What famous people were born on your birthday?

There are WAY too many for mine, but there are a few cool ones I glanced at when I was scrolling down. Here they are:


Johan I, King of Portugal (1383-1433)
Isabella I, of Castile, Queen of Spain (1479-1504), patron of Columbus
Some pope


I'm sure there were a lot of other kings and queens as there were like 300.
