1/ Erwin Rommel
2/ Hannibal Barca
3/ Horatio Nelson
4/ Henry V
5/ Napolion Bonapart
The above are sort of in order.
Interestingly, Napoleon I is listed No.2, but I would be interested in your observation as to why you would consider Rommel as more influential than Napoleon I.
William, Duke of Normandy (d. 1087) - Have you ever heard of the Norman Conquest?
William's considerable influence on the future of Britain (which no doubt spread to the rest of the western world) was more political & cultural than military. This was felt more in the south of England & even today the culture of the north is more Viking influenced than Norman.
The question was about influential military commanders and I think you would have to agree that he was influential.
