Moses Mendelssohn (6 September 1729[1] – 4 January 1786) was a German Jewish philosopher to whose ideas the Haskalah (the 'Jewish enlightenment' of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries) is indebted. Although himself a practicing orthodox Jew, he has been referred to as the father of Reform Judaism.
Benedict Arnold was a general during the American Revolutionary War who originally fought for the American Continental Army but defected to the British Army
Arnold was born in Norwich, Connecticut on January 14th 1741, a sixth generation New Englander. He was tall for his time, five foot nine and powerfully built. He was strikingly handsome, had a ready smile, a dark complexion, a distinctive nose, a prominent chin and intense, piercing blue eyes that could quickly turn from cordial to cold.
Ferrante was the only son of King Alfonso 'the Magnanimous', who conqueredNaples in 1443. He was born somewhere between 1423 and 1431 in Aragon, with a birth date of around 1425 being the most likely. His mother was Geraldine Carlino, whom Alfonso also brought from Spain to Naples. In the absence of any legitimate children, Alfonso trained Ferrante to be the heir of Naples. In looks, Ferrante did not resemble his father - he was short, heavily-built and very dark in complexion, whilst the Trastamara kings of Aragon had fair skins and dark auburn hair. He was so dark-skinned that some observers suggested that his father was a Valencian Moor (very unlikely) or that his mother had Moorish ancestors (which is possible).
