In 1598 Sir George Clifford led an attack on Puerto Rico and burned San Juan to the ground. He won a war. That next year The Globe Theater opened, featuring the contemporary works of William Shakespeare. He was merely a writer.

Yes, winning wars is what one should be remember for, not simple cultural trifles. Everybody remembers Sir Clifford, with good reason. Who ever heard of this Shakespeare guy . . . and who cares?
