Poland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieciech
Siechiech Topor 1066-1094 Duchy of mazovia, unlanded
Historically he managed to gain influence by exiling king Boleslaw the Bold (and poisoning his son Mieszko) and taking advantage of his liege Wladyslaw I Herman (who is "Infirm" in the game) even becoming his queen's lover. He was considered the de facto ruler of Poland and continously tried to gain the throne through intrigue. he is also credited with conquering pomeralia. Eventually he was defeated in a civil war, exiled and blinded by the sons of Wladyslaw in 1100.
-I actually found this guy by accident while playing some muslims and somehow remembered him vaguely from history lessons. I'm kinda disappointed he's unlanded since he is a big deal in medieval polish history and the guy was rich enough to mint his own coin and wage war against the dukes of Silesia and his liege's sons.
-his dynasty name means Axe in polish.
