That's the back of Zinedine Zidane's head there! Not sure someone best known for headbutting a guy in the chest should necessarily be considered a historical figure though...

I only recognize five or six of the others, and they've all been mentioned already.

A lot of them, but I am also a history nerd. My favorite French figure is the Maid of Orleans, but the most impactful was probably Napoleon Bonaparte. I do also like Catherine De Medici though.

I don't know many historical figures by sight. There are only four that I'm confident in. Quite a few more look familiar, but I don't know their names by the face. If I heard the names I've probably heard of most of them.
