There seems to be no move here now despite Srameen owing seven questions and three others owing one each, so I shall presume to offer just one that I can't resist.

They lost an eye in battle? (Or an arm?)

They were all one-eyed. Nelson (Corsica) and Žižka (Grunwald-Tannenberg) became monocular in battle. There is dispute as to whether Hannibal lost his eye in a minor engagement or suffered an infection.
But Massena: In 1808, he was accidentally shot during a hunting expedition with the imperial suite It is unclear as to whether he was shot by Napoleon himself or by General Bethier but he lost the use of one eye as a result. The moral of the story: don't play dangerous games with the boss. When the damage is incurred there is little to do but say "well aimed, Sir."

Your question.
