1207959588. Kenneth II of Alba , King of Scotland
Kenneth II (971-95)
Kenneth was the brother of Dubh. In 973 he acknowledged King Edgar of England as his lord in return for recognition that the Scots now held Lothian, which they had seized from the Angles. In about 994, however, he broke his promise to keep the peace and invaded England. He was defeated, and lost Lothian again. He killed Culen's brother in 977 and was himself killed in 995 in a blood feud at Fettercairn, Kincardineshire by Culen's son, Constantine.

1244983810. Foulques III "Nerra" , Comte d'Anjou
Fulk III Nerra, Fulk the Black or Foulques le Noir, Count of Anjou (987-1040), the most powerful of the early rulers of the Angevin dynasty.
Exposed at first to the attacks of the counts of Brittany, Fulk had to fight for a long time to defend his frontiers, finally driving the Bretons back beyond the frontiers of Anjou. having made himself master in the west, he turned his attention to the east and came into conflict with the count of Blois, Eudes II, over the territory of Saumur and a considerable part of Touraine. He defeated Eudes at Pontlevoy in 1016, and surprised and took Saumur 10 years later.
A ruthless warrior who burned and pillaged the monasteries in his path, Fulk nevertheless felt the need for pennance, making three pilgrimages to the Holy Land and founding or restoring several abbeys, including those in or near Angers, Loches and Saumur. He also built strongly fortified castles of stone (instead of wood) along the borders of his territory. For this reason he was called le Grand Bâisseur (The Great Builder).
