Eleanor of Aquitaine. She was a very strong woman for her time, a time when marriage was for political purposes and woman didn't have much say in anything. She made sure she had her say.

How did you leave your daughters when you divorced the king of France to marry Henry II? Did you KNOW your fave son was gay? What was it like riding a mule over the Pyrenees at the age of 80? Was John really as mean as he is reported to be? Do you like the way Katherine Hepburn portrayed you in The Lion In Winter?

I think this would be a bummer interview. Sitting Bull was notoriously not fond of the white eyes and his career as a medicine man was one which must have left him questioning how his people had fallen out of good standing with the Great Spirit. The Medicine Man's job was to monitor the signs for what the spirits wanted them to do, so his career was a failure despite his enduring fame.

It would be a short interview, but at least the bar tab would be cheap. On the other hand, stoning with Coleridge. . . . .

This thread would be more interesting if posters would give a brief outline of what they would like to discuss with the historical figure.

I would like to meet Gen. Michael Collins and ask him (amongst other things) why he chose to stand and fight when it was obvious the ambushers had the upper hand.

And another thing... why do posters want to speak with a mythical figure (Jesus Christ) ?

They don't think the person is mythical.
