Ok fine:

Did he die between the years of 1711 and 1720?

The guy may not be a household name, but he did something really, really big.
This is what got me thinking. If it's really, really big, someone must have made a film, right?
I can't answer with certainty whether he was ever portrayed in a film, so I'll give you a hint. A far right party is pissed (or pretending to be pissed in a vainglorious attempt to win votes) that there hasn't been a major blockbuster made about your elusive friend.

I think we need a clue.

I can't even think of a decent 20th question. Possibilities might be:

French?
Iberian?
Keep in mind who I represented in the webDiplomacy World Cup.

The 2021 World Cup team names were:

Yorkshire Puddings
Eastern Canada
Prosecco
Great Lakes
Greatest Lakes
Sons of Vlad
California

I can't see JECE mentioned and none of these team names reveal much.

I don't think the 2022 World Cup has happened, has it?

I am confused.

The name "Sons of Vlad" was interesting to me, so I checked and the Romanian language is classified as Romance language... I thought maybe ol' Vlad the Impaler himself, but he lived in the 1400s.

Reading back through the thread, I see someone did mention Romania before but couldn't find any viable candidates.

Aha! Well done, Mr. Joe.

So it's probably a Spanish person.

SUMMARY of the info we have:

1. Dead
2. Male
3. European (possibly Spanish)
4. Couldn't have had a driving license
5. Often been portrayed with a sword (which may or may not have been a sabre)
6. Catholic
7. NOT an entertainer
8. Real person
9,13, 14. Born between 1600 and 1700
10. NOT a native English speaker
11. Cause of death is controversial - some sources say he died of natural causes, some disagree
12. A military commander or officer
15. NOT listed here: https://www.thefamouspeople.com/17th-ce ... eaders.php
16. Native speaker of a Romance language
17. Died after 1690
18. Was NOT royal
19. Did NOT participate in the Nine Years War.
20. Did NOT die between 1711 and 1720

Clue 1: Not a household name, but he did a BIG THING.
Clue 2: A far right party is angry that there hasn't been a major movie made about him.

NOT:
Robert the Bruce
Richard the Lionheart
Barry White
John III Sobieski
Claude Louis Hector de Villars
Vendome

I'm putting far too much effort into searching for this guy.

Could it be this person?
