was a close friend of Saint Antoninus of Sorrento. Tradition states that Antoninus, fleeing the Lombard invasions, headed for Campania where he ended up at Castellammare di Stabia. Here Catellus was bishop but wishing to become a hermit, gave up his office as bishop and entrusted Antoninus with the task of serving as the town's bishop. Catellus withdrew to Monte Aureo.
