Leone I Magno

 A stronghold against the barbaric invasions, this Pope stood up to Attila and then Genserico, put Rome's pieces together and set the basis for the Pontifical State keeping a number of emperors under his thumb and setting the relationship between spiritual and temporal level restoring Orthodoxy via a number of conciliums.

Vinibaldus

With his sister Valburga another Saint along with other three members of the family founded in Heidenheim  a monastery that was a stronghold for cultural and missionary work.

Nowadays he would have sat in an appropriately structured office along with another keeping up the defence against secular press.
