5. William Iii of England -- King William Iii
   Williamsburg County was probably named for King William III of England (1650-1702). Scotch-Irish and French Huguenot settlers began moving into this part of the lowcountry around 1732, and in 1736 the township of Williamsburg was laid out on the Black River in the vicinity of the settlement of Kingstree. This area was part of Prince Frederick Parish, which in turn was part of Georgetown District. In 1804 Williamsburg became a separate district, with the seat at Kingstree. A small part of Williamsburg later went to form Florence County in 1888. During the Revolutionary War many of General Francis Marion's men hailed from this area, including Major John James (1732-1791).
6. Innocent Iii, Pope
   The official text of the Rule of St. Francis was approved on November 29, 1223 A.D. by Pope Honorius III in the Bull Solet Annuere. Hence it is customary to present the text of the Rule within that of the papal decree (as is done below within square brackets). The original of the Bull is kept at the Sacro Convento in Assisi. 2 K. Esser holds that, in all probability, St. Francis wrote the text of the Rule, which it requotes, in his own hand, sometime between Pentecost and November of 1223 A.D.. 3

8. Laurence Olivier -- Richard Iii
   Laurence Olivier was one of the most famous and revered actors of the 20th century. Along with his contemporaries Gielgud, Ashcroft and Richardson, he played a wide variety of roles on stage and screen from Greek tragedy, Shakespeare and  Restoration comedy to modern American and British drama.  He was the first artistic director of the National Theatre of Great Britain and its main stage is named in his honour.
9. William Iii of England
   The future William III of England was born on his mother’s nineteenth birthday in an atmosphere of profound funereal gloom. The baby’s father had died of smallpox only eight days before and the room in the Binnenhof, the inner court of the family’s house at The Hague, was draped in black. The young widow and her attendants were all in deep mourning and the bed and even the cradle were swathed in black. The child was born between eight and nine at night and crowds gathered in the streets to celebrate. Fireworks soared and poets hastily scribbled verses about a new fruit on the orange tree. Inside the Binnenhof a sudden draught in the birth-chamber put out all the candles.
10. Lex Luthor -- Superman Iii
    Lex Luthor is a fictional DC Comics supervillain. Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, the character first appeared in Action Comics #23 (1940). Luthor has played divergent roles within the separate continuities of DC Comics, ranging from pulp-inspired mad scientist to amoral businessman.[1] Following a character makeover during the 1960s, an origin story depicted Luthor as an embittered scientist who blames Superman for a lab accident which caused him to go bald. In the 1980s, he was rewritten as a Machiavellian industrialist and white-collar criminal, even briefly serving as President of the United States.[2] He is regarded as the archenemy of Superman.
