    If we talk about legends in the sense of personalities,
    Sir Alexander Fleming - inventor of penicillin
    And let me bring my humble "homage" to professor Nicolae Paulescu , discoverer of insulin. (please read the FULL article here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolae_Paulescu )

    If we talk about legends as both personalities AND legend, I would mention Vlad III Dracula (he changed the late middle ages world by stopping the Ottoman expansion in Europe). ( dracula-transylvania.blogspot.com/ )
