Ten famous Belgians

[chickenfeet]

Here we go! In honour of ladyalice and littlemissk I give you the first annual, never to be repeated, Ten Famous Belgians Quiz.

All you have to do is submit the names of ten famous Belgians. They must be famous, they must be Belgian and they may not be fictitious. The results will be used to compile the canonical list of Famous Belgians thus ending years of undergraduate frustration whenever the Ten Famous Belgians game is mentioned.

Is it cheating when Belgium is only a 45 min drive away from me?:)

I don't think proximity to you will make Belgians any more famous!

No, but it makes my knowledge of famous Belgiums a hell of a lot easier :)

Presumably we cannot count persons of note born &/or resident in the area now known as Belgium prior to 1830? (which cuts out several possibilities)

Within reason perhaps. I would be most upset though were John of Gaunt to be claimed as Belgian.

Wow... i'm honoured!

But i can't think of ten famous belgians... i feel like i'm letting the side down...
