Alexander the Great was born in 356 B.C. His father, Philip, was the brother of King Perdiccas III of Macedon or Macedonia, in northern Greece. His mother was Philip's wife Olympias, daughter of King Neoptolemus I of Epirus, in modern Albania. Alexander had a younger sister, Cleopatra (not the famous Egyptian queen).
Alexander's First Great Victory
The Persians hoped to win the Battle of the Granicus by killing King Alexander III. But in his first major action in Asia, the Macedonian commander employed tactics that would win him an empire. By John R. Mixter More than any other ancient military figure, Alexander the Great has served as the model for Western field commanders throughout history. Even today, Alexander's many contributions to the art of warfare and his feats of generalship continue to warrant study in military academies around the world.
Herdeiro de uma família que ascendera ao trono dos Francos justamente por dar combate aos mouros, Carlos Magno não traiu aos seus. Continuou movendo uma luta tenaz contra o Islã. Em 778 estava em frente a Saragoça, onde fracassou em tentar tomar o sitio dos mouros.
Carlomagno nació probablemente en Aquisgrán (Aix-la-Chapelle, en la actual Alemania), el 2 de abril del año 742, hijo del rey franco Pipino el Breve y nieto de Carlos Martel. Su nombre, en latín, Carolus Magnus quiere decir Carlos el Grande. Fue rey de los francos (768 - 814) y emperador de los romanos (800 - 814), condujo a sus ejércitos francos a la victoria sobre otros numerosos pueblos, y estableció su dominio en la mayor parte de Europa Central y occidental.
