Egbert (c. 950 – 9 December 993) was the Archbishop of Trier from 977 until his death. Egbert was a son of Dirk II, Count of Holland. After being trained in Egmond Abbey, founded and controlled by his family, and at the court of Bruno I, Archbishop of Cologne, he became the chancellor of Otto II in 976. The following year he was appointed to the archdiocese of Trier, still probably in his twenties. He accompanied Otto II on visits to Italy in 980 and 983, and may have made other trips there. After Otto II's death in 983, he joined the party supporting the succession of Henry the Quarrelsome, Duke of Bavaria, rather than Otto III, but returned to supporting Otto in 985. Egbert was a significant patron of science and the arts, who established one or more workshops of goldsmiths and enamellers at Trier, which produced works for other Ottonian centres and the Imperial court. Beginning with his tenure, Trier came to rival Mainz and Cologne as the artistic centre of the Ottonian world. These were the three most important episcopal sees in Germany, who at this period disputed the primacy of the emerging German (East Frankish) kingdom between them.

in November 1961.]] Werner M. Wiskari (May 16, 1918, Michigan – December 8, 2008, Wakefield, Charlestown, Rhode Island, United States) was a Finnish-American journalist who worked for The New York Times for 36 years. Wiskari's parents were Finnish immigrants. Wiskari served in Pacific Theater of World War II as a member of the U.S. Navy. After the war he studied journalism at Columbia University and began his career with The New York Times in 1948 as a radio news scriptwriter. From 1958–1964, Wiskari was a correspondent for the New York Times in Northern Europe. He was based in Stockholm, where he reported on the annual Nobel Prize award winners, the difficulties both Sweden as well as Finland faced with staying neutral in the shadow of the Soviet Union during the midst of the Cold War, and about general Nordic life. In 1959, Wiskari was the first foreign journalist to interview the President of Finland Urho Kekkonen. Wiskari visited Kekkonen several times in Helsinki, Finland even after his post ended in Stockholm. In 1968, Wiskari became an assistant to the foreign news editor at The New York Times. Shortly thereafter, in 1971, he served as a member of a team of editors who were charged with preparing the Pentagon papers which covered the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War for publication. In 1978, Wiskari reported that Finnish President Urho Kekkonen was suffering from memory problems. He was the only western journalist to do so because the Finnish media censored the illness of the president. In the 1980s, Wiskari reported on the Iran–Iraq War. Wiskari retired from journalism in 1984 and moved to Charlestown, Rhode Island. He wrote a memoir, Bad Weather Bird, on his time in Northern Europe.

Tian Lingzi (田令孜) (died 893), courtesy name Zhongze (仲則), formally the Duke of Jin (晉公), was a powerful eunuch during the reign of Emperor Xizong of Tang. During most of Emperor Xizong's reign, he had a stranglehold on power due to his close personal relationship with Emperor Xizong as well as his control over the eunuch-commanded Shence Armies, even throughout Emperor Xizong's flight to Xichuan Circuit (西川, headquartered in modern Chengdu, Sichuan) in the face of Huang Chao's agrarian rebellion. Late in Emperor Xizong's reign, he was forced to give up his powerful position after his dispute with the warlord Wang Chongrong led to multiple rebellions that rendered the Tang court virtually powerless over the warlords, and he was given refuge by his brother Chen Jingxuan, the military governor of Xichuan. In 891, however, Chen was defeated by Wang Jian and forced to surrender Xichuan to Wang. In 893, Wang put Chen and Tian to death.

George E. LeRoy Hudson (August 4, 1883 – January 14, 1952) was a politician from Alberta, Canada. Hudson was first elected to the Alberta Legislature in the 1913 Alberta general election, winning the new Wainwright electoral district for the Conservative party in a hotly contested election over Liberal candidate and first Mayor of the Town of Wainwright Henry Yale Pawling in which he won by less than 100 votes. Hudson was re-elected to his second term in the Legislature in the 1917 Alberta general election by acclamation under section 38 of the Election Act that stipulated that Members of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta who went to fight overseas in World War I would not face an election in their districts. In the 1921 Alberta general election Hudson was defeated in a landslide by John Russell Love, a candidate from the United Farmers of Alberta. He attempted to regain his seat and faced Love again in the 1926 Alberta general election re-gaining over 600 votes over his 1921 total but was still defeated by a wide plurality.

Abdul Rahim Muslim Dost (Urdu: عبد الرحیم مسلم دوست; born 1960) is an Afghan Salafi jihadist militant who served primarily with the Taliban, and later, as a founding member of ISIS–K. Dost's militancy began by age 19, when he left Afghanistan to join the Ikhwan, carrying out the Grand Mosque seizure in Mecca, Saudi Arabia before most of the group were captured and executed, though Dost escaped to Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. By 1986, he had returned to Afghanistan to fight in the Soviet–Afghan War as a member of Jamaat al-Dawah ila al-Quran wal-Sunnah, a Salafist forerunner to the Taliban. Following the Soviet withdrawal, he joined the Taliban as they ascended to power in the 1990s. During the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, Dost was arrested and held in the US detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was noted for his poetic writings.<ref name

St. Patrice of Bayeux (Patricius) was the sixth bishop of Bayeux in the 5th century AD. Patrice de Bayeux was born in Bayeux in the suburb that corresponds to the present district Saint-Patrice, in a rich and Christian family and would have received a religious education. On the death of his parents, he would have given all his belongings to the clergy and the poor and transformed his birth house into a church (on the site of the present-day Saint Patrice church, which has since been completely rebuilt). Hermant puts forward the hypothetical hypothesis that the successive English invasions suffered by Normandy and the city of Bayeux would have helped to replace his cult with that of his contemporary, Patrick of Ireland. The life of Patrice de Bayeux remains uncertain and incomplete. According to Patrice Lajoye, he could have been an abbot in Evrecy. It is not even certain that Patrice was really bishop of Bayeux, although he was represented alongside the other first bishops of Bayeux on the vaults of the cathedral. His relics were transported to the cathedral of Lisieux.
