Probably Charlamagne. Dude had the first real empire since the Roman Empire fell. Unfortunately his empire fell apart after his death.

Edward I of England- as he crossed a bridge back into England after defeating Scotland

Not totally. It was the start of the Holy Roman Empire that lasted through the Hapsburgs. The Vikings caused a lot of problems after Charlemagne but the infrastructure was there. Alfred the Great figured out how to contain the Vikings. He is also worth a shout out.

I’m guessing Lady Godiva had a pretty nice figure.

Good one. Between him, mine (Pope Urban II), and Constantine... three major reasons why Christianity exists today.

Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury for putting aside his loyalty to his former friend, King Henry II, in order to stand for his beliefs in the church and his greater allegiance to God that ultimately cost him his life. The classic movie "Becket" starring Richard Burton as Thomas Becket and Peter O'Toole as King Henry II is a must see if you are interested in this fascinating story.
