We will live our lives, die, and soon be forgotten, and everything we did, and said, and were, will die with us. The characters featured in this book, have all made their mark on history. They will not be forgotten, but will live on in time, in legend, in reality, and in myth. This book is not intended, however, to be a thorough examination of their life and times. It merely paints the picture. It is popular history, a short-cut to events.

Much of the content can no doubt be debated, but then history is not a science. It is interpretative and in a constant state of flux, and in history evidence does not serve as proof
