No, not Albert Salomon von Rothschild. Wrong nationality too. The man you seek was nobility but not royalty. The nobility is not the reason we know of him today.

Leibniz was a truly remarkable man who was overshadowed, a little unfairly, by his contemporary, Newton. But alas, it is not Leibniz.
The academic expertise of our mystery man was in history and education, but that is not why he is remembered!

Pretty sure this person was not on the Titanic - but if he was, he survived and lived for another quarter of a century!

No he wasn't an explorer. He's known for setting something up.

This may be a wild guess but was it Pullitzer of the Pullitzer prize...

No, not Joseph Pulitzer. We hear Mr Pulitzer's name every year but the mystery man's name only really comes to the fore every 4 years...
