Eystein Glumra
Eystein Glumra(" Eystein the Noisy" or" Eystein the Clatterer"; Modern Norwegian" Øystein Glumra") also known as Eystein Ivarsson, was reputedly a petty king on the west coast of Norway, during the 9th Century.
The" Heimskringla" saga states that Eystein Glumra was the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson and Sigurd Eysteinsson:" The first earl in the Orkney Islands was called Sigurd, who was a son of Eystein Glumra, and brother of Ragnvald earl of More.
After Sigurd, his son Guthorm was earl for one year.
After him Torf- Einar, a son of Ragnvald, took the earldom, and was long earl, and was a man of great power".
According to the" Orkneyinga Saga", Eystein Glumra was the son of Ivar the jarl of Uplanders and grandson of Halfdan the Old.
" Orkneyinga Saga" also named Eystein Glumra as the father of Rognvald Eysteinsson:" Heiti, Gorr ’s son, was father of Sveiði the sea-king,[ who was] the father of Halfdan the old,[ who was] the father of Ivar the Uplanders ’ earl,[ who was] the father of Eystein the noisy,[ who was] the father of earl Rognvald the mighty and wise in council".

Husayn ibn Ali
Al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (10 January 626 – 10 October 680) was a grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a son of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Muhammad's daughter Fatimah.
He is an important figure in Islam as he was a member of the Household of Muhammad
("Ahl al-Bayt") and the People of the Cloak ("Ahl al-Kisā'"), as well as the third Shia Imam.
Prior to his death, the Umayyad ruler Mu'awiya appointed his son Yazid as his successor, contrary to the Hasan-Muawiya treaty.
When Muawiya died in 680 CE, Yazid demanded that Husayn pledge allegiance to him.
Husayn refused to pledge allegiance to Yazid, even though it meant sacrificing his life.
As a consequence, he left Medina, his hometown, to take refuge in Mecca in AH 60.
There, the people of Kufa sent letters to him, asking his help and pledging their allegiance to him.
So he traveled towards Kufa, after getting some favorable indications along with a small caravan of his relatives and followers but near Karbala
his caravan was intercepted by Yazid's army.
He was killed and beheaded in the Battle of Karbala on 10 October 680 (10 Muharram 61 AH) by Yazid, along with most of his family and companions, including Husayn's six month old son, Ali al-Asghar, with the women and children taken as prisoners.
Anger at Husayn's death was turned into a rallying cry that helped undermine the Umayyad caliphate's legitimacy, and ultimately its overthrow by the Abbasid Revolution.
The annual commemoration of Husayn and his children, family and companions occurs during Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, and the day he was martyred is known as "Ashura" (the tenth day of Muharram, a day of mourning for Shi'i Muslims).
Husayn's actions at Karbala fueled later Shi'a movements, and his death was decisive in shaping Islamic and Shi'a history.
The timing of Husayn's life and death were crucial as they were in one of the most challenging periods of the seventh century.
During this time, Umayyad oppression was rampant, and the stand that Husayn and his followers took became a symbol of resistance inspiring future uprisings against oppressors and injustice.
Throughout history, many notable personalities, such as Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, have cited Husayn's stand against oppression as an example for their own fights against injustice.
