Quiz time - Who am I?

[Cubster]

Rules:
1) I am a famous historical figure, who should be globally recognisable.
2) Clues will be given as to my identity twice a day - once in the morning, once in the afternoon (GMT).
3) Whoever guesses my identity gets to set the next quiz personality.


So ..... WHO AM I?

Clue 1) I am, and was, probably more admired by my enemies than by my own people.
